re: What it must be like to be Allyn McKeen

NY trip is yielding good stuff so far.

Dancer and sis both have some print work. Dancer has an NYC spot ready to start running soon. We are in talks about a national spot.

Photog is getting work from LA clients who love her work. She told me she is going to have to stop taking work soon. I told her to raise her rates. She thought it was suicide but did it. People are paying the new rates. She's happy.

The customer that I called on in Manhattan has received their prototypes on time. Everyone is happy. They are going to ask about $100 for something that is going to cost them about $12. They tossed me a couple of more projects. Sweet!

I should spend more time in Manhattan. They are abrasive, but damn, they do get things done. In CA, it takes about 10 meetings, including at least one off-site meeting, to make a decision. In NYC, so far, the decision is up to one person, and he/she makes it in a hurry.
