    It's been way too long......

    Everything in San Francisco is going well! We are loving the city, the people, our apartment, and our new favorite Italian restaurant - La Briciola. Maddie and Dexter are still running the apartment. They pretty much own the place........I just pay the rent:)

    I have a ton of new pictures to post - so stay tuned in the next couple days for a nice long blog post.

    Have a great weekend!

    Finally Moved In - July 5, 2009

    Finally Moved In! (From Jenn's Blog)

    Marc and I have spent *MANY HOURS* getting our apartment together over the past month and this weekend, I'm happy to say, we're finally FINISHED!....well, sorda... If you know me and the way that I decorate, it'll always be a 'work in progress' but we're both happy with the outcome as of now. Take a look at where we started and how far we've come - it's slowly starting to feel like our home.

    View from our apartment...

    Living room NOW!
    We've been out and about in the neighborhood as well, meeting lots of fun people - love to walk Maddie and Dexter down by AT&T Park and even went on a long walk last week to the Ferry building. The pups seem to be adjusting well and are loving their new-found freedom at the dog park behind our new place...they're making lots of new friends but of course miss their crew from the NYC Tate. ;)

    We're definitely enjoying our new apartment and city - looking forward to lots more sight seeing and will post more pictures soon!

    Commuter Appreciation Day!

    Commuter Appreciation Day!

    Congratulations to Laura Olson, Mary Ellen Collins, John Scott, and the Clear Channel Promotions Team for executing another successful Commuter Appreciation Day! This is our way of showing our gratitude to people who use mass transit and strive to make the earth a better place.
    We started this morning around 6:30am at the CalTrain Station on 4th Street and at the mass transit station in Freemont with teams of 4 passing out the cool green & black bags filled with goodies!
    We set up our cool Green960 tent and table on the side walk leading to the entrance of the train station on Townsend Street......however we spent most of the morning walking around making sure we passed out as many bags as possible to commuters getting on and off the train! As you can see form the picture below, people actually noticed something different on their way to the train and wanted to learn about what were were doing this morning!
    Phaye did a wonderful job passing out bags as people ran to the train. Almost every person who took a bag immediately looked inside to see what special goodies were waiting for them.
    As you can tell, everyone getting off the train was rushing to get to work - however they took a second to grab a bag and thank us for supporting their cause!

    Check out these bags! They look very cool and are perfect to stuff with your clients goodies.
    Here are the clients involved in this months Commuter Appreciation Day:
    H&R Block
    AC Transit
    TransLink
    SubWay
    Papa Murphy Pizza
    Bank of the West
    Serramonte Ford
    Disney
    and a few more....
    We have a few more Commuter Appreciation Day's coming up in the next few months. Invite your clients - most clients in San Francisco support the GREEN movement and environmentally friendly transit which means they will want to be involved! All they need to do is supply the product/samples & a small investment with the company, and we will do the rest! We organize and stuff the bags....and pass them out to thousands of mass transit commuters! Get your clients involved TODAY for a better TOMORROW!

    Last Couple Weeks! June 14, 2009

    Byron & Jessica's Wedding Weekend!!!

    From engagement day to wedding day - Byron and Jess are a wonderful couple! Last year we had the pleasure of being with Byron and Jess when they got engaged at Coney Island in NYC. 1 year later we watched as Byron and Jess were married in Ashland, Kentucky. This is the first wedding that I have ever attend that was standing room only! Both Byron and Jess looked great, their families were wonderful, their friends were welcoming & fun, and we had an awesome time!
    Look how much fun Byron and Jess are having while talking to the 200 guest at the wedding.

    I think this picture above is a pretty good picture.........who ever took this picture needs to win an award;)

    Byron and Jess were our closest friends in NYC and have grown to be some of our best friends overall. We've missed them since we moved from the city, however based on our time at the wedding, you would never know it has been 6 months since we were together!


    WOW - that is one good looking guy! (You can pick which one)


    Jenn snagged Jess for a quick picture - aren't they beautiful young ladies!

    This is the NYC Crew! The only person missing is Ed. If you change our outfits, we probably have 10 pictures just like this from the past year.


    Hello Ladies!!!!!


    I know what you are thinking - "what is James Wallace doing at Byron's wedding?" James and I met in 7th grade when we played baseball together and went to school together in Merritt Island. Byron and I met about 6-7 years ago on AudiWorld and have been friends ever since. Byron's parents & Jame's parents have been friends for 20some years.

    Last year I was having coffee with James and mentioned that he need to meet my friend Byron. I told James that Byron was from West Virginia and I thought they would get along pretty well. Then I told Byron the same thing....... Well, as it turns out, James and Byron met briefly at Byron's sisters wedding reception. So, I like to take credit for "re-introducing" them:)


    Jessica knows how much I love popcorn, so she made sure that I had something to munch on between the wedding and the reception. This picture above is of me and Nina snagging a bag of popcorn before dinner.

    The camera guy was pretty cool. He followed us around all day and took pictures of Byron. I slipped him a few bucks to take some pictures of me..............so we will see what happens!

    FRIDAY NIGHT!
    Friday night was the rehearsal dinner filled with great wine, beer, and yummy food. We started our trip at 12:30am on Friday morning and arrived in Ashland just in time to make it to dinner.

    Again............the girls are so cute! I will say that Jess is pretty daring because there was spaghetti and other sauce filled foods at the dinner..........and she still walked away with no stains.


    Jenn and I were pretty beat after our trip, however we sure do clean up well!

    These pictures below are pretty cool because I learned something new about my iPhone! There is an App called "bump" that allows you to bump 2 iPhones together to transfer contact information. Instead of manually entering, you can just touch the iPhones and all the data shows up on the other persons phone.

    Here is the "action" shot of us bumping to trade info. BTW -this is Stephen Black. He owns an awesome Italian restaurant. His wife Jenn is very cool and they have 4 dogs that are buds with Maddie & Dexter:)

    The post bump excitement shows that our contact info has been transferred! Yes, I am lazy, but who cares.............it was easy!

    BACK TO SATURDAY NIGHT!
    We had a blast dancing! Here are a few pictures of us on the dance floor!
    James and Nina tearing it up on the dance floor! James was a stud with the tie around his head. His Mojo was just not the same when the tie was around his neck, so Nina told him to keep it around his head. She also used it as a leash - but I really think it was so he would dance better:)
    How did this picture sneak in there! This is Nina's breakfast at Huddle House at 2am after the wedding. I still can't believe she ate the whole thing!
    I spent a little time on the dance floor too.....
    This is me saying "You like those moves - don't you!!!"
    That is Nina thinking "Marc - you are a dork!"
    That is Byron's mom in the blue dress thinking "Thank goodness he is off the dance floor!"
    hehe - just kidding, I really can dance..........sometimes
    MARC & JENN PICTURES
    Jenn and I took some great pictures during the weekend. After about 2 million pictures, I started to get distracted...............as you can see below:)
    This is one of my favorite pictures! I love dancing with my beautiful bride!

    Have a great week everyone!
