I’m fascinated with the Obama brand. And not looking forward to seeing it get watered down and distorted over the years -as it will automatically do since it now stands for everything that the government does. Presidencies are the ultimate case study in brand over-extension. Only when a president is done can we all stand back again to see what made him unique.
(ps Yes, I gave the guy some money. It was very cold)

I flew Frontier last week and noticed they had put a friend for me on the wing:

Turns out each of their planes have a different animal, who they introduce on the way in:

Pretty cool.
Unfortunately, they’re also too cheap to play any movies or TV (unless you swipe a card) and had no qualms about cycling through advertising that you couldn’t turn off through the entire flight.

Here’s another nice touch from my local coffee shop. Regulars can have their own mugs. (My husband’s says ’snuggle butt’.)

We’re meeting again this Friday morning December 12th at 9am at Umbria in the Pearl (303 NW 12th at Everett).
We have a few venue possibilities so would be great to get your input on which to choose.
And we also have Jeffre Jackson coming along -thought it would be a good chat since he’s been to/ put on a couple of these in London & Amsterdam.
Drop by if you are free and are in Portland.
Cheers.
Emily
