More from my misadventures in local advertising: Looking through the entertainment pullout in the paper this morning, this ad made me laugh. The concept of a "bailout sale" is pretty good, and the staggered percentage off unique. But I have to say, I have no idea what they sell! The guy without a shirt certainly doesn't scream out "Evening Gowns, Belts & Shoes, Bags & Accessories" to you, does it? But I think the most laugh-out-loud bit is the "SALE INDEFINITELY WHILE THE ECONOMY IS BAD!" And trademarked, no less! (Might be hard to see here, but there is a small "TM" after the exclamation point.) Who makes this stuff up? I do not think they were doing this to brighten my Friday morning routine.And, oh yes, the SPAM Jam is this weekend in Waikiki. Problem is, it's right in the heart of the area on Kalakaua which is normally pretty busy. Add to that a Sheryl Crow concert at the Waikiki Shell less than a mile from the Jam, and traffic and parking could get ugly. We'll see if we venture out that way.
