Eyescream Interactive Adds New Client to Roster!
As of October 21st, Airborne Express has chosen Eyescream Interactive as their interactive agency of record. I spoke with Kim Kalapus from Eyescream over the phone yesterday morning, and she let me know just how exited they were to have a client such as this.

Pint of Portland Hits Highest Attendance Yet!
With a crowd of 230 at the renowned Bar 71 in downtown Portland the Pint of Portland enjoyed its largest crowd yet, breaking a record of 160 folks. According to John Craft, event organizer, there was about a 40% increase in new faces and the distribution list for the pint is over one thousand people. Most of the comments about the evening "related to the fact that the Pint has become a mainstay in the Portland interactive community." And that's a good thing. For more information on the Pint, check out their web site at http://www.pint.org.
