February 8, 2008 Get Yer Za-Za OutHey Y’all — The first day of the ASI Dallas Show was a good one, with lots of happy, friendly Texans and some awesome new products. My favorite? Selco’s new “Hardcore” watch line (see photo), which is hip, edgy and totally cool. After the show Christian Brandt, ASI’s executive director of catalog sales and my show “handler,” and I went out to dinner with Mark Hobbs from DeyRey Nuts and Nadine Panetti from PromoBiz at the sensationally swanky Hotel ZaZa (www.hotelzazadallas.com). It was just awesome and it is definitely the place where the beautiful people congregate. Mark and Nadine are two of the industry’s pretty people and as a couple, they look like celebs. We should just merge their names together and call them “Mardine” — like Bennifer and Brangelina. (See photos)
I didn’t make it to the Ultimate Texas Bash at Eddie Deen’s Ranch, but Joe Haley tells me that it was a blast and that quite a few industry cowboys and cowgirls rode a mechanical bull. He predicted that there would be more than one person waking up with a Texas-sized hangover this morning.
After the show today, Ron Ball, Rich Fairfield — publisher of ASI’s magazines and the poor soul who Ron and I both report to — (Rich often laughs and tells people that while he loves us, we’re “unmanageable”) are driving three hours to Austin, TX, to meet with one of Rich’s favorite people in the industry, Herbie Piller, the owner of GroLine.
