PR Meet Design; Design? PR.
I just got an e-mail that said, in part, "Downer day on sweetandbitter. For what it's worth, I believe that only acceptance of something you know to be untrue, unfulfilling or unsatisfying constitutes failure.
Failure would be if you stayed living a soul-crushing existence in NYC. Failure would be if you chose to do PR instead of contemplating what it would be like to do your own thing. Failure would be if you resign yourself to anyone else's opinion of you."
Hear, here.
To that end, and to alleviate the bumm I've been cultivating over in the Park Hill area, I've been thinking about all the exciting things that lie in store between now and that day in 2099 when I finally pass away from this mortal coil. One thing that gets me revved?
The first meeting of an (as yet named) design club here in town last night. Nota benz Jamie at DesignKlub's wee write-up on it, and shoot her an electronic if you'd like to get on the list.
And, not calling it failure or anything, but I, erm, did offer to serve as PR rep for this group. How could I not? It's chockablock with an exciting mix of industrial, graphic, fabric, fine and ceramic artists (incl. my new favorite person, Angela at Inv/Alt), gallery and shop owners and even just a few hobbyists - all of whom can benefit from my masterful use of the em dash and AP style city abbreviations.
Apple don't fall far from the press release tree, apparentaments.
You can run, but you can't hide.
Rhythm is gonna get you.
As are sub-heds.
Jeebs.
(See, Rick, told you I posted more when I was unhappy. Or was it that I posted more when I was happy. Shittt. Now I dun furgot. Pass the herb.)
