11/2 - NWAADC Works Blue with George Parker

Friday, November 2nd, 2007, at the Dickson Street Theater
Doors open at 6:30 and event starts at 7:30.


Let's start this off by saying that George Parker likes to say the f-word. A LOT. But that's okay, because you see, he's really good at it. He ought to be - as a pre-eminent advertising commentator, former Madison Avenue copywriter, and creative consultant Parker has worked with advertising legends like Howard Gossage, Bill Bernbach, David Ogilvy, and every one else whose books you've read and dog-eared dutifully. (Right?)

He's also got a book of his own - MadScam - a how-to manual on creating kick-ass advertising without blowing millions of dollars on an agency review or paying Crispin Porter + Bogusky a dump-truck load of cash to have an S&M chicken hock sandwiches for you. (Unfortunately, you probably don't get to fly to Tahiti for the photo shoot.)

He's pissed off; he hates Mad Men. If you can get behind those sentiments (and who can't?), then you need to come see George Parker, advertising curmudgeon, self-proclaimed (and industry-confirmed) creative genius, and exceedingly modest fellow.

Put the kiddies to bed, and come hang out with the grown-ups, November 2nd at the Dickson St. Theatre.

Doors open at 6:30; show starts at 7:30. That's right, it's a mere week after Vault 49. Twice in one week? Bet you don't get that at home.

$5 for Members and Students. $15 for Non-Members. STUDENT MEMBERS GET IN FREE! Come out to the Dickson Street Theater on November 2nd,
