My Apologies

Well I'm sorry it has been a couple of weeks since I've posted. Believe me the world has not stopped turning in my absence- things have been happening.

My "mentor", Senior Copywriter at Mering, Scott informed me that this is a slow time, since they just  wrapped up a big account. So last week I spent perfecting my Internet surfing skills as well as daydreaming about shoes. However last Wednesday we took a little trip to San Francisco to check out a recording studio that we might use to do our radio and things like that.

This place was crazy cool. It was a legit (and when I say legit I mean like 'Too Legit To Quit" could have been recorded here along with all of Lady Gaga's songs and any other major songs in the past decade). It had an incredible recording equipment and booths on one side and the other half of this place was a house (to accommodate the talent and their posse-Entourage style). It was a beautiful half house.

I told Tony Horton (p90x Nazi) to suck it while indulged on chocolate croissants at the studio and beer/ a delicious flat-bread with fresh mozzarella and cherry tomatoes at Universal Cafe down the street. The guy Chris who we went to see was really laid back and cool in that "I skipped college to get drunk around Europe" way. Although he does have his masters in something... I was too distracted by the beautiful back yard of the studio to pay attention to that part.

Rewinding further to the previous Friday, it was my first MeringCarson BBQ experience. I made some new friends and spread my Kirby-ness to others. However I learned the next Monday that I wasn't successful when the lady I had had the longest conversation with forgot my name (Her name is June- I remembered hers! Why couldn't she remember mine?!)

Anyway this is all getting a bit confusing, so I promise I will update on a regular basis as things are starting to get exciting.

Yesterday was my first concepting meeting. I felt pretty cool hanging out with the team discussing media and getting assigned to work on concepts with some of the other people in the creative dept. I was honored to be recognized as more than just "the intern" but rather "Kirby".

Stay tuned to what happens next.
