Our New Office

I’ll admit it. My eyes are always open for celebrity sightings. I make no apologies. I’m from Iowa. What do you expect?

We shopped with Dave Chapelle at the French Connection. We walked passed Cameron Diaz on the street in the Upper West Side. We even saw Greg Brady (from The Brady Bunch) get out of a cab three feet away from us. But the best celebrity sighting was Johnny Depp. Here I am sharing a moment with him at Bloomingdale’s. That’s Leo DiCaprio right behind us. It was a big day.

Some celebrities are easier to spot than others, especially the ones that don’t move. Here is a strange set of bronze Hello Kitty sculptures that we often pass on the way to the subway. Notice she is crying into a pool of water. Sad.

You don’t have to do anything out of the ordinary to see a celebrity or some kind of activity having to do with pop culture. Jason found someone to play with right on 5th Avenue without even really trying. Here he is playing a little virtual football with Peyton Manning.

Since in New York, we’ve been trying to network and take advantage of the thousands of conferences, conventions, meet ups and networking events. It’s overwhelming, I’ll be honest. But in doing so, we’ve gotten to learn a bit and listen to some big name execs speak about marketing, etc. I even got to sit in on a panel with Wyclef Jean. Neat.

But Jason actually takes the cake with celebrity meetings at conferences. Here he is with Chuck Norris … one of Jason’s heroes. He practices Chuck’s moves when no one is looking.

ps – Johnny Depp and Leo DiCaprio are actually wax. While I certainly have some street cred, I’m not quite that cool. At least not yet.
