A new site for Blue 541

Our friends at Blue 541 in Coeur d’Alene have updated their agency website. It’s a nice showcase of their previous work, as well as their interactive capabilities.

Oh yeah, and they’ve got a cat too.

Jeff Barker, a dear friend, gifted designer, and all-around great guy, was involved in a near-fatal motorcycle accident on October 2, 2008. Please join Wirestone and friends as we toast Jeff’s new lease on life with a great night of music, a silent auction and tons of fun.

Details about the event are as follows:

Date: Friday, January 23rd, 2009

All proceeds from the Broken Barker Bash and silent auction will help to pay Jeff’s medical and recovery expenses.
