I used to
work at Modem Media on the Compaq account. When Modem announced it was
going to go public (right at the height of the dot.com boom), they asked
Compaq to commit to a huge contract guaranteeing a big chunk of business.
Compaq refused and Modem resigned the account, opting instead to take
on IBM (a move that they thought would impress investors not taking
into consideration that it would instead ruin their employee's lives...nameley,
mine.) Anyway, after we had made the announcement, we had to transition
all of our projects over to an interim agency. My former client, Scot
Petit and some of his new folks flew out to CT from Texas to say goodbye...and
we all headed out for Hibachi dinner.
The crazy-ass chef wowed us with several minutes of fire before he began...
...using his spatula to lauch little hot shrips up into the air and
at our faces.
My former Compaq client prepares to catch a hot shrip with her eye.
Katie Repetti looking like she right on target.
Me and Phoebs.
Tony Ialeggio catches a shrip flung with such force that he almost chokes
on it to death.
Impressed with our seal-like abilities to catch flying seafood, the
crazy-ass guy stepped it up a notch and started flinging the shrip with
some serious altitude.
Random photo cake we got for Rob P's birthday. (Rob used to be my
boss' boss, then after Tony left, he became my boss).
Shortly afterwards, Tony decided to leave Modem Media to take a job
at GE Capital. We sent him off with class at the Black Duck.
Mark Galley (who grew up with Tony) dishes out a smooch.
Rob, Tony and me.
