Marketing Meeting

For those guided by a sense of discovery and admiration for the authentic, the original Las Vegas – an hour east of Santa Fe on the backdrop of the Sangre de Cristos in San Miguel County – delivers a true wild west ride through New Mexico’s unvarnished history so you can discover new adventures down old trails.


That’s what $90K buys for the city and county to date. The meeting, all 2½ hours of it, consisted of a conference call with the company in Tennessee telling us of their progress. Once there’s approval from the city and the county, the company moves to the creative process. I’m assuming/hoping that the creative includes a logo and simple tagline for advertising.

Believe it or not, the above statement covers all the bases we required of Northstar. There’s a lot of important info in that sentence, but it’s also too loch to be used as a tag line for most ads.

Short Ride

I took a short ride with Marc today and we had lunch at the Spic in Vegas. Nice ride, nice meal, and a nice morning.

Sadly, Erin is gone already, but that was to be expected and she and I said our goodbyes as I left.

Today I attend a meeting that will finally show us the “brand” we’ve hired a company to produce for us, the city and the county. The meeting is at 2:00 and I will ride out there today on the bike.

Pork

  • I like pork sausages, but I don’t like pork.
  • I like bacon, but I don’t like pork.
  • I like ham, but I don’t like pork.
  • I don’t hate pork and I will eat it if set in front of me, but I don’t enjoy eating pork.
  • I find it to be a flavorless piece of meat and I don’t like it.
  • In most cases I would rather eat the side dishes and leave the pork for the trash can.

We’re having pork for dinner tonight.

The 100 mile detour & other shit

  • I took the bike to the bank today.
  • I decided to take the long way home.
  • Twice this day I was required to swerve and avoid stupid.
  • First was a semi.
  • Second was a camper towed by a pickup.
  • I enjoy these solo rides. I just go where-ever I wish.
  • Today is the second day of the H-D World Ride.
  • I logged 140 miles and posted it to the World Ride site.
  • Erin’s a grump today!
  • Marylou actually likes a piece of clothing that Tori is wearing today. Something about heaven and hell?
  • I know where she’s going.
  • Taco salad for dinner tonight.
  • I’ve lost about 6 pounds this month.
  • Leave the 12th of July for Michigan with Erin.
  • ML sounds like hell lately.
  • Andy has still not been called up to fight one of the many fires out west. He’s getting anxious.
  • I’ve been drinking a bai5 lately. 5 calories per bottle . I’m trying to avoid sodas that are not associated with alcohol. Booze makes everything healthy! bai5 is a 7-up product.
  • I need to install a volume switch in Tori. And maybe an off switch in Erin.
