I need to be more detached.

I’ve got to learn to step back and accept that, even if I put all my heart and soul into something and work as hard as I possibly can, some projects are just not going to succeed. Despite my best counsel and advice, some clients will always make piss-poor business decisions.

I know this. Just need to tell my ( Read more... )

I wanted to mention that One Man Star Wars Trilogy is returning to SF for a limited engagement beginning Sept. 25.  Buy tickets right now and make me look like the brill press agent that I am.

Side note: my boss and I had a new business meeting today. I can't say who, since the deal isn't done yet, but if the $$$ works out, I'll be rep'ing a new-ish ( Read more... )

I can't believe I'm actually excited that we're handling the PR for her new show, but I am. Sure, all of her shows are nearly identical, but they are always a laugh riot, IMO.

I just hope I don't lose an eye to a flying gladiola.

Dame Edna returns to San Francisco with "Dame Edna - Live and Intimate in Her First Last Tour"

Last night, my office had our annual Holiday dinner at Quince. It was easily one of the most incredible dining experiences I have ever had.

The restaurant is a teeny tiny bit of a place--16 tables--in a cozy Victorian on a quiet corner in Pac Heights. So small in fact, that it could not accommodate our party of 8 in the main dining room. Our only ( Read more... )

I am thrilled.

After two failed Toronto trips, owed respectively to a case of chickenpox and an expired passport , I finally saw KOOZA last night, during its final dress rehearsal.

We announced the dates for the new Cirque du Soleil show, KOOZA, today. Opens November 16 in SF and January 31 in San Jose. And SF will mark its American premiere!  Very exciting.

I saw the b-roll of the show last week and i must say, I think i love it already. The music is very Brazilian and rhythmic and brassy.

Cirque Club members can buy tickets ( Read more... )

Just back from the Star Chefs & Vintners Gala at Fort Mason.

I didn't really get to enjoy the event, as I was working--in fact, I worked my ASS off--but I had a fab time nonetheless.

I wish I could gush about how delish the food was, but as "The Help" I didn't get to sit for the three-course dinner. I did however get to taste some out of this world ( Read more... )

Some days I think I must be the worst P.R. guy in the world.

Not many people believe me when I say this, but deep down behind this extroverted exterior, I am a very shy guy. The wallflower inside me doesn’t come out often, but when it does, it always seems to be at the exact moment where I should be outgoing, introducing myself, networking and ( Read more... )
