    Happy birthday!
    And thanks for the constant stream of timely, relevant news. I don’t even check the industry pubs anymore – you guys are my source.

    congratulations.
    but did you really need to open with a quote from vinny warren? i would have thought you could get lewis lazare to send some kind words.

    Likewise, kudos for providing an intelligent forum. We could use a few more of those – and a few less that rely on snide commentary and postings of “ads” full of half-naked women.

    wow, so like in blog years that’s like being hundreds of years old. How’d you make it so far so fast!
    felicitations for the finest!

    Congrats, David. And thanks for letting me contribute. I’m keenly aware of how much time you & Shawn have put into this site, and I’m proud to be a part of it.

    High Jive,
    Lazare doesn’t read blahgs. Or I would have hit him up.
    To everyone else,
    I’m truly humbled. Thanks for being so supportive!

    I realize I’m a little late here, but congrats on what is consistently one of the most informative, insightful ad blogs out there. Nancy’s comments alone are worth the price of admission.
    At the risk of revealing my shocking ignorance for all to see, who the heck is Vinny Warren?

    Hey Carl,
    Yea? You’ve been listening? Or reading my lips? Mind your earbuds, buddy!
    Nancy 🙂

    Vinny Warren, aside from being an astute reader of blahgs, is the DDB Chicago copywriter who created the infamous “Whazzup” spots for Bud.

    I have a HUGE number of sites on my daily reading list. And for some subconscious reason, yours is the only one I never miss. I’m still trying to figure out the appeal. 🙂
    Congrats David and friends! You deserve it.
