I was recently blessed with the opportunity to see AC/DC in concert. However, this was no ordinary show. This was the final dress rehearsal before they kicked off their latest tour in many years. Now me being an AC/DC fan since I can remember, the opportunity to see them before anyone else was a dream come [...]

Judging a Book by its Cover

Posted by Justin Verry on Oct 28, 2008

Have you ever walked into a brick and mortar store and been completely disgusted by the way the store looked? Whether it be toys in the middle of isles or clothing on the floors unfolded. Maybe it was one of those bargain shoe stores and you couldn’t find a matching pair because there are Nike running shoes in [...]

Are you ’spooking’ shoppers away?

Posted by Donna Talarico on Oct 22, 2008

This is my favorite time of year.  I love crunchy leaves under my boots.  (Oh, I love boots, too.) I love orange.  I love pumpkins.  I love apple cider.  I love Halloween.  And, I love, love, love to be scared!

TV Show Spin-Offs Can Teach Us A lot

Posted by Donna Talarico on Oct 15, 2008

Most of the time I can’t sleep at night.  You know how you play association games on long car rides with family or friends?  Well, sometimes I do the same thing with myself to help me fall asleep.  (I never said I was normal.)  So last night as I was trying to fall into a [...]

Posted by Donna Talarico on Oct 12, 2008

I am sure I speak for my whole department when I say the October 2008 Solid Cactus Boot Camp was a blast and a huge success!  It’s a time for account managers like me to meet clients face-to-face that previously, we’ve only spoke to on the phone.  Having this personal time is just awesome.  Not [...]
