the MARTINI SHAKER

Yeah, well, maybe… depends on what end of the stick you’re on. Or better yet, what side of the self-imagined Internet drama you’re on (that interweb is the nexus of society you know)

So, I had the opportunity to meet Ze Frank today, and WOW, did I kick it fanboy style! I can’t really remember a moment when I did any sort of starstruck routine, but when I got my chance to talk it went basically as such:

“So Ze, great presentation today… you know, as an interactive creative, blah bleh (trip over tongue)… ahhh… f**k it, good job today.”

See, that’s the problem you get when you get a bunch of interactive folk together with two hardcore bloggers that try to put together the good questions. Inevitably, Makers Mark & Coke gets in the way. At least Average Jane had the foresight to just watch me dork out and then volunteer to take the above camera phone pic .

Ehh… you know, I guess it’s not such an apology or an “I blame it on the agency open bar tab” that I’m posting, but more of a “damn, wish I had more than 30 seconds to form an interesting conversation here.” There was a lot that I could have discussed with you for quite a while, but there just wasn’t the time. That’s OK.

You inspired a lot of sports racers today Ze… and not just those who were interactiveally disposed. Thanks. Wish we could have that every day.
