I was there, along with the rest of my office crew, to promote Royall Media and network with old clients while introducing ourselves to other members of the business community.

This year our slogan was “Snuff Out The Competition – Hire A Marketing Ninja” and everyone, including myself, dressed in custom orange ninja uniforms. Not exactly the best option for stealth, but very effective at drawing attention to our booth and ourselves.

The whole night was a ton of fun until I was about 5 miles from my apartment and I got a flat tire. Luckily, I was right at an exit when I noticed the flat and there was a convenience store (un Dep pour mes ami francophone) less then 200 meters from the exit. I wonder what the store clerk thought when he saw me dressed in an orange ninja uniform parked my car and did a quick tire change.

Perhaps no day can be perfect, but honestly I had such a good day that even a flat tire barely fazed me. However the cost of the tires today was a little more distressing.
