This past week I got word that there was a
social marketing meeting going on at the Hilton Double Tree in Downers Grove, IL. I learned of this event via Facebook and decided to check it out and learn something new. Of course, I brought the couch just in case.
Now... keep in mind that the couch has had dogs on it, a troll sat on it, it hit a stop sign, rolled through a campsite, has been by NUMEROUS bonfires, has had people sleep/pass out on it, has been on a car lift, has been stood on, has been towed beind a car, has had beer, vodka, Jack Daniels, Rum, and juice spilled on it, has been rained on and has been sat on by TONS of people. What I am getting at is that it has been around this past year and is showing it's age. That being said....
This is the REAR LOBBY of the Hilton DoubleTree.
I scoped out the path of the couch from the parking lot to the room that the meeting was in. The path consisted of passing through the lobby above, down a hall past the gift shop, then around the corner behind the main lobby and check in and into the bar/restraunt area. As cool as it would have been to wheel the couch right in there... I didn't feel like making that kind of scene that night.
I opted for a true couch picture in the parking lot! This is what the couch is all about. It isn't a "nice" couch because it doesn't have to be a nice couch. It doesn't fit in and it gets attention. It belongs in the parking lot hanging out of the back of a pick up truck...lol
You may also recognize my buddy Lubo from the camping visit and the Thirsty Troll Brew Fest.
I had a great time at the
Underground meeting and will be back for next month's meeting. You will see some new ideas that I have thanks to speaker
Ramon Deleon of Dominos.
