Three pieces of advertising brilliance

Thing number one:  I just had a great conversation with one Cliff "Kodiak" Enten.  This guy is a personal injury lawyer who practices in Denver and our own fair burg. What's so interesting about that?  William Shatner did his ad! How does one pull that off?  I asked if I could post the ad and Enten said he'd signed about twenty-five pages worth of stuff when the ad was produced and he couldn't be sure if he could let me or not.  (This is my kind of lawyer.  Most of them would make something up...) Esquire Enten promised to find out and be back in touch so I could ask him a lot of dumb questions about the ad. This, of course, is my forte'.  I'll keep you posted (no pun intended.)  Can we take up a collection and have The Shat do an ad for All the Talk of the Town?

Thing number two:  Watch out ad folks, there's a new gun in town!  Check out that beautiful flyer up above.  It was created by my 13-year old lawn care king, Tanner Silva.  Last summer for the first time in my life, my lawn actually looked like a golf green, probably because Tanner was taking care of it and his family owns Pine Creek Gold Course, so he treated it like a golf green.  (It humbled even my feminist husband who has been known to say, "Women shouldn't be allowed to own lawns.")  Tanner is expanding his business, thus the flyer.  (Sorry gang, he can't drive yet so he can only mow in the neighborhood.)  I think his is some of the nicest advertising I've seen.

Thing number three:  The big tease.  I can't tell you much about this, but when I can you're going to love it.  (I worked with a reporter at Channel 11 who used to do this, and we were all going to gang up and club her to death.  Bear with me here.)  There is a certain retired detective in town (you all think you know who this is and you're all wrong) who is starring in the pilot for a possible new reality crime show.  I saw the pitch and it is fabulous.  All I wanted was more.  He promises, as soon as there's news, I get it first.  (Please read this with a seventh grade smirk.)  Tah dah!  If you want to verbally club me to death, go to the bottom of this post where it says comments, click on it and whack away.
