Orioles Opening Day is practically a holiday in Baltimore. Actually, it IS a holiday. And it’s today! As with all holidays, we’re celebrating – lots of orange being worn in the office, no meetings scheduled for the afternoon and, naturally, cupcakes. As we get ourselves excited (which doesn’t take much effort), we’ve been noticing the similar vocabularies between the […]
Craft lovers packed the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, Pa this past weekend for the Sugarloaf Crafts Festival’s third spring show of the 2013 season. With a record setting 15% increase in the number of visitors, exhibitors were happy with all-time high attendance and sales—and we were happy with the record-setting media coverage of

It’s quite an ironic sight-seeing boats parading through snow lined streets. We saw it last week at the New England Boat Show in Boston. Two days before boats moved in to the Boston Convention Center, the city was blanketed by a record setting winter storm – up to 30 inches in some areas. It was

This afternoon was one of “those” afternoons following a hectic week: lots of heavy sighs (as if finally being able to catch our breath), the sound of a week’s worth of coffee cups being washed, thoughtful replies to emails from earlier in the week. On afternoons like this, someone always seems to start a conversation

The Atlantic City Boat Show opened last week, and given our months of work promoting the show, we were flush for the trip to AC (woooo!) to coordinate the on-site media. The show itself was worth the trip – hundreds of boats, huge crowds anticipating summer fun, boating simulators and activities, and even 200lb. alligator-catching.

In our planning meeting this morning, we were reminded of the virtue and power of second chances. Last night, the Ravens showed grit and perseverance (especially in the second half) in their rematch against the New England Patriots; in two weeks, they will play in their second Super Bowl. Later this morning, Barack Obama will

We don’t think (or like to admit) that we may be typical, but today, in Baltimore, we are. Lots of us are wearing purple in support of the Ravens (although it’s interesting that some of the men chose not to for fear of disrespecting their other favorite teams). What has been more interesting, though, is the
