Large house brew, everything bagel, & extra cream cheese (because you can’t get a good schmear out of just one of those dinky things).

Location: The Connection Internet Cafe: Where everyone hangs out & pretends that they’re working.

Authentic Wrigley’s wall @ Java Dog downtown.

Lion Head Rough

A lion head rough that I did for a project. I’m thinking that I’m not going to use it, but I it looked too good to send off to the trash bin without someone seeing it.

New Client: Indo Jax Surf School

Indo Jax Surf School
Wilmington, Carolina Beach, Wrightsville Beach & Topsail Beach

What a great concept. Surf Lessons for the masses and doing Surf Clinics for medically fragile kids in the area. Some sites you want to do and others you really WANT to do. This was one of the latter.

Port City Java has always had the local-coffee-shop thing down cold. They’ve become a little more Starbucks-y as they’ve gotten larger, but they’re still my favorite place for meetings.

Well, except for the Shipyard location. That one is just a little too big and crowded form my tastes.

Target Sidewalk Detail

I love Target and their attention to design. We were in Charlotte over the weekend and I noticed this on the sidewalk while we were walking out.

My least favorite night of the year is tonight. It is the night that we all lose an hour of sleep. Not that I’m lazy or anything like that, but I just don’t like the feelin that I’m getting shortchanged on anything, much less my sleep.

Jon Evans Returns…

…Anchoring the 10:00 on WSFX and the 11:00 on WECT. Nice to see a familiar face back on the air.

Jon was great to work with while I was at WWAY. He’s a great anchor, but especially when he’s having to throw out information off the cuff.

During one election, he was reading through the results as they rolled in… usually a pretty dry read, but he was throwing in little bits of information about each race that showed he really knew what was going on even out in the boonies.

I remember sitting back and thinking, "Yeah, now that’s an anchor."

Ah, good times.

‘Might actually have to watch the news tonight.

A great local blog. From the About Page: "The Grove Project is an experiment in ‘placeblogging’ and localized, citizen journalism…"

Check out Ian’s post on Being and Being Local for some insight on the value of local businesses.

If you got a menacing letter from these guys, you can rest easy. It’s a scam: NC Secretary of State Website PDF

Using the Patriot Act and the threat of "dissolution of your corporation" to scare people into paying $487.00 to get listed in your directory? For shame.

Frank Capra, Jr.

Frank Capra, Jr. passed away last night.

I didn’t know him well, but met him on several occasions over the years. He always had a smile and time to talk with aspiring local filmmakers.

I can’t image what Wilmington would have looked like had he never rode into town.

Panera Bread coming to Wilmington, NC

December 13, 2007 at 7:35 am
by Richard Perry

According to the Star News, it looks like they’re going to build two Paneras here in Wilmington. One at Mayfaire and the other location has yet to be determined.

I predict that I’ll gain 10 lbs from bagles alone after they open.

Bummer.

Wanted in Wilmington, The Definitive List

December 3, 2007 at 10:01 am
by Richard Perry

Wow, I’ve got to hand it to the guys at the Star News. They’ve been rolling out some interesting interactive features to their web site and the latest one lets you feed your own inner John Walsh by seeing if your neighbors are *gasp* WANTED!

The interactive map lets you search by street to see if your neighbors are persons of interest to the WPD, or you can drag the map around to see the neighborhoods that you don’t want to make your next housing purchase in.

All kidding aside, it’s a very interesting use of the web and it has the potential to help out the police. Two thumbs up.
