Michael Johnson

Hey what happened to you at the game in San Diego? No worries though. Glad to see you stop by here

glad you asked. i got on the bus to go back and change at the hilton and we got caught 2x by a freight train. took me 45 mins to get back to the hotel. i wasn't out of there till almost 10pm. sorry about that. sounds like it was fun though. i ended up at the W party and then some random night club. you got a nice plug today by sumser so i had to check it out. i like the borat video too! that guy's pretty good at the imitation.

It was a great night. we had lots of fun. It's nice when Sumser says nice things. Lets stay in touch. I need to find out more about what your company does

According to the local press and a couple of chats with local recruiters, the war for talent, esp in IT, is on here in Australia too. I don't know whether local recruiters are blogging about it. Another thing I picked up on at the ad:tech Sydney conference some weeks ago was that some of the firms in the digital/interactive advertising space are finding it a challenge to meet the pay expectations of digital hotshots and stay profitable. I got the impression that some thought there were signs of a repeat of dotcom boom excesses. This is all hearsay - I don't have direct evidence. Except on the war for talent front there was a notice this week in the IT section of a national newspaper about a seminar so titled.

Hey Michael, I hope all is well. Are you going to any conferences this year?

I sure will. We will aslo be doing a charity poker event again. are you all in? let me know if you want info on it. See you there.

Sure, get me some info on it. mike@avature.net

Hi Michael-

I've been prophesizing about your new venture(and the thousands like it to come) for years. For many projects, it simply makes far more sense than indo-china.

Glad to see one taking off. I'll definitely keep you in mind for future projects.

Thanks Christian. I'm down in my apt in Buenos Aires as I write this, headed back to Portland tonight after two weeks here and a quick side trip to the beaches of Uruguay (it's summer time in S. America).

Micheal,

I would be very intersted in speaking with you about the Chicago area and networking with.

Since you are from Oregon - absolutely. Unfortunately this month is pretty booked - can we shoot for January? I have the 2nd week still with availability. Touch base with me the first of the year and we will get it scheduled.

Just heard you on the Animal show today. Glad to find you on here.
