The Soft Pitch

Just got back from the fab Barrett Jackson car auction in Scottsdale…if you have not been at their annual event here ya gotta go. Even if u do not like cars…it is awesome to see so many cars from early 1900’s to 2010 new models. Ya need about 4-5 hours to see the displays, booths, eat, watch the people, see all the cars and the auction. Saturday night is the biggest day…saw the first Tbird every made…the car as they said started rock and roll…the black “55 beauty went for $500,000. They sold a Ford airplane for $1,100,000. whoa     Also saw Richard Petty, very cool.

I got to meet Angela Morse from Philly here for the auction (thanks to Phil Neri at BJ for her tickets)…she wants to start the first Business Marketing Assoc.  chapter in Philadelphia. Gave her all the pros and a couple of cons on how we started our BMA chapter here…good luck !!!!

It’s only 14 hours before the NFC Championship…Cards vs Philly. The first title game for AZ Cardinals…should be wild.  Home field advantage will be key to any Cardinal victory aganist such a good team. Only bad news is the Cards were on the cover of SI again. 

Our Americas leader at Electronics Marketing had a meeting with his team Friday…Phil Gallagher is from Philly…God bless him, he showed his real colors and showed up in his Eagles jersey…the red clad employees booed him. Gotta love the passion of sports fans, booing their boss.

We were also booed by one Philly customer by having the Cardinal logo on our website. Hopefully we get booed for having it up two more weeks (Super Bowl).
