Tagline Contests – Enter and WIN!
15th February 2011
Fans of Sprecher Black Bavarian and Sprecher Abbey Triple, what do you think of when you drink these beers? Is it something clever, something pithy, something memorable? We're interested in what you have to say and we'd love your ideas for the ideal tagline for each beer. So much so that we're hosting our first online contests, one for a Sprecher Black Bavarian tagline and one for a Sprecher Abbey Triple tagline.
1. You must be at least 21 to enter and you must be a resident of the continental United States.
2. If your tagline is selected, we will issue you a $100 gift certificate to be used in the Sprecher Gift Shop or online store. Furthermore, we'll give you big props on our social media sites. We will promote you and your winning tagline on www.sprecherbrewery.com, the Sprecher facebook page, the Sprecher twitter page, and this blog in exchange for complete legal copyright and trademark rights of the chosen tagline.
3. The rules of the contest may change at anytime(e.g. deadlines may be extended).
4. The tagline must not be in use, trademarked or copyrighted by any other entity.
5. No other strings are attached. Normal fairness rules apply—if multiple people come up with the same tagline and we choose it, the first person who posted is the winner.
The Contest:
1. Sprecher Brewing Company's meta tagline is "Remarkably Good Taste." We're now scratching our heads trying to think of something that makes people think specifically of Black Bavarian and Abbey Triple. "Damn that's good beer!" isn't quite specific enough. So we're reaching out to our consumers for input.
2. You have until February 23rd, 2011 to send us your tagline.
3. Entries and contact information should be sent to: firstname.lastname@example.com. We will review all submissions and publish the leading candidates on this blog and on our facebook site for a vote.
4. Winner(s) will be notified via email. If you are not notified by email, you did not win so please do not contact us.
5. Winning taglines will be published on Sprecher Brewing Company's social media sites along with a bio of the winner.
Game Day Wings
26th January 2011
Here's a game day chicken wing recipe adapted from Lucy Saunders which uses Sprecher Pub Ale and is deee-lish. Since we found this in the Chicago Tribune archives, we had to edit it because the beer pairing selection didn't exhibit enough respect for Wisconsin beers. Our suggestion: Pair with your favorite Sprecher beer and yell GOPACKGO!!! while you enjoy these during Super Bowl XLV.
Posted by Carol Mighton Haddix and Josh Noel
For the wings, try this recipe from the Tribune's archives, originally adapted by cookbook author Lucy Saunders from a grilled version (hey, if you want to brave the frigid outdoors, go ahead and grill 'em). She suggested using Sprecher Pub Brown Ale for the brine.
Ale-brined chili wings
Prep: 25 minutes
Marinate: 4 hours
Cook: 30 minutes
Makes: 6 servings
2 bottles (12 ounces each) brown ale
1/2 cup each: brown sugar, coarse salt
5 pounds chicken wings, tips removed, cut into two sections
2 sticks (1 cup) butter
4 each, minced: garlic cloves, jalapenos
1/2 cup each: Asian sweet hot chili sauce, hot pepper sauce or more to taste
1 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons black or white sesame seeds, optional
1. Reserve 1/4 cup ale for chili sauce. Whisk together brown sugar, salt and the remaining ale in a large bowl until dissolved. Add wings, stirring to coat. (You may need to put a plate over the bowl so that the chicken is completely submerged in brine.) Cover; refrigerate 4-8 hours.
2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over low heat; add the garlic and jalapenos. Cook, stirring, until jalapenos are tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chili sauce, hot pepper sauce, black pepper and cinnamon. Heat to a simmer; cook 3 minutes. Transfer to a blender; add reserved ale. Puree until smooth; reserve.
3. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Drain wings from brine; place on shallow baking pans. Cook, turning once, until brown and crispy, about 30 minutes. Arrange wings on platter; sprinkle with black sesame seeds. Serve chili sauce in ramekins for dipping.
Game Winning Sprecher Dopple Bock BBQ Meatballs
06th December 2010
Heard about word of mouth marketing? Serve this easy to make cocktail meatball recipe at your next party and you'll be the talk of the town.
Slow Cooked Sprecher Dopple Bock BBQ Meatballs
3 lbs Frozen cocktail meatballs (Italian style are best)*
1-2 bottles Sprecher Dopple Bock
1 cp Ketchup
1/2 cp Sprecher Root Beer BBQ Sauce (more if you want it spicier)
2 Tbs Red Wine Vinegar
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1/4 cp Brown Sugar
Combine all sauce ingredients in a slow cooker. Add meatballs, making sure to cover them in the sauce. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours. [If using a Dutch oven, set in middle of oven set to 250F. ] Midway through, check to see if you need to add more beer; adjust for flavor. Makes about 96 cocktail size meatballs.
* Note: This recipe is all about the sauce so the type of meatball (Italian, sausage, Swedish, homemade) doesn't matter all that much. You can also use larger meatballs and serve them over wide egg noodles for an enjoyable dinner. If you find you have lots of sauce left serve it with bread, brisket, pork chops, chicken and many other foods.

Happy to Help
23rd November 2010
We've promised put the recipe for Brewmaster Craig's BBQ Dopple Bock Meatballs on our blog, and we will as soon as we have the photos. Otherwise we'd be doing an injustice to the recipe and, most importantly, our readers. In the meantime we'd like to give ourselves a public pat on the back for our efforts to help the fight against breast cancer, which we couldn't do without the help of so many individuals and businesses.
Our 3rd annual Breast Cancer Awareness Spa raised $5,331, exceeding our goal of $5,000 for Gilda's Club of Southeastern Wisconsin (www.gildasclubsewi.org). Seventy-nine women (including 11 breast cancer survivors) enjoyed pampering in our Rathskellar mini-spa, a tour, lunch and gal time throughout the day thanks to our partners at Beauti-Control, Milwaukee School of Massage, Well Spa + Janis Salon, BRAVO!, and Welke's House of Roses. Gift Bags were filled with coupons and goodies donated by Elements Massage, Koss Corporation, Close Up Apparel and many stores at Bayshore Town Center. Throughout the day a great selection of raffle items from Great Lakes Distillery, Blain's Farm and Fleet, SPiN and several other partners were available for all tour guests to bid on. In addition to the money raised at this event, the George Washington Stein Club donated $1,100, which really helped push us past our goal.
This year differed from others in the level of local business participation, which is an ongoing trend. It's nice working for a good cause and more so when you're doing it with the help of others. The Breast Cancer Awareness Spa proved to be not just a win-win, but a win on multiple levels. Sprecher is proud to be part of a community that values working together and is willing to respond to a call for action. This money will be a big help to Gilda's Club of Southeastern Wisconsin, which almost closed its doors due to overwhelming damage caused by Milwaukee's mini-Katrina this past summer. Thanks to a gift by a private citizen who was moved when he learned of the Club's plight, the Club is transforming to Gilda's on Wheels so it can serve the maximum number of families affected by cancer in southeastern Wisconsin. The $5,331 raised from the Sprecher Breast Cancer Awareness Spa will assist Gilda's on Wheels as it helps families affected by breast cancer during the holidays.
Though the spa is over until next year, we still have our pink griffin Breast Cancer Awareness Ale taps at participating bars and restaurant throughout southeast Wisconsin (See Pink Griffins for the Cure post, 10/5/10). Call it Ta-Tas Ale, or Taps for Tits as some do, Sprecher is donating $10 from every keg sold now through the month of December to the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Coalition, http://www.standupandspeakout.org/. WBCC is "an alliance of individuals and organizations committed to halting the alarming incidence of breast cancer in Wisconsin. [Their] mission is to bring Wisconsin voices together to Stand Up and Speak Out about breast cancer through Education, Collaboration and Legislation."
'Tis the Season, Already!

Some people say democracy is messy, and it is. So many other processes are messy, e.g., love, brewing, art, friendship, but that doesn't mean we shy away from them. Rather, we engage wholeheartedly and work toward the best outcome. As US citizens with a vested interest in this country's outcomes we should always exercise our right to be part of the process. VOTE TODAY. Then pat yourself on the back and grab an American made craft beer or soda. Cheers to opting in!
Pink Griffins for the Cure
05th October 2010
Every year Sprecher does something to help raise money and awareness for breast cancer. A couple of years ago we gave away a free 4-pack of root beer to women who had mammograms during the month of October. For the last two years we've had a mini-Spa in our Rathskellar, with the proceeds going to Gilda's club. This year we'll have the mini-spa on November 7th. All of October we've got a new program: Breast Cancer Awareness Ale. You'll see this unique pink griffin tap handle at participating bars and restaurants.
Sprecher will donate $10 from every 1/2 barrel of the Breast Cancer Awareness Ale sold to the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Coalition. But wait, there's more! Our friends at the Princeton Club (www.princetonclub.net) donated one (1) 6-month membership to every participating bar and restaurant. Customers who purchase Sprecher's Breast Cancer Awareness Ale receive a raffle ticket. Winning tickets will be drawn in early November after the contest is over. Drink great beer for a good cause and get a chance at a health club membership; it doesn't get much better than that.

House Bill 2321: Removal of Homeschool Discrimination from HOPE Scholarship

That is so, so disgusting...all of it, the poison for the chickens and on your garden. I hope you can move ASAP! :(
Sounds like your neighbors need a visit from the clover fairy.
Y'know, since they like to trespass on your property, could you charge them with voyeurism?
That's no excuse! If he's not capable of acting like a decent human being, then he needs to have a caretaker there around the clock.
Well Make a looped recording of a longcrower crowing. Play it load several times a day. heres one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-CZf0K9e94
I've just been reading these posts after my neighbor, very similar situation except my husband is a deputy sheriff and I DO have law enforcement support....anyway...here's what I was told, If he poisons your chickens and they are egg layers, even if they only digested a bit of it, and you EAT the eggs where most of the poison is directed to, it is ATTEMPTED MURDER against YOU!!! If you were to get sick or actually DIE he is responsible!!! PLEASE be careful and I'm so so sorry about your babies!! Mine are pets and are very much beloved by me!!!! BTW I live in the South!!!
You've just made me feel better about the folks in my good-old-boy town. I am so sorry your neighbors are so vindictive and crappy. Yeesh!
I find it hilarious that he is dying of brain tumor caused by the chemically cleanish life he so loves. I opened this thread because in my thoughts about getting chickens, I think of our neighbors, and what they might do. Now they cut all our (and the other side's) tree branches so that their perfect concrete yard is like a square of no life. They make motions to try and rake some laves out of their pretty concrete yard when ever they see me, as if saying "look how your trees are messing our concrete!" I'm thinking of planting a peach tree right next to our fence just to annoy them. I'm sure they would not eat them, since they are not from a store, so they would drop and rot on their concrete.
But after reading your story, I feel lucky, I'm pretty sure my neighbors would move out before killing my chickens, and I realize I should be grateful for the concrete, that saves us from herbicides seeping to our vegetable garden!
Glad you're moving!!
For those scared of accidentally moving to her neighborhood... I'm sure there are many in this country like hers, so, get to know your neighbors before you move in! We knew already at the time of buying that our other neighbors are likeminded, and that the others are not, but that would have been too much to ask we thought then!
sorry, you are right. It's totally not the word I should have used. not like I was laughing here about his death. But there's an irony to me that he is still so against natural living (this family having chickens) even though his use of poisons is not helping him much.
That is just awful! What a terrible, terrible man! I'm am so sorry to read this. At least you are moving away...
I take it all of you saying its cruel are Vegetarians then??? you never eat chicken dinners NO? LOL dont make me laugh! Well any way just saying not agreeing with that man that went into that persons garden.... but my neighbor has chickens two doors away and my joining neighbor has allowed her chickens to roam free in his garden but we shar an allyway, and there has been piles and piles of chicken POOP everywhere where my kids walk and no one has bothered to clean it up! i think its downright rude and disgusting and i think if you want to own Chickens You should keep them in your own garden! I dont agree with going in and putting poison down But believe me Ive put chocolate down in MY garden to stop them coming into mine because im sick of the S***T they keep leaving behind and they are not even my pets! So i can totally understand why some poeple do these kind of things... Pet and poultry owners need to clean up their pets everywhere they know they go then maybe the other neighbor would be more understanding!
Interesting turn on this old thread from two brand-new posters. I wonder if they read the thread? There has been no mention of free-range poop anywhere in the OP's posts, so I can only conclude that DJAmanda's post was meant simply to harass.
This thread is from 2010.
But now I am curious... off to pm the OP. ;)
Now I feel a need to reply....
I'd have probably done something twisted like posed the dead chickens about in his yard. You know that scene in crocodile dundee when the kangaroo shoots the poachers?
random chicken sitting on his front porch reading a paper....maybe a chicken stuffed in his mailbox.....
But i'm rather twisted like that :D
I am SERIOUSLY thinking about poisoning my neighbors chickens. She doesn't feed them and they come in our yard and dig it up down past the roots! I am sick of it she won't pen them up or put up a fence to keep them in her yard. My yard looks horrible from all the spots they have destroyed!!!
It's amazing how some personalities, without doing anything to remedy the situation beforehand, will immediately jump to poison as their solution. I belong to a big chicken group online (and off) and I can tell you this is far more common than you would imagine. Baffling.
Three cheers for us crazy chicken ladies!
If it were a dog causing property damage, would you also poison it? I bet you would not, and would be appalled with the suggestion. The same goes for chickens. Don't poison them. Call animal control if the problem is that bad. Or trap them--chickens are very easy to trap.
P.S. I think all pet owners should keep their animals on their property, even chickens. I understand roaming chickens may be a nuisance to the neighbors, but please don't take it out on the birds!

The 2nd ranked Shockers beat Missouri State 68-45 Saturday, to become the first team since St. Joseph's in 2004 to finish the regular season with a perfect record.
"It seems like the season started about three weeks ago as opposed to months ago," Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said. "It's been incredible. They've met every challenge."
Wichita State (31-0, 18-0 Missouri Valley Conference) is having the best start to a season since the 1990-91 UNLV Running Rebels, which went 34-0 before losing in the national title game.
Cleanthony Early scored a game-high 19 points and added six rebounds for the Shockers, which held Missouri State to 31.4% shooting for the game.
Missouri State (19-11, 9-9) was never in the game. The Bears were behind by double digits from the 13:22 mark of the first half on.
Wichita State becomes the first team since Bradley (1985-86) to finish the season with a perfect record in Missouri Valley Conference play.

Loss Prevention Supervisor Interview
I applied online. The process took 1+ week – interviewed at Kohl's (Denver, CO (US)).
Phone interview- was rather brief and to the point. Nothing out of the ordinary. Your basic questions of; "Why this company? Greatest strengths and weaknesses.." ect. As long as you are qualified, honest, and respectful...you should receive at the very least a follow-up interview.

I applied online. The process took 4 days – interviewed at Kohl's (Bristol, CT (US)) in June 2014.
Applied online. HR called almost immediately after I applied scheduling my interview for 3 days later. I show up at my assigned time, waited, only to have HR come out and tell that it was filled by someone coming back from a leave of absence but to keep checking the website anyway! Seriously, not even a phone call! Never again. NO compassion for applicants

I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at Kohl's.
Standard interview questions. They read down a list. Where do you see yourself in 5 years, what is your greatest strength/weakness. If they talk to you like a human, and then go, "oh yea I have to read these standard questions", it is probably going well. Be on time and know the company, ask good questions that are open ended. You want the interviewer to talk, talk, talk.
Interview Questions
- How did you deal with [insert difficult situation here].? Answer Question
The offered an amount, but since the hiring manager had already told me I was the best out of all the choices I knew I could ask for more. They had to approve it and I got the number. This is corporate they have to approve everything at a higher level. Just ask, if they can't they will tell you. Make them try, if they offer the job they probably do not have anyone else.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took a week – interviewed at Kohl's in November 2012.
I had about six months of loss prevention experience and a year and a half of supervisory experience. I was hired two weeks before Black Friday, and I believe that this is the only reason I got the job. My boss, the district loss prevention manager, had me do a phone interview that lasted about five minutes long. All he asked me was about my previous work experience and if I knew how to do exception reports and investigate internals. He hired me right on the spot.
Interview Questions
- There were no difficult questions. He seemed to be in a rush and just needed someone to start ASAP for the holidays. Answer Question
I am not good at negotiating, so I didn't even try. I know I probably could have gotten a higher pay rate if I tried, so I would say just ask.

I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Kohl's (Charlotte, NC (US)) in September 2012.
I sent my resume via email to the District Loss Prevention Manager, and approximately a week later I receive a call to set up an interview. Originally the interview was to be set up at the store that I was interested in working but because I was still employed the DLPM was very helpful in setting up the interview at his office. I went into the interview with another copy of the resume that I had already sent him out of courtesy. At the end of the interview He gave me paperwork to complete a drug test, and said that after I completed the drug test he would get back with me within the week. A week later I received a call from the DLPM offering me the Loss Prevention Supervisor position that I had interviewed for.
Interview Questions
- The most difficult question asked was had I ever made a non productive stop, for every LP this is a difficult thing to talk about. 3 Answers
Since it was my first LP supervisor position I played it safe and took the first offer, if I had more experience than just loss prevention associate/ officer I would have negotiated a high rate of pay but probably only by a couple dollars considering the rate of pay is decent.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took a week – interviewed at Kohl's in February 2011.
The interview is a two part process in which you meet first with the District Loss prevention manager where they inquire and question about your work experience. This is too see if you know the business and how you worked with you present or former manager. If successful you will meet with the proposed location store manager for an interview for compatablity sake, since this will be a work partner at the location. Store manager interview is very important since this person and the other two or three managers will be your life line. They will help you be successful in the job create good working relationship with them and help them as much as you can and they will help you in return.

The hiring process was to go in the store and meet with the store manager for a one on one interview.

A job offer was made during the one on one interview by the DLPM.

Tale of the Crystal Princess. An Arcana Evolved Game. OOC
IC Thread
"Once upon a time, when wishes still worked, there was a fabulous kingdom ruled by a wise King and Queen. One day, they were blessed by the Light with a beautiful baby daughter, whom they doted upon. As she grew older, her beauty grew with her. All loved her, but her popularity did not make her unkind or arrogant, as it sometimes can. On the contrary, she was kind-hearted and generous, a friend to those less fortunate and a champion of the poor. She could sing and dance far better than anyone in the kingdom, she was brave but never foolhardy, forthright but never cruel. She studied as hard as she played, and the King and Queen were very proud of her.
"But on her eighteenth birthday the Royal Palace was visited by an evil sorceress. Nobody knows what went on, except the King and Queen, but when the sorceress left she had turned the beautiful princess into a statue made of the finest, most delicate glass. Some people in the kingdom said that the sorceress was jealous of the princess's beauty, others that there was a prophecy that the princess would be the one to kill the evil sorceress. Others muttered that King and Queen had upset the sorceress; the King was known to be short-tempered, and the Queen could be haughty and proud on occasion. But all agreed that no amount of rudeness warranted having your only child turned into a glass statue.
"The decree went out. Whoever could find a way to restore the princess to life would win her hand in marriage, half the kingdom, a fortune in gold, as much cake as they could eat, or whatever else their hearts desired. Many heroes and heroines stepped forwards to find a way to break the curse, but none succeeded. Time passed, the years turned, the King and Queen got older and still their daughter was not restored. In their grieving, they neglected the kingdom, and darkness crept into the forests and the mountain valleys, the land was beset by fearsome monsters, and broken apart by wars. A terrible shadow darkened the heart of the kingdom just as it darkened the hearts of the King and Queen.
"Fifty years have now gone by since the princess was cursed. Few now take up the challenge of breaking the sorceress spell, as everyone believes it is a fools errand, a hopeless task. Without hope, the Light fails. In our time we could see it go out forever, unless new heroes step forth."
The Setting Overview.
The Kingdom of Peladar can roughly be described by a long rectangular shape, bordered by mountains to the north, west and south, and sea to the east. It is split down the middle by a huge north-south running cliff into Upper Peladar (west) and Lower Peladar (east). Upper Peladar is largely forested, including the deep dark Hexenwald. The Black River runs west to east, tumbling over the cliff into Lower Peladar, where it splits into many smaller channels and eventually reforms as the White River, flowing out to sea by the city of Mournharbour. Sited at the Black River Falls is Candlespire Keep, home to the King and Queen and capital city of Peladar.
Since the enchantment of their daughter, royal rule is failing. Peladar, particularly Lower Peladar, is collapsing into Duchies and Baronies engaged in petty squabbles and war. Recently, a powerful warlord calling himself Lord Ironheart has arisen, based at Castle Lament in Mournharbour, and he is subjugating the smaller baronies under his rule.
To the south is the Caliphate of Suliman, actually just as much a loose conglomeration of squabbling satrapies as Peladar. Although the two nations are at peace, friction arises due to minor points of religious doctrine and cross-border bandit raids.
To the north are the fearsome Isenfjoll mountains, home to fierce Kozakh tribesmen and cold-loving monsters.
A complex archipelago lies off the eastern sea shore, beyond that the wide ocean leading to the lost home of the giants.
Travelling land, river, sea and sky are the viajetes, wandering people with a great love of life but little trusted by settled folk.
Peledar reveres The Light, a beacon of hope and goodness in a harsh world, a symbol of all that is good and pure. The Sulimen also hold the Light to be sacred, although they follow a slightly different dogma written down by their Prophet (May His Name Be Blessed). The viajetes also worship the Light, but they also pay homage to their old Aegyptian gods, notably Osiris. The Kozakhs are said to worship demons, although they have a rough and ready religion remniscent of the Norse gods.
Character Creation
Opening Scene
You begin in the village of Waybeloved, near the mysterious Forest of Lights haunted by the whispering wraiths. Waybeloved is a peaceful crossroads in the Duchy of Rosen in Lower Peladar, a river crossing for traffic heading for the nearby town of Gildenspire to board an airship, or for river traffic moving up and down one of the branches of the White River.
It is a summer evening and a wedding is in progress, perhaps even the wedding of one or two player characters. You may be guests, or you may be passing through on other business (but even strangers are invited to partake of the celebrations).Last edited by Dr Simon; Wednesday, 2nd June, 2010 at 10:42 AM.

"So-So Read"
I was really tired of hearing how hot and sexy Jory was and how EVERY guy wanted him in his bed. It got really old fast. The series was just ok for a gay romance series. My favorite m/m romance series is Cut & Run by Abigail Roux (and another author until I think the 4th book were Abi continues the series.)
"slow romantic build up"
I would give this book a B compared to all other books I've read so far. I really like that this series stay with the same characters. I loved watching them grow and evolve, also the slow build up of their romantic relationship, i'm glad these characters didn't just jump into bed.
"not for me"
This book was really boring. Returned it for another book. The first book was also boring and I thought this one would get better.
"waste of a good series"
I don't think that this book was really necessary in this series nothing really happened in this book that was very significant. wouldn't waste a credit on this.
"I'ts missing a chapter"
I have the book and I was listening and reading this book at the sometime and the unabridged version is missing a chapter. Overall this book is really good. It's very informative. I would recommend this book to anyone who is trying to live healthier.
"Funny easy listen"
It was really funny. It's a nice summer read. The narrated was really good to listen to.

The BlogObama vs. HolderObama: Do terrorists deserve Miranda rights? "Of course not."3:45 PM, Feb 3, 2010
• By STEPHEN F. HAYES
In an interview with 60 Minutes last spring, President Obama discussed the handling of captured terrorists and challenged those who claimed the "American system of justice was not up to the task of dealing with these terrorists." Nobody doubts that Abdulmutallab can be prosecuted. There were nearly three hundred people on the plane when he tried to blow it up. He lit himself on fire. Authories gathered his badly burned underpants and the components of the bomb. His prosecution was never seriously in question, which is precisely what makes the decision to Mirandize him quickly so outrageous.

It was just my Birthday and like any normal person I threw myself a party.
Okay so maybe that's not so normal, but I just moved into a new house and I was itching for an opportunity to throw a party! However like so many people, I am facing January with little to no money.
Here comes the bit my mother always said:
"Necessity is the mother of invention"
Let my creativity loose!!
I also work for a grocery store that has a floral department, and I'm not sure if you know this but florist toss TONS of flowers everyday, and I asked them to hang onto their blown roses and I walked away with over 50 blown roses that looked great in bunches!
For the food I shelled out some money for hot wings (because I love them SOOOO much!) and I got them at a good price because I bought them at cost from my grocery store. But after the money went out for the wings, very little was left for any else. Once again I had to be creative. First thing is the veggie tray, I bought 4 veggies, baby Carrots ($1), Celery ($1), Cucumbers ($1.20), Broccoli ($1), and then instead of dropping $4 on dip, I just bought the store brand ranch dressing and poured it in a little dish with a spoon (and a fancy little rose I made from a tomato peel). The ranch dressing not only saved me a few dollars it also doubled nicely for the hot wings.
Then I bought a bag of bag of tortilla chips and made a simple layered bean dip, which with the help of great sales at Kroger and armed with coupons ended up costing less than $5 to make. It had seasoned refried beans, sour cream, tomatoes, olives, red onion, avocado and cheese. Then my best friend whipped up some delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies, and snickerdoodles (never underestimate the power of cookies, and ease of asking a friend to bake some). And just to add some more filler to the table I scored some free Christmas candy which set out in fancy candy dishes makes you look like the hostess with the mostess. And just in case that wasn't enough food I bought popcorn kernels which is less than $2 for 2lbs and popped some of the good stuff with real butter and a sprinkle of sea salt, it was quite delicious. Last was the punch, a super simple inexpensive way to provide beverages to a large group. The recipe I threw together was a half gallon of Orange Juice, a 2 liter bottle of no-name lime soda, several scoops of orange sherbet and an orange sliced into rings to float on the top and make you look all fancy. The party was a big success and in the end didn't break the bank! Hooray! After all was said and done the house looked great, my friends were fed well and everyone had a brilliant time!!

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.
- Bob Dylan, The Times They Are A-Changin'
I'm sure you are wondering why I chose lyrics to open this article. Skim through them, stop here for a moment, go back through the Dylan's words, and take your time. Carefully read, and feel, what it is he's saying and savor the moment to connect the meaning of his words to the challenges you face today.
His message is as important and true today as it was when they were first written in 1964. The tide is indeed once again turning. And even though the 60s now live in the history books, right here, right now, Dylan is telling us once again that this is our time to not only sink or swim, but to do something amazing.
This is your time. This is our time. But, these times are different and what comes next is difficult to grasp. How people communicate. How people learn and share. How people make decisions. Everything is different now. Think about this…you're reading this article because it was sent to you via email or because you just happened to stumble upon it on ArtsMarketing.org. Yet more people spend their online time in social networks than they do in email or traditional websites. According to Nielsen, of the total time spent online, 22.5% are connecting and communicating in social networks. To put that in perspective, the time spent in the likes of Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube is greater than online gaming at 9.8%, email at 7.6% and search at 4%.
Imagine for a moment if you and I were connected to one another in Facebook, which just so happens to be the largest social network in the world. How big? Well, Facebook is the size today of the entire Internet in 2004. There are over 800 million people friending, liking, commenting, sharing, and engaging in Facebook and yet here we are connecting via email. Largely considered a necessary evil, email is losing ground to Facebook and other popular social networks.
Twitter has more than 200 million users.
Ever hear of tumblr? More time is spent on this popular microblogging community than Twitter.
The point is that the landscape for communication and all that's affected by human interaction is profoundly different than how you and I learned, shared or talked to one another yesterday. This transformation is only becoming more pervasive and, it's not going back.
So why am I here if I believe that email is no longer valuable? I must be honest. I'm as much a part of tomorrow as I am of yesteryear. It's why I spend all of my time researching the evolution of media and its impact on business and culture. Because of you, I share everything I learn in newsletters, emails, blogs, Youtube videos, and also traditional books. I'm dedicated to helping everyone not only understand, but grasp the change that's before you.
The people who will keep you in business or running tomorrow are the very people you're not reaching today. Before you continue to read on, allow me to clarify my point of view. My inspiration for writing this is to help you augment, not necessarily replace, the programs you're running today. We must still reach those whom matter to us in the ways they prefer to be engaged. To reach what I call the "connected consumer," we must too reach them in the ways they wish to be engaged. And in all of my work, how they connect, talk to one another, influence others, and make decisions are not at all like the traditional consumers of the past. Nor are they merely the kids…the Millennial.
Connected consumers are representative across every age group and demographic.
As you can see, use of social networks, media sharing sites, microblogs, blogs, etc. equally span across Gen Y, Gen X, and Baby Boomers. The DNA of connected customers is indiscriminant of age or any other demographic for that matter. This is more about psychographics, the linkage of people through common interests (than it is their age, gender, education, nationality or level of income). Once someone is introduced to the marvels of connectedness, the sensation becomes a contagion. It touches and affects everyone. And, that's why this isn't going anywhere but normalcy.
Social networking isn't just about telling people what you're doing. Nor is it just about generic, meaningless conversation. Today's connected consumer is incredibly influential. They're connected to hundreds and even thousands of other like-minded people. What they experience, what they support, it's shared throughout these networks, and as information travels, it shapes and steers impressions, decisions, and experiences of others.
For example, if we revisit the Nielsen research, we get an idea of just how big this is becoming. 75% spend heavily on music. How does that translate to the arts? I'd imagine the number is equally impressive. If 53% follow their favorite brand or organization, imagine what's possible. Just like this email list that connects us, connections in social networks are powerful. The difference is however, that people spend more time in social networks than they do in email.
Everything begins with an understanding of the "5 W's and H.E." - Who, What, When, Where, How, and to What Extent? The data that comes back tells you which networks are important to the people you're trying to reach, how they connect, what they share, what they value, and how to connect with them.
From there, your next steps are to create a community strategy that extends your mission, vision, and value and align it with the interests, behavior, and values of those you wish to reach and galvanize.
To help, I've prepared an action list for you, otherwise known as the 10 Steps Toward New Relevance
1. Answer why you should engage in social networks and why anyone would want to engage with you
2. Observe what brings them together and define how you can add value to the conversation
3. Identify the influential voices that matter to your world, recognize what's important to them, and find a way to start a dialogue that can foster a meaningful and mutually beneficial relationship
4. Study the best practices of not just organizations like yours, but also those who are successfully reaching the type of people you're trying to reach – it's benching marking against competitors and benchmarking against undefined opportunities
5. Translate all you've learned into a convincing presentation written to demonstrate tangible opportunity to your executive board, make the case through numbers, trends, data, insights – understanding they have no idea what's going on out there and you are both the scout and the navigator (start with a recommended pilot so everyone can learn together)
6. Listen to what they're saying and develop a process to learn from activity and adapt to interests and steer engagement based on insights
7. Recognize how they use social media and innovate based on what you observe to captivate their attention
8. Align your objectives with their objectives. If you're unsure of what they're looking for…ask
9. Invest in the development of content, engagement
10. Build a community, invest in values, spark meaningful dialogue, and offer tangible value…the kind of value they can't get anywhere else. Take advantage of the medium and the opportunity!
The reality is that we live and compete in a perpetual era of Digital Darwinism, the evolution of consumer behavior when society and technology evolve faster than our ability to adapt. This is why it's our time to alter our course. We must connect with those who are defining the future of engagement, commerce, business, and how the arts are appreciated and supported.
Even though it is the end of business as usual, it is the beginning of a new age of opportunity. The consumer revolution is already underway, and the question is: How do you better understand the role you play in this production as a connected or social consumer as well as business professional?
Again, this is your time to define a new era of engagement and relevance.

Nov 11th 2011 at 10:54 amThanks Brian, this is very useful information. Although i already subscribe to the new day of marketing, you provided many thought provoking-ideas to dig deeper in my approach to connecting to people in the new era.
Jen Meadows says:
Nov 16th 2011 at 11:27 amBrian,
I agree with everything you have presented and have been working to make our Arts Center more visible through the very means you speak of. It can be confusing about how to keep up with the fast pace of everything. It becomes quite labor intensive to update all the information across connections. I will definitely check out your blog and book. Thanks for sharing!
Brian Solis says:
Nov 17th 2011 at 3:51 amEmily...thank you. Please let me know how I can help. In the mean time, help push us forward!

Nov 18th 2011 at 9:52 amThis is great stuff, thanks for sharing. I've been preaching this with my staff for several years now, but only the younger ones seem to grasp this is the turning point in marketing arts organizations for the future. I will print this article and share with all of my people. It's quite a convincing story.

Jan 10th 2012 at 1:18 pmBrian,
Great book and great insights. Our Direct Marketing Company President, who is 73 years old, is having many of us read your book. Rock on. Before I came to Marketing I was a Professional Actor and faculty member at The Second City Theatre so while I see what you mean by this new social interaction I hardly find it useful for my life other than Marketing, Consuming and trend spotting. I have friends that have to stay connected 24/7 and claim that they have communicated with dozens of "close Friends" a day. What I have found with them, however, is the inability to carry a conversation, want, desire, or expression deeper than a 'tweet' will allow them. They are like a humingbird who can never socially stay still. I guess I just balk at the idea that Bob Dylan's The Times They are A Changin' has anything to do with the new Social Media filled with people who claim to have over 5000 Facebook "friends" when all they really have is a delusion that this IS communication and REAL social interaction. . The internet is a wonderful tool that I agree is RAPIDLY changing and your book has helped me understand what my company can do to stay in the game. But after watching my two daughters (cyber Queens in every sense of the word)communicate and mis communticate via the trap of Facebook I realize that Marketing to such folk can be a slippery slope. They are fickled consumers to say the least and are losing the ability to distinguish truth from cyber fiction. Bob Dylan was speaking a bout a 'truth' that was acomin. Not this. God bless and I do love your book. Jeffrey Hall - Beatnik Lingo Entertainment

Great stuff. I'm currently engaged with "Engage" and hoping to get to "The End of..." soon after. I'm curious if you think I've assimilated some of your teachings (#5 above) into a good lesson on engagement. Have a look...http://feldmancreative.com/2012/11/engagement-connecting-your-brand-to-buyers/

The work carried out at Cernavoda during the last few weeks has revolutionized the look of the shelter. The yard fronting the clinic, built between 2002 and 2003 and never renovated, has been completely re-designed to allow our four-legged guests a better quality of life. Timber has been replaced by metal fences of good quality, fastened using a system of screws for easy removal in case a move to the new grounds materializes. Some crumbling shacks have been dismantled and a few water-resistant advertising billboards have been "recycled" to provide our animals with some shade. Shortly we will publish a "special on the Cernavoda works", with all the pictures documenting the redevelopment activities. We thank ATRA and our Montecarlo supporters for having made possible, through their donations, the completion of these works.

They had got to the Medgidia shelter with a one-hour gap from each other and their tale had moved our facebook readers. Pupa (above) was picked up on a pavement, in the outskirts of the town, frightened and with a badly bitten ear. Pusa, instead, had been abandoned at the shelter by some Rom lasses (photo below), and was infested by hundreds of ticks. The little dogs' conditions had immediately appeared precarious, especially Pusa's who has been treated with antibiotics to reduce her fever. Ten days after their arrival their conditions have stabilized: the two lucky quadrupeds have begun a vaccination protocol which, within about a month and a half, should allow them to leave Romania and be adopted.

Bridget Maasland, the very popular Dutch TV showgirl and also founder of the Association Dutchypuppy has spent 3 days in
Romania with a camera crew.' Under the "pretext" of' subjecting a student' to a' batch of tests on field together with' the' staff in' Romania, Bridget and the crew have documented the dramatic situation' of rumenian stray dogs' and the positive development' of STD projects, supported by Bridget's Foundation too.
The crew has unfortunately witnessed of a terrible episode: an outsize dog hanging on a bridge in' Bucarest, lifeless, in the proximity of the motorway.

They had just arrived in Romania, when Sara Turetta, President of STD and her co-worker' Ylenia Bitetti' immediately run into a stray dog which was run' over (from Bucarest' to Calarasi on' a high speed county road) Sara' and Ylenia saw a' quadruped lying in the middle of the road, apparently dead.
As the animal raised up her head, with a blood rivulet' running along the snout, they didn't hesitate to stop the car and' the traffic, while incredulous drivers looked at them mocking. After some troubles,' the dog was' picked up in the car boot' (see photo above)' and taken to the' Calarasi shelter at a run, where she was given the first medical treatments' (see photo under). Chance, that's how the little dog was called, was stabilized and they will size up her general conditions tomorrow. There is certainly a fracture at the' hind leg.

*Tentative, based on very limited information
The key to proper use of this chart is not to cling to it too tightly but to understand that, given its subjectivity and simplicity, it should be used only as a learning tool. In addition, use common sense when comparing one brand with another. Compare verticals with verticals and grands with grands, and compare only similar sizes, or models whose selling prices fall within the same range. Note that, for the sake of simplicity, there may be quality differences within a single product line that are not shown here; also, a few brands were omitted due solely to lack of sufficient information about them.

I am in the preliminary stages of starting a small restaurant in Philadelphia, PA. Due to the limited availability and extremely high price for a restaurant liquor license (I've heard numbers well over $100,000), I have been planning on going with a BYO policy as many restaurants in the city do. I read about a different license called "Eating Place Malt License", which allows for the sale of beer only. This is mainly used in delis and convenience stores, but I have been in several restaurants in the city that offer beer only for in-house consumption or take-out (think you need a separate license for that) and according to the LCB it is legitimate. My question is how much on average does it cost for this type of license? I assume it must be less than a full restaurant liquor license...
Hi Melissa,
Not being in PA I couldn't tell you. But I can tell you the best way to find out is to contact your liquor control board.
From what I see through a quick search, PA offers a lucrative business of being in business of helping establishments get a license. WHEW. That tells me it's probably not an easy process. But again, I'm not there nor have I ever dealt with them.
Give 'em what they want. Just make it better than they expected.
Open to interpretation.
We are located in a suburb of Philly but used a Philly attorney to facilitate our license. His name is Barry Goldstein and he is a specialist in this area. I think he is still around. He can most likely give you a good idea what that license goes for these days and/or point you in the right direction to find one.
Back in the late 70's, we purchased our liquor license (full license) for 250,000! When we opened a 2nd store in the late 90's, we purchased another one for 50,000. Crazy. Gina

LOL...I have no issue keeping Keenum as a #2, but nothing has convinced me that he has QB1 potential. But in saying that, if Obie sees something in him that can be turned into gold, then so be it, but I wouldn't put all my eggs in Case's basket.
Very few teams have more than one viable option at QB, so I would draft our future QB and let Obie assess what Case can actually do with some coaching and mentoring. Case was put in a very difficult position this season and once teams figured out that blitzing was all they needed to do to rattle the guy, his ability to play the position successfully was compromised, and we all know Kubiak did nothing to adjust to put him in a better position to make plays once he was figured out.
I'm excited about the future if Obie is our HC and believe we need to hit the reset button at QB. I don't honestly think our starting QB of next year is currently on the roster, but I'm not an NFL coach or talent scout. Bridgewater has shown he can make plays behind a bad OL...but I know nothing about his football smarts.
This offseason will be far more exciting than this season was.
