"...There Aren't Any Good Advertising Jobs in MT"

For anyone in Montana or the hinterlands anywhere for that matter here's a great story of myth vs reality. In 2006 advertising wunderkind Alex Bogusky (Burger King, Volkswagen, etc) CD of Crispin Porter + Bogusky was interviewed in Adweek and provided the mag with the above quote. Soon afterward the head of one of our own largest & brightest agencies, Mercury, began an online dialogue with Bogusky.

Fast forward a year+ riding a new wave of economy/creativity here in Montucky and Mr Bogusky has been invited to be guest speaker at the initial offthegrid event. The offical gathering is Thursday 9.27 in Bozeman at 5:30 at the Emerson Cultural Center and is billed as a gathering of "the creative professional arts formed to try to foster better professional development, network, host speakers." That and the evening should be "a good time with him eating a little crow".

Free drinks, food & the all important string band. So if you're anywhere in the state and up for the drive I'll see you there.
