Halloween is approaching, Sr. Muerto is stirring in his grave...

For 50 +/- years I've worn an ever improving outfit for Halloween.

I call him "Sr. Muerto" since it's MY DAY (of the dead that is!)


Sr. Muerto and Jack from Cookoo's Nest, 2010





Sr. Muerto takes a selfie, 2011

Pic was AFTER 6 hours at West Hollywood Halloween Carnival 
that happens three blocks from my house, how convenient!






2006 included this effort

A SueF Yelp!

This was from my mother's Yelp page that I accidentally got into tonight...

Kim's Nail Care  

Category: Nail Salons 
Neighborhoods: Mid-City West, West Hollywood

5.0 star rating
 6/1/2011
this is the best!!!!!! nail care shop in lalaland.  Kim is a genius who can create any pattern you can think of.  besides all that the shop is immaculate and the other folks who work there are courteous, kind and most helpful  i have been going there for the better part of 20 years
try it i know l'll love it!.

The bottom line is what it is, I've been told.

No accounting for taste...

This note got the attention of a $XXBN (particular industry not to be named) group that needs boxes...got an invite to visit next week, and while there is many a slip between the cup and the lip, especially for me, I don't drink coffee...but this might just be the top of the golden pyramid!

I sound so sincere...

Subject: Paperboard production - intro to Frish

Robert, I'm the lead sales/marketing person here at Supreme, I bring more fun…see attached!

We are Los Angeles County's newest paperboard provider, about 12 miles from your plant!  (Easy press checks for you, short drive for proofing for me!)

*We came from a high end commercial printing (marketing materials) heritage, and apply our outstanding ability to put dots on paper to packaging!

I understand you have a project with a near term deadline.

Some Philosophy:

We don't charge extra for plates or dies, we invest in you first, since we're confident you'll be back.

I only do business ethically, and, when you share schedule/pricing we won't take the job if we can't do it for that price in the time allotted.

We ONLY provide SUSTAINABLE PRICING – pricing we're happy to honor for the long term.

We're family owned and hit above our weight, thanks to our pre-media operation (we support Honda Motors and McDonald's ad agencies for consistent colors everywhere)

When your work is in the house it's all we are concentrating on.

One thing I know for sure, we won't be doing business unless we meet!

Samples?  Would I show you a bad one?  They are almost useless to evaluate a packaging provider!

If I don't hear from you first, I'll call you again later today.
