I’ve been working feverishly to prepare for the next two AdMonsters events — there’s more work than ever as Europe finally seems to be taking off. I’m heading to Zurich Feb 6, staying a week — and “stopping” in Cadiz (Spain) on the way home to check out some property there. Not that I can afford to buy anything, but it sounds good. With any luck there is some snow close to Zurich for Sunday the 13th - the day before my 35th birthday. Looks like I’ll be spending that day with Valentin in Cadiz — it’s St. Valentine’s, after all.

PS - found this in my inbox from a year or so ago: PARIS ADVERTISING FESTIVAL COLLAPSES IN DISARRAY
Keynote Speaker Pulls Out; Other Speakers Face Empty Rooms. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen to me over there. As least we don’t promise “2,000 delegates” - jeez.
