The Local Wisdom Blog

It was a humid day and took 4 hours of waiting in line, but it was worth it!   The time went by very quickly as I got to catch up on life with Valiant (his pic here), and when we finally got to meet Olivia, she was very pleasant and talkative with all the people that came out to see her, very cool indeed

I’d love to tell a story about how I woo’ed her with my electrifying personality and that we cut a deal right on the spot to have Olivia endorse Local Wisdom by allowing us to redesign her website, but then I’d be lying.  I was really more of  a deer caught in headlights as I didn’t really think ahead of time of what I wanted to say to her.  Overall she was really cool, spent more time with each fan then you’d think.  You could tell that she’s had a long day, or “a long year” as she said when I asked her about her day, but she’s really appreciates all her fans who helped make the book deal possible.

If you’d like to see if she’s coming to your city check out her schedule here.  I would suggest going to the signing if you are a fan.  As far as the book itself, I haven’t had time to read much of it yet, but I’m making time this week to read it instead of watching some of my nightly DVR shows   I’ll post a review after I’m done.

Hopefully Olivia or her people will read this post and contact Local Wisdom to design her website and bring the Dynamic Duo of Olivia Munn and Big Latin AKA “Mike” together again!

This is just one (of many) ways that Local Wisdom keeps it’s employees happy – a fun-filled night of disco bowling, pizza, wings and, of course, beer. The winner of the night is Shawn with a not-so-whopping-score of 119. Loser of the night… would be me… I swear that gutter had a ball-magnet in it.

And of course, the team’s photographers had to bring their twin Canons to the event. Here are a few photos from the night. I’ll leave out some of the more fun ones for the Facebook Fanpage.

Was cleaning out some boxes I had in the house for our garage sale this weekend when I ran into this little piece of history…  Our client Jon Fass of Accelerated Strength fame went to Rutgers along with some of the folks at Local Wisdom.  During that period of our lives, there was a visit by a Penthouse Pet at a local bar, and guess who’s picture got taken for Rutger’s newspaper The Daily Targum….What’s amazing, is the dude still looks the same…must be all that strength training….  so here’s a shout-out to you Jon Fass, when you were just a “Deer Caught in Headlights” as the caption says   You’re all growns up now!

Michael sent me this email earlier this week and it’s super important….

I just signed a petition urging Congress to pass the Internet Freedom Preservation Act of 2009, which would make Net Neutrality the law once and for all.

Please help to save the Internet and tell your members of Congress to support this important legislation.
