Thanks to an anonymous comment on a previous post, I have added a couple of new agency links:
Blue541 in Coeur d’Alene.
Salty Design Foundry in Coeur d’Alene.
Now’s your chance — step up to the mic and introduce yourself.

Here’s something completely unrelated to marketing, but I got a kick out of it anyways.
The space shuttle Discovery has been in orbit for the past 12+ days. It was scheduled to land yesterday, but bad weather has not allowed for it. Right now, they’re considering landing sometime today at Kennedy Space Center, Edwards Air Force Base or the White Sands Space Harbor, which hasn’t been used for a shuttle landing in 24 years.
While the folks over at NASA deliberate, the flight controllers in Houston are taking it all with a timely sense of humor:
Flight controllers in Houston, trying their hand at holiday songwriting, sent the Discovery crew in their daily messages lyrics to their version of the song, “Let it Snow.”
“Oh the weather at KSC is frightful. But at White Sands it’s so delightful. And since we have to land. Land White Sands. Land White Sands. Land White Sands,” it said.

Haven’t seen or heard much out of the folks up in Northern Idaho.
Anything new or notable out of Hanna & Associates? Advantage Advertising? Smash Media?
Let me know if there’s anything worth sharing.

Will the next couple of weeks be a flurry of activity, or will everyone just coast through the rest of the month? Perhaps a good indicator would be to give North by Northwest a call and see if you can schedule any studio time before the end of the month. I’d be willing to guess that you won’t be able to.
The reason behind it? Awards, of course. In order to qualify to next year’s awards, a spot must run before the end of the year (see Apple’s 1984 for a classic, and locally relevant, example).
