its that time again

yes, it's almost the end of the semester.
and I know that means everyone is flipping out finishing projects and crying and consuming massive amounts of caffeine.

BUT!
it also means that it is time for our AMAZING FANTASTICAL HOLIDAY SALE OF AMAZINGNESS.
some of you may recall the festivities of last year.
for those of you who don't, here's a quick recap:




this year we will be slangin goods December 1st through the 3rd.
but first we have to make them...

so if you are able to contribute, production will take place on Sunday, November 30th.
time is yet to be determined, but everyone will receive an email.
any questions, concerns, or suggestions, please direct to kendallaiga(at)gmail(dot)com

in the mean time, keep your chin up.

For any of you that do not own a television, hulu.com is the stompping ground for the entertainment challenged. During a recent visit to this mecca of movies and television I was offered an option to either watch an entire spot and have no commercial interruptions or to have my regularly interrupted program. Declining the latter, I watched the video that I have posted here. The spot started out as a seemingly regular attempt at emotional connection, until the end. As we, the guests thank the Hyatt for all there wonderful efforts to provide us with details that make life exceptional The multi-dimensional messaging of "Your more than Welcome" resounds strongly. I believe it makes that emotional connection. What do you think?

Postcards submitted by our group. Nico Curtis will be putting the flash presentation on a website soon along with photos he took. So stay tuned for further information on that.

AIGA Student Show – Communicate






I attended the closing of the Communicate postcard show at Western last night – I had the opportunity to talk with and see what students from other groups were doing. The show is thinking of going on the road and I would love for our group to get together and bring it to Kendall.

Hola!

Hope you all had a great summer! I am in the process of updating all of my records from last year, so if any of you have a new e-mail address or wish not to receive any more e-mails (which makes me sad.) please let me know. I have also sent out information for voting on board members. If you did not receive this, I would be more than happy to send it to you. Enjoy the rest of you summer!

I receive emails from a publication I have ordered from London called Amelias. Their latest email was about their launch party last Wednesday which was right down the street from Diana Frurip's apartment in London. I emailed her to tell her about it and she wrote back that she was there.

Their email directed me to their blog where they posted pictures of the party and I believe this picture shows Diana enjoying the music.
