I've noticed, as I travel, the emergence of rather large vending machines devoted to things that you wouldn't expect to find in vending machines. Usually, these are high-ticket items like iPods and laptop batteries.
Here in Las Vegas, I've found one of the machines devoted ENTIRELY to Rosetta Stone language learning materials.
Now, I know that Vegas is an international Hub, but this seems like nonsense. Are that many people purchasing Rosetta Stone? Are they doing it minutes before traveling to a foreign destination?
On the other hand, from a marketing and visibility standpoint, it's clearly effective. So I'll just assume that the end goal was just that.
And here I am, turning that into a self-fulfilling declaration!
Friday and Saturday at 8pm at Solano Hall of Sacramento State University. I'm on the tech crew :-)
Clearly in a giddy state thanks to the fantastic turn-out that evening!
Steve's introductory display in the McMartin Realty reception.
Fighting soul-less sub-urban sprawl requires much energy, hence the gigantic cupcakes.
You wouldn't guess that ECOS is trying to curb massive sprawl just by looking at their massive cupcakes!
A selection of jewelry from real gypsies, from Seville, Spain.
McMartin Realty rolled out the big guns for March's Second Saturday art-walk in Sacramento. The giant floodlights illuminated the parking, filled with artists, musicians, smart urban growth proponents, and merry-makers.
There was a constant flow of people through the parking lot, and into the building to see the vibrant and varied works of featured artist Steve Memering.
