A very good friend of mine and a member of The Creekbed, is a great designer by the name of Kyle Williams. This is a cool little piece of work he produced for the Tampa Bay Brewing Company.
Beer is your friend. Never forget that.

Unfortunately, I told you this wasn’t over.
More talented people on the streets. It’s just a shame. We need to revise the Telecommunications Act.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Clear Channel Communications Inc., the largest owner of U.S. radio stations, said Tuesday it is cutting 590 jobs, including some on-air personalities, in its second round of mass layoffs this year amid pressure from the recession and evaporating advertising budgets.
Clear Channel’s parent company, CC Media Holdings Inc., also said it will suspend its 401(k) match for all employees for the rest of the year, starting Friday. However, if the company hits 90 percent of its budget goals at the end of the year, the matches will be retroactively restored, a company spokeswoman said.
The latest cuts represent 2.7 percent of company’s total work force of 22,100. They affect operational jobs like engineering, accounting and customer service, all in the radio division. The company also has an outdoor advertising division, which sells items like billboard space and wasn’t affected by the job cuts.
The previous cuts of 1,850 jobs came in January and were also in the radio division, mostly in sales.
Clear Channel didn’t break out the latest cuts by geography or job function, but said they do include some on-air personalities, whose identities weren’t disclosed. Employees were notified of the cuts Tuesday.

We’ve just completed a very smart campaign for Comcast. A strong winback message, IMHO. Honest. Just the way it should be. And you have to appreciate the humility of the subhead. Here are two of four oversized postcards, which will be followed by a letterpak.
