Taxes were about 60% of my stress the past couple weeks. At least I did not have to pay anything out for last year, after all my financial loses. This year is already off to a better start, I just need to stay away from shady clientele.

Anyway,
Now it is time to get rid of the other 40% of my stress. It is time to take on the City of Santa Ana and their business zoning issues… More on that mess later.

Have a great day!

Well, this post is a few days late but it is still a needed follow up. Attending the business mixer with Coupon Saver CD was a great experience, but very tiring, especially since I came to it sleepwalking. Such a busy week I had! Here is a picture of our banner; I think the printing company did a great job on putting this together:

Anyway, we set up our booth and I got my card-scanning machine ready for any potential advertisers for the CD. There were many advertisers physically participating in the trade show, but really most of them were business to business, so advertising on a business to consumer CD would not be a prime marketing method in my book. As the show opened and carried on throughout the night, we met a great few companies whom would be a fit for our CD. This event may have helped get Coupon Saver CD’s name out a little more widespread.

That is the biggest point of trade shows, is it not?

Oh and one last thing, I wish I would have remembered to take my Nikon D70 with me for the event, it beats the hell out of my Palm Treo’s built in camera. Next time I will remember to bring it.

The AVA concert was sick. Ace Enders and a Million Different People opened the show, but really they should have played the longest opening set rather than Meg & Dia, because they (Meg & Dia) were just plain horrible. Ace Enders and his new band are so great, it was of course he who really made up The Early November anyway. Meaning he was the backbone, wrote all the music and lyrics. Anyway, the color Fred was up second, they did well… I actually like their music, might have to delve further into their relm. Meg & Dia, well sucked, I did not even listen to their banter. Then of course the headliner Angels and Airwaves played pretty damn well. I am not too sure about Tom Delong dancing around the stage like he is some reject emo (see Adam Lazzara), but his voice has improved a great amount.

I had a good time, got to hang out with Justin, Mychael and Kyle. The best part of the night was when I got to meet Ace Enders. I had bought a shirt of his from the merch table for Cindy since she could not make it to the show and I got him to sign it for her. Also I was a little tipsy from drinking, so I think I made an ass of myself, haha, I think I shook his hand like 6 times before we were done talking.

Oh well, good times! I need to sleep now, it has been a long week. I will post about the business convention that was held today, tomorrow.

Take Care!

On top of the business mixer that I will be attending tomorrow, I am also attending the Angels and Airwaves concert at the House of Blues Anaheim tonight with Justin, Cindy and Mychael. I am hoping for a great time, since my friend Ace Enders, formerly with the band The Early November, will be playing at the show. It has been quite some time since I have attended a concert, so I am sure it will reinvigorate me, especially since I am there with the people I love the most.

wOOt!

Tomorrow I will be at Orange County’s Largest Mixer with the owners of Coupon Saver CD, to help represent their product. There is supposed to be over 3,000 businesses attending this mixer as well as 350 exhibitors, so it will be a great opportunity to get Coupon Saver CD’s more wide-spread. I am excited to be a part of this project, and I hope that we come away from this mixer with more leads than we know what to do with. Figuratively speaking of course!

I will post an update after the mixer to let everyone know how it went, and hopefully I can get some pictures.
