We're featured in Impressions, pretty cool!
« on: September 08, 2014, 12:56:08 PM »
If anyone gets Impressions, check out page 50 and that's us!  Nice write up, and they used other pictures that we submitted throughout the issue.  I have yet to make an official introduction of myself or my company, so this is a start.

If you want to read the article you can do so here:impressions magazine writeup

EDIT: fixed the link

Too late! The window for introductions runs out at 250 posts! LOL!

Congrats on the exposure though!
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

yikes, 60,000 shirts and you didn't get paid?!  Can you go into that a bit more as a warning to the rest of us...

Nice! I noticed the new site a while back, looking pretty darn snazzy! The bands part of the article reminds me of high school and shows in downtown Roanoke listening to Swank (Kingscreen on here), and other local bands rock out. I cannot even fathom a 60k piece no-pay.

Ahh man, I missed the window!  Well, hi anyway.

Integrity - Thanks!  The site still needs a ton of content, but we're definitely excited about it.  Do we know each other?  I used to book/play some of those shows with Swank.  Did you go to their reunion last year, or the year before?

The 60k piece order was brutal hit, for sure, but for the most part we are past everything.  The customer simply overshot, big time, and in the end could only pay for a part of the total bill.  Regardless of the contract, if there is no money there is no money and so instead of pursuing legal action against them I decided to take 40% of the company and help keep the company afloat in hopes of recouping as much as I can.  So far it's working pretty well.

I was going to say "you have 323 posts!" but Andy beat me to it. It's cool to be in a national mag though, how many of your friends can say that? My old company was in there back in the 80's, I still have the copy somewhere (I like pictures of myself where I have hair on top of my head...)

Maybe you can get it into the business section of your local paper...

Steve, great idea!  I've put those wheels in motion.

Thanks again everyone.

Kirkage - what is DOF?  I'm going to feel stupid when you tell me, I know it.
