This poor man is a turntable slave! I think the only oppressive thing in this situation are those leather pants...

"Hold on... I hate it when this happens in an interview. Let me restart my coffee table."

Pegasus. Bitches ain't shit.

How to start a panic: On a crowded 3-hour flight to vegas, filled with tween soccer players, offer someone around you a first class seat. People perk up pretty quickly and start offering you items like candy, magazines, arranged marriages, etc...

I fly enough that I'm starting to get bumped to first class but traveling with Amy on the day before Valentine's day I figured I better give up my first class seat and sit next to her.

So, what is Amy doing in this photo? Making friendship bracelets. Yes, you read correctly. She is hosting a May workshop for photgraphers and in a flippant statement jokingly said she would offer friendship bracelets and macaroni cards to all the attendees. Ha ha, right?

Well, when the attendees started telling her how much they looked forward to getting their bracelets, Amy started feeling a little guilty. So here she is on the plane weaving 20 friendship bracelets.

In fact we were sitting at the gate before boarding when a woman came up to her and said, "Are you Amy Wenzel!? I follow your blog!" She said she recognized Amy and then noticed me from photos on Amy's blog, but then said... "well, and there are your bracelets, so I figured it must be you..." cut to: Amy sitting there struggling to get the length right on test bracelet #3.

So, as a loving husband (not at all interested in earning brownie points the day before V-Day), I have given up my first-class seat to sit next to my lovely wife, who as of yet, has not said two words to me.

She seems very busy getting the colors just right...

Stay tuned. Next stop: Vegas Baby, Vegas.

Plane-Blog: Charlotte > Detroit

Just left Charlotte, NC after a few days of business. Had some fantastic meetings and some fantastic meals. If you get to Charlotte check out 'Ilios Noche'. It's a fantastic Greek-Italian fusion restaurant with amazing food. My sister Heather who just moved to Slovakia quickly reminded me that she'll be taking a PR trip to Greece and will be having 'real' Greek food. Must admit I'm rather jealous! I've never made it over there.

Next stop will be Vegas for the WPPI convention. Luckily for Amy and I, the conference falls around Valentines day so we'll be hanging in Vegas. If anyone has a good restaurant recommendations, let me know.

In other news, check out josh's latest videos: 8:22 & 'what NOT to say on a date' at HeyJosh.com/date. Really proud of how 8:22 came out and we've been getting some great feedback from it. Getting ready to update the site with a 1.1 version that will be more focused on advice. Think this better for the long run.

Looks like I'll be in LA the second half of February. Looking forward to good weather and catching up with old friends. The more I think about it (and the colder Michigan gets) the more I would love to relocate back to California.

Here's my latest idea: The Periodic Table of Demographics. Based on the format of the table of elements, create a chart that is based on demographic information breakdowns. Then it would serve as a standard measurement that everyone could use to describe their demographics targets. Just a thought...

Alright, time to get some sleep.
