Who's that goofball?

It's me! Nina took some ridiculous photos during the mini-parade the other day...I hope they are worth a laugh, or at least a chuckle.


Lisa Knapp of the Downtown Akron Partnership introducing my design (too bad the microphone is blocking her!) at the desitination for the parade - Cascade Plaza.

Goofy, for sure! Nina and I got to ride the Magical Train back to Lock 3. Yes, It's only a block or so away, but we could act like little kids for a few minutes. It was a fun afternoon, and now the design is out there - I hope you like it!

First Night Akron

Liz was chosen this year to create the art for the First Night Akron button. It's a really great honor and she came up with an excellent design for this year. It looks amazing, everyone is super excited for the event. Liz and I helped with the parade today to kick off First Night Akron and introduce the button art to the community. We took some fun photos of the parade and press conference so check back tomorrow for photos and more information on the event!

One more thing...

Amidst all of the excitement I just mentioned, we want you! Or someone you know! I finally decided to bring on another design whiz.

So if you or someone you know is looking for an internship (that could develop into something more) beginning in '09 - send them our way. It would be awesome if they knew their way around web design, as well as print.

Catching Up!

Lots has been going on iMMiX STUDiO this summer. I took my last vacation for the summer, to beautiful coastal Maine; Nina is planning a trip to the beach for next weekend; I am feeling slightly older as my 10 year high school reunion is approaching; and oh yeah...WE ARE OPENING ANOTHER PAT'S COMPUTER RESCUE!!!

It's really exciting news, and once we set our minds to something, we make it happen, fast! After two years of rescuing the good people of Hudson from their computer woes, we are opening a second PCR in Medina. Stay tuned for much more...

Rock Climbing

This is sort of off the topic BUT I thought I'd write about it anyway because it's something that everyone should try! I started rock climbing with my brothers at indoor gyms in the area about 8 months ago. We either go to Kendall Cliffs which is right in Peninsula or we go to the Cleveland Rock Gym in Euclid. It's great excerise and after doing it once, you'll be hooked! We go every Thursday if anyone is interested!!


So after 8 months of climbing indoors I finally got a chance to get outside and try out some real climbing!! A big group of us, including my three brothers, went down to West Virginia a couple of weeks ago and spent the weekend climbing. It was amazing! I wasn't to sure about it at first because real rocks just seemed a little bit more dangerous and scary than fake ones. Once I got started though, I really got the hang of it and it was actually a lot easier than climbing in the gym... I can't lie though... it is SO much scary than climbing in a gym. It's also just nice to get outside and spend some time with friends and family! Here are some photos from the trip...

You can't really see me but... I'm sitting at the top of that ledge all the way at the top to the right. My legs are dangling off. This was really high and I totally lost it when I got to the top!
If you look to the right of me, that is Summersville Lake. The view from the top made the climb worth it!

Randomness from Yesterday

1. Nina was still MIA (recovering from her jetsetting trip to San Francisco) - thank god she's back today!
2. I'm on the Summit ArtSpace Advisory Committee, and we met yesterday to figure out most of the lineup for 2009 - it should be pretty exciting. In fact if you're looking for something fun to do tomorrow night, check out the latest exhibit's opening: Yours, Mine & Theirs - High Stake Portraiture from 5-7 >
3. On a more personal note - I'm totally addicted to Lost (TV Show). Everyone had been talking about it, and loving it. So I decided to join Netflix and start from the beginning. I finished Season 1 yesterday and dove into Season 2. I sat on the couch peeking through my hand in front of my face because it was so intense, or I'm just a wuss.
4. Random for today: The Stan Hywet Farmer's Market opens today! I wish there was a daily farmer's market in town. It was so nice picking up various things from the markets in Europe and last weekend I went up to Clevelend's Westside Market prior to my cookoout, so it made me crave one for Akron even more. Hopefully Stan Hywet will satisfy that void, at least for tonight. Theirs runs this evening from 4-7. For more info >

Yeah, Nina!

She did it! Today we are celebrating Nina's 1 year anniversary with Immix. Most of you know what a great impact she has made on the company, but just in case you don't know - she's awesome! Nina, thanks for your hardwork and loyalty - I'm grateful everyday. (Even though you were late today) Here's to the future...
