   When I grow up… Career Jam

   Saturday, April 21st was PAF’s Career Jam. Following last week’s AIGA Student Portfolio Review, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this event. I was originally scheduled to be on the “creative” panel, but the “interactive” panel was a bit slim so I shifted over a room. And I’m glad I did. Not sure what all was talked about in…

   Coffee with Likemind Recap

   Last Friday we joined up with Likemind to chat over cups of coffee. A bunch of interesting people like Sage, Fredrick and Machele (among others), and some interesting conversations. It was sitting room only – the couches filled up quickly, but many found the floor around the coffee table fairly comfortable.Likemind is once a month, so you’ll need to wait…

   Mr. Coffee, that’s my name. That name again is Mr. Coffee.

   Substance is proud to announce extended beverage service for guests. Beyond our existing refreshing water service… We’ve expanded to brew-while-you-wait coffee from Stumptown. What we do is take said refreshing water, heat it, and pour it over ground-up Stumptown coffee beans. There’s a fancy machine that does most of the work for us… see below. Standing in the aisle at Fred Meyer,…

   Coffee with Likeminds, Friday, April 20th

   This Friday’s coffee is a combo deal… we’ll be joined/joining up with the Likemind group for what I believe is their inaugural Portland coffee. Same place: Stumptown on SW 3rd. Because of this, the time is changing a bit… moved a half hour earlier to 8am. Personally, I might be a bit late, but this should give the opportunity to…

   Digital Media Grow Up in City

   http://www.oregonlive.com/business/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/business/1176434704149100.xml&coll=7 I’m not sure what “Digital Media Grow Up in the City” means exactly… but I do know David is quoted in the article. I only heard his end of the conversation with the journalist, so I know he said a lot of other things besides the quote used. The article talks about how small studios are thriving in Portland because of…

   Coffee, the Office, Portfolios and a Violinist

   Been busy for the last few days, running around town, cleaning up the office, and doing what our clients pay us to do. Coffee on Friday was a lot of fun. Had a pretty sizable group, which made it difficult to capture all the conversations going on. So pics and names will have to suffice… you can just imagine all the…
