We’ve been looking forward to it quite a while, and while our contributions weren’t huge (flyer, poster, handout, yippee!) we’re honored to be a part, and we really feel that Asheville not only needs something like this, but Asheville deserves something like this. We live in an awesome town, in terms of creativity and action. Lots and lots of creatives, and it’s great to see everyone sharing what they got, knowledge-wise, experience-wise and other-wise.
That’s right, people – TEDx Asheville!
Keep on rockin’ Asheville! We love you! HALLOO CLEVELAND! (Sorry, ‘Tap comes out at the most inappropriate times.)
Attend TEDx Asheville tonight. If you can’t make it, check it out online at AshevilleFM or MountainX.
One of our best buddies and colleagues, Lee Buckner, is having a show of prints and paintings, starting this weekend at the Push Skateshop in Asheville. If you’re in the area, check it out.
He does great work, and he’s a reasonably decent guy. Since he hangs with us, please don’t judge him by the company he keeps.
Congrats, man!

It seems that a lot of places have scaled back in a sluggish economy, and while we certainly understand (we’ve gone from 8 pots of coffee a day to 7 and a half) there is also a lot to be gained if businesses are willing to step out and advertise right now.
When the economy dips, it makes a LOT of sense to get out and advertise. People still have money to spend and are looking for quality ways to spend it. You need to provide excellent service, high value and a lot of bang for the buck – but the real way to get that message out there is to ADVERTISE.
So, whether it’s a new brochure, a newsletter update, a website, an identity overhaul or a focused ad campaign, …
