Guthrie’s
Hung out with Liz tonight, and we were in her neck of the woods (Wrigleyville). Actually, I was showing up to meet her and her friends for some mural thing (I think a friend of hers to be on-site at a bar, painting a mural live). Well, on showing up… Liz and I discovered that…

Wag’s Footnote
From: RockyTo: FelixSubj: Wag’s Hey Felix, Up until the early 80’s, there was a Wag’s restaurant in the Merchandise Mart – it was owned by Walgreens (hence “Wag’s” – also note logo font) and was a knockoff Denny’s. There was a big counter where everyone had breakfast – and stirfry, I guess. Rocky

Epilogue
Hope you had a few good laughs with these commercials. I’m back on task, and planning to resume daily updates of the blog. Just… give me some more time, and I’ll eventually get caught up with the past week. See you tomorrow. :)
The Stir Fry Experts
Some time after the Linkits commercial, our family got tapped to go do this thing for Wag’s – some sort of restaurant chain. I had never heard of it, but we drove to Chicago (I think), and got put up in a hotel for a night. This wasn’t just me this time, but our entire…
Linkits Commercial
I’m not sure how it started, but my family got involved in commercials for the briefest of moments. I wish I knew the circumstances that brought this about, but somehow we have two commercials to our name. This first one just has me in it. I got tapped to play… of all things, an eskimo….
Out with the Old… In with the New
Last week, Mike mentioned that he had an old VHS tape he wanted to convert into a DVD. It was a fully copy of the Bozo the Clown show, circa the 1980’s I think. He was on the show, and participated in a big Tug-O-War contest towards the end of the episode. Success! Chris was…
Everyone, meet Jennifer
Jennifer joined us yesterday in the office. She’s technically working for Cliff doing Accounting stuff, but because of some of the space limitations at the station… she got a desk back in our area, temporarily. So – she has to endure all our loud music and nerdy jokes. And my requests for photos. And this…
Back!
Well, sort of. I know it’s been slow on the blog front lately, but for good reason. Lots of social activity for me the past week… with tons to tell you about. I have a solid week of pictures and stories to recreate, and I hope you’ll bear with me as I slowly get caught…
Everybody… Meet Baxter
I hung out with Liz tonight, and got to meet her bunny – Baxter. She let her loose for a bit, so she could run around the living room. I snappeda few photos, and just a little bit of video.
