		<title>ASI Orlando: Big Crowds, Balmy Weather &amp; Beaucoup Bon Temps!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey Everybody!
Try not to drop your jaws like Nutcracker dolls, as I&#8217;m actually posting two blogs in one week! 
The last one regaled you with all the delicious details of the fabulous PSI Dusseldorf Show; this one is way closer to home &#8212; ASI&#8217;s Orlando Show, which was off-the-charts crazy busy and tons of fun, with [...]]]></description>

		<title>PSI Dusseldorf: A Divine Time (With Lots of Wine) on the Rhine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, hello and welcome to a new year, my little revelers and libertines!
I just returned from two back-to-back shows &#8212; PSI Dusseldorf and ASI Orlando &#8212; each of which was off-the-charts awesome in its own right. First up, PSI Dusseldorf:
Europe&#8217;s largest ad specialty trade show, PSI Dusseldorf welcomed 993 exhibitors &#8212; a record number for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Happy Holidays, Everyone!
Hope you&#8217;re all still basking in the warm glow of being with friends and family, eating your weight in butter cookies and consuming festive cocktails at swanky soirees like it&#8217;s your job. Me? I&#8217;m on self-imposed detox for the next 10 days, until I retox my way through the PSI Show in Dusseldorf [...]]]></description>

		<title>ASI&#8217;s 5th Annual Power Summit: After Hours!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, hi there Everyone!

For the last five years, the beginning of November has signaled ASI&#8217;s Power Summit, a three-day meeting of some of the best and brightest minds in the industry. One of ASI&#8217;s most popular events [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Best Steve Jobs Quote Ever&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like so many other people, I was saddened to hear about the death of Apple's Steve Jobs. You know, the phrase "technology visionary" gets thrown around a lot to describe lesser mortals who really aren't worthy of that weighty moniker. Steve Jobs, however, deserved it in spades...]]></description>

		<title>My Kinda Town, Chicago Is&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi Everyone!

Hope you're enjoying your summer and staying cool in this Serengeti-esque heat!

Next week (from 7/19-21) is the ASI Chicago Show at the McCormick Place Convention Center. I'll be there with bells on, as Chi-Town is one of my favorite cities in the U.S. (filled with some of my favorite industry people -- I'm looking at you, Sharon Biernat!).]]></description>

Hope you&#8217;re all getting ready for a raucous Memorial Day weekend, as I am!
Having just returned from the ASI San Diego Show, I wanted to share my slide show of fun and festivities from all the after-hours events (when I, and my degenerate ilk, really shine!). Did we have fun? You betcha! Did it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Everyone &#38; Happy May!
Long time, no blog. I know&#8230; I&#8217;ve been incommunicado, off the grid and under the radar, working on deadlines for ASI&#8217;s supplier magazine that I edit, Supplier Global Resource, and writing the Person of the Year cover story for June&#8217;s Counselor (stay tuned for this year&#8217;s exciting choice). It&#8217;s nice to [...]]]></description>
