OK Lucy!! I promised you I'd make a blog entry today and it's not too late. Just to prove to you that I'm a man of my word and a good friend, I'm writing this especially for you! The BLAZERS JUST WON and we filmed the game from a suite, which was awesome. What a day, starting early in Salem for the Oregon Governor's Conference on Tourism and ending with a crazy, exciting Blazer win!

Sean and I had a blast at the conference and we're very glad we attended. The attendees were exactly whom we need to focus on this year and we have something very good to offer them -- affordable and measurable television advertising/marketing. That's what we do! We just received our 5th and 6th Emmy nominations, so clearly our peers are valuing the quality of what we do and it was fun to see our customers telling others at the conference that they should work with us. As you can see from the show, we DO HAVE FUN but we take our job seriously as well and it pleases us greatly to hear the communities we've featured say that we are definitely driving tourism to their towns/cities!

I'm finally going home to see my family in South Dakota this weekend, haven't been home since last September when we did all those Black Hills videos, which you can view at www.youtube.com/blackhillstourism . It is always good to see my family and I miss my nieces and nephews and of course my siblings and my parents. I do have a pretty damn cool family if I do say so myself.

And yes, you guessed it, we're filming in Hawaii again in 3 weeks. I met Mary one year ago from May 8th, and I'll be there with her on that day to celebrate. Neither of us had any clue we'd be dating at this point, from 2,500 miles away -- not the plan. But, it worked out that way and I'm excited to see her and her precious little ones in a couple weeks. The crew comes over on May 13 and will leave the 20th. I come back on the 24th. I'm working on some "other projects" in Hawaii, so we'll see where that might go.

Time to chill in front of the boob tube, a term not used much since my childhood when my mother said it often. I'm exhausted, but I promised dear Lucy that I'd update my blog, so this one's for you baby! GREAT seeing you and everybody at the conference this week. We're excited for the future of PDXposed "Xposing" more of what our great state of Oregon has to offer. Oh and the photos are from the Blazer Pep Rally in Pioneer Square last week, total pandemonium and a blast. The second one is thanks to my new I Phone App, which I'm learning more and more about (pretty cool stuff)! Ok, nighty night!

Make good memories, always!

Jon
