No Sleep 'Til...




We had our 2nd 20th class reunion meeting last week.
More stuff ironed out. Money. Locations. Coordination. A real plan...

Patti & Steve had scoped out the Bahamma Club House at the Coronado Cay's.
It will be large enough (we think). Dinner. Mingling... Fun.
The theme is Mexico and the good times there (Chuckles gets the nod for the idea)

The locale for the Mixer Saturday night was chosen by yours truly. It is Basic Bar,
located Downtown, across from the ballpark. Great location and vibe there.
A large warehouse style bar. No cover and plenty big for us.

Overmedicated and Underappreciated


Great site for Advertising Info and thoughts:
Advertising for Peanuts

Here is the latest...
A fresh perspective on advertising

Most people don't want advertising.
They find it annoying, intrusive, unwanted, unnecessary, manipulative, etc.

Most people don't fully pay attention to ads when they do end up noticing them.
Ads are rarely (if ever) the reason for watching a TV show, reading a magazine,
visiting a website, driving down the road, etc. They are always secondary
(except on rare occasions like the super bowl).

I could go on, but I won't. You get the point.

You're probably thinking: oh boy, here it comes, he's going to tell us
that advertising doesn't work. Quite the contrary. Advertising does work.
Subtly. Its sort of like growing older. It happens, but we don't keep track
of it very often. Mostly we celebrate our age every year, not everyday.
The same for advertising. Messages are shaping our thoughts and desires
everyday, but we don't internalize them as they come, rather we wait until
the time when we need to buy something or when we're having a conversation.
And even then the internalization is often less rational and overt than we think.

This is a strange paradox: we ignore advertising, but advertising still works.
