JAYDAY FLASHMOB!
One of C/D's finest party boys is going to be in New York this week. His appearance has inspired me to organize a FLASHMOB at the Old Town Bar so you can all swap stories with him over mass quantities of alcoholic beverages.
Come to Old Town on 18th Street, between Park Ave. South and Broadway, from 2 pm to about 6:30 pm. (Why the odd hours? Because our alum has to leave around 6:00 pm or so to go to a black-tie dinner.)
And who is this mystery alum? Well, if you worked at Chiat/Day from the late 70s to the mid-1980s, even hearing the name Marty Wenzell makes you just want to rush out and have a cocktail, doesn't it?
Yep, it's Marty! He now lives in San Francisco, where he works at Goodby, and where he has a wife and four, count 'em, four boys. (Marty was an account executive, by the way.)
Stop in this Thursday afternoon at Old Town and hoist a few for Auld Lang Jay.
(And for God's sake, would somebody bring a digital camera and shoot some photos for posting on this site? I have to be in D.C., so I will miss the party, but I want to make sure it gets captured and posted on this website.)

Steve, you don't do Marty justice. He's not only working for Goodby, I believe he's now a managing partner or something quite lofty. I loved working with this guy... he was a great boss and friend. He also taught me how to drink just about everything but that Midori green thing. I'm so sorry I can't make it to the old watering hole... but please, everyone do raise a glass for Joe P.
XO,
Sharon
