Pajama Day!

We are dressing down for a good cause today! InLine Media is participating in the 5th Annual PJ Day in support of Denver’s Road Home. Denver’s Road Home is Mayor Hickenlooper and our community’s 10-year plan to end homelessness.

While we get to be comfy cozy in jammies and slippers, our entire office has donated to Denver’s Road Home. We learned that PJ Day donations have helped prevent over 2,000 people from becoming homeless and since 2005 chronic homelessness has decreased by 36%! As you probably know, we are located on the 16th Street Mall and panhandling on the mall has decreased by 92%!

We are happy to support Denver’s Road Home!

Skating With Bernie!

Last week everywhere in Denver was an ice rink. With temperatures below zero every evening and morning it was treacherous to get out of bed let alone walk down the street! No one was thinking of outside events or activities. However, the cold weather snapped (finally!) on Friday and the weekend was relatively warm. Saturday morning was perfect for the remote we had scheduled at Southlands Shopping Center!

The Colorado Avalanche revealed their new mascot this year, Bernie, the St. Bernard. He was so much fun to have out with the kids on the ice. He skated, greeted, hugged and hung out with the kids, families and DJ’s from 95.7 The Party, our partner for the event. The Southlands ice rink is located right in the middle of the shopping center, right in front of the movie theatre. The rental skates looked really nice and I must say more comfortable looking than the old figure skates we learned it!

National Novel Writing Month

November is National Novel Writing Month, and I am participating in NanoWrimo – which is contest of sorts. The challenge is to write a 50,000 word novel during the month of November. And if 50,000 words sounds like a lot, that’s because it is.

And it’s daunting! It’s difficult! We are 3 weeks into this madcap adventure and I’ve been out of things to say since last week. I’m at just under 18,000 words which means I am behind the 8 ball. However, I have never written 18,000 words in a row before. Even if I don’t make it to 50,000 I have done something I never thought I would ever actually do.

Sure, I’ve dreamed about writing a novel – but the sheer magnitude of it always frightened me. I’m primarily a poet and a short story writer. I know now why I keep to those forms – novels are hard work!

This is an incredibly intense experience but I am so proud of myself for sticking with it. I have learned a lot about myself and my writing in the process. Even if I don’t reach that finish line, I’ve reached a very important personal goal: told a story on paper.

The New Kids On The Block

Inline Media is very excited to introduce the New Kids on The Block. First, our very happy Mom, Jennifer McCraw, brought in her new baby son Austin Thomas McCraw aka “ATM”. He is the cutest honorary member at Inline Media so far. He brings great experience in eating, sleeping and you know what! We are sad to say that Jennifer has decided to go independent so she can spend more time with her son. She will not be returning to InLine Media and we will surely miss her and all the hard work she brought to our team.

Our second new kid is Victoria Lindsay who packed up all she could fit in her Volkswagen and moved to Denver. She brought with her from Wisconsin experience in outdoor media buying and her great smile that greets us each morning. Victoria has a big task of assisting all of us here at InLine and making sure our office runs smoothly. She is a great addition to our family.

Having such great luck with the name Jennifer, we welcome Jennifer Sanchez to our team. Jennifer has great expertise in online Political media buying. She’s excited to be here (she did grow up in Kansas after all!) We are very lucky to have her and we are excited that she is now a member of our team.

'Keeping It Fresh"

“Keeping it Fresh”
Part of everyday’s experiences here at InLine is to keep things fresh, whether it is a new idea, or just thinking beyond what is the norm.

We have fresh new offices thanks to Bailey and Robbie who coordinated our move. Yes, we can still smell the fresh paint and our phones and computers are even working.

Our Website is currently being updated with new information and fun facts. We held a “Best Questions Contest” where each person would submit three top questions. The votes came in and we are very proud of our winner Robbie Folena. He now has a Snuggie to wear at the CU game.

Big Week!

It’s a big week here at InLine! We aren’t just planning for Holiday, 4th Quarter, and 2010 media. The 10 of us are packing up our desks and moving! We aren’t moving far, a mere two floors to number 7. We began construction on Suite 700 about 2 months ago. We removed walls, built work stations, created a new conference room and gave the suite new floors, carpet and a pretty bold paint job! Robbie & I snuck up there this morning and the final carpets were being laid in. Friday, Grabels will arrive and take our (hopefully cleaned out and reduced) belongs up to their new homes. Please note that Friday, the InLine offices will be closed with very minimal access to our emails as servers need to be moved and relocated as well. Additionally, our phones will be down most of the day as well. InLine will be back up and running Monday morning, we promise! Nancy returns from a week of vacation on Tuesday and we have promised her a new, organized and fully functional office upon her return! She should be right at home as InLine opened its doors in Suite 700! Back to where it all began! Scott’s packing as I type this as he’s out of here tomorrow for his Wedding! Congratulations to he and Adrienne! Oh and Chris Ex married Wally after 9 years of dating and became Chris Ouellet last week! Told you it was a big week around here!

Flash Mob!

Seemingly spontaneous aerobics astounded lunch-goers across the state yesterday when flash mobs broke out at 12:10 p.m. on the streets of Denver, Greeley and Grand Junction. More than 100 flash mobbers exercised their enthusiasm for healthy eating and active living in each city when they suddenly disrobed to display retro, 1980s-inspired workout gear and performed a coordinated aerobics routine. Several of us participated in the Denver mob; try and spot us!
