Happy Birthday, Dad

U.S.S Essex - 1960

The McCarthy's at Chicky's

Garrett and i saw these guys on Friday night. (at least the first hour anyway). with songs like "Hillbilly Highway" and "Here comes trouble" (which he lovingly dedicated to his brother Alan) we had a real good time !

Mmm...cake.

Bacardi Rum Cake

I might give this recipe a try some time !

How's Ernie ?

Fred J Eaglesmith

it might take a while for the website to load but it is a pretty funny song !

Duck...duck...

Goose ?

Jeez, you throw a few pieces of bread in the water and before you know it, you've got a melee on your hands !

Just read - Cordelia Underwood

This was the first one of the series. Great stories. A girl inherits some land, and maybe hidden treasure, in the wilds of Millinocket around 1900...a train ride and other adventures paint a wonderful picture of Portland and elsewhere at the turn of the century.

Stewart at the VIP shoot

Good thing he's very creative....clearly, wardrobe is not his forte'.

Filming a Winter TV ad at VIP

"So we'd like to get some winter footage to use in a TV campaign next year."

No problem. Sometimes you need to get a little chilly when you are trying to communicate a clients 'core truth'.

Truth was, the guys at VIP spent a good part of the Blizzard in the parking lot putting on new wiper blades, headlight bulbs and tires. Our actors were glad to only have to do it when the direction said 'Action!'

Notice the big blue snow machine next to the truck...for extra dramatic effect.

Food pitching is a bitch

We got some interesting coverage for one of our clients, Rustic Crust...trying (too hard) to tap into the Super Bowl hype.

Any publicity is good publicity, right ?

I may never eat another Snicker's bar again

Office pool

Can you tell i work for an advertising agency ?
