A FLOCK OF BRIEGER BIRDS

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Really these were just too amazing to keep quiet about, and I’m not talking about a bad 80’s band.

Mike Brieger, a local metal smith & artisan, has outdone himself again. Lucky us! We now have 4 of his amazing steel birds keeping us company all day at the office.

They are nothing short of art. They are filled with motion and energy. Each has its own personality. And oh yeah, they do successfully hold back our 50 lb curtains too. Thank you Mike.

Mike is a master at crafting creatures from steel, whether it be birds, fantasy florals or boats. There is no limit to his imagination. You can get your own by calling Mike at 970.769.0682

ZUBERFIZZ HAS A NEW 8 PACK

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

It snowed here in Durango today. Actually it dumped. And while I do love winter frolicking, I move into the season like a reluctant cat being pushed out the door in the morning. So, when the new mixed 8-pack gift boxes for Zuberfizz showed up this week, I did what any slightly depressed cold blooded person would do- I cracked open a bottle and welcomed the fizzy happy feeling. Its cheaper than anti-depressants and the bubbles do warm you up!

Zuberfizz is out the door this season with a brand spanking new, mixed soda, gift box, at the request of Cost Plus World Market. They have discovered our little Soda Company and want a piece of it. Who wouldn’t? The box features fantastic images of historic Durango. It seemed to snow more back then.

The Animas Museum, here in Durango has an incredible collection of our slice of history and I encourage anybody within range of Durango to pay it a visit.    www.animasmuseum.org

The 8-Packs can be found on the shelves on Cost Plus World Market sometime later this winter. They didn’t quite make it in time for the holiday season, but bring in the New Year cheer with some fantastic soda or buy a few for your friends.    www.worldmarket.com

KDUR FALL FUNDRAISER 2009

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

It’s our favorite time of year!

The onset of fall?
Finding that essential Halloween costume?
The impending ski season?

No, silly, the KDUR Fall Fundraiser!

Each year, the task is to come up with a new theme for the Fall Fundraiser drive, appropriate for that year’s events locally or nationally — while driving home the important message that KDUR is a local public radio station.

This year, KDUR is celebrating 35 glorious years of public radio in the 4 Corners. So, naturally, a 70’s themed ‘Family Affair’ poster and t-shirts were the idea for the drive. The poster displays photos of the past station managers in a groovy family tree. To score a ‘hip’ tee & beanie, become a KDUR member October 16-23, 2009.

POOL PARTNERS

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

It’s official.

Kris and I are officially partners in crime at pool. After 4 months of working hard to get the new shop up and running and creating our own distinctive space, we decided it would benefit us both if I had a little more equity in the business.

I’ve learned so much working with both Kris and Neil at Creative Conspiracy. When I showed up at their door in 2002 as a young pup straight out of College from Minnesota, I had no idea as to what the future would hold or what I would end up doing. I have so much gratitude for all I’ve learned and to all the great people and clients I have worked with.

Kris and I will continue to work together on projects and use each other as sounding boards as we continue to evolve at pool. I look forward to the adventures ahead of us and to working side-by-side Kris.

Always keep moving forward – Always keep things fresh and fluid.
