Lou didn’t have anything better to do over the rainy Labor Day weekend so he started playing with the blog…then he started watching some STANANDLOU videos and TV commercials…then he went back to looking at the blog when…BAM!!!, it hit him. He didn’t have a beer!!!! I know, we couldn’t believe it ourselves. Oh…I guess he came up with this Vlog thing later.
Was at Sound Works this morning recording the audio for a couple radio and TV spots for client, Little Mexico. John Swasey, from Pastorini-Bosby Talent, was the announcer and he was great!
Mark Meyer, Sound Works audio engineer, did another 
superlative edit and mix. Today was a lot of fun, we did a great job and nobody got hurt!
Lou and Kinky Friedman ran into each other at this year’s Art Car Parade in downtown Houston. Kinky was in town to serve as Grand Marshall of the annual parade. Lou worked with Kinky several years ago at the Utopia Animal Rescue Farm (owned and operated by Kinky) where Kinky filmed a public service announcement for longtime STANANDLOU client, SNAP, the Spay Neuter & Assistance Program.

The year is 1988. The Cold War is cooling off, the Iran-Contra Scandal is heating up; Reagan’s out, Bush is in. And Stan Mays and Lou Congelio decide to leave the security of a large advertising agency to start their own shop. “We had no clients in our back pockets, no money in the bank, and few would argue, no brains,” says Lou Congelio, the Lou behind STANANDLOU. But it didn’t take long for the duo to establish themselves as an award-winning, industry-leading, cutting-edge-ad-making machine. And don’t worry, we’ll keep littering your inbox with our fascinating and culturally-irrelevant history every day until we reach 2008! |
Michelle and I went to Beavers after work and met up with some old friends. Of course I reacted to the sight of old friends like any other person would; I asked them to pose in Just Ask! t-shirts. beautiful night on the patio. Wonderful colors in the sky. William Hughes, the smartest person I know, joined us for a cigar and refreshments. William is the one with no hair! And this is our link to more info about STANANDLOU!
