Oui, Snacton Pupus. Snacton High Divinity.

All Snacton Boars!

After designing the Snacton Pies, i thought i whould start strengthening the connection between the name SNACTON and the uses for the word. The next work might be "Don't Get Snacton". Might not! Not much to report. Saturday in Vegas.

Domino's up and down. Building the bigness.

Putting this soft launch together is like snapping together some Legos. We put all of the parts into place and then stand back and watch the reactions of the passersby. With the merchandise/philanthropy business there are quite a few more moving parts. Not necessarily in this order. There is the design of the logo to start.
2)SECURE URL AND DESIGN WEBSITE.
3)WRITE-UPS GET SOME DIALOGUE ON THE WEB.

7,200 Google search results, up from 7.2

Hashing out the logo is going super quick. Even though today's drafts look nothing like yesterday's, our emails are chopping and hewing down to something we can use in 2 days. I just wish we were in the same room with some tea, crumpets, Bailey"s and fixins. When i did today's Google search i found all kinds of Snacton entries from the very beginning. Youtube, TigWeb, Blogger, and even some comments i had never seen. Twitter is on my facebook and Taking IT Global has twitter feeds or something. Twitter followers are 113 already and i can feel the transmogrification begin. The tat artiste i met at community service will do some stencil work and we can throw some glitter on the glow paint.

Jeff J over in Thailand will be the first international photo on the website. It's SNACT ON Now!!

Ambercrobbie and Finch. The Hollister Story. Zooo Yoke.

Lifestyle brands are big business. Many of the larger companies are on over a billion in sales. Aeropostale is doing 4+Billions. Hollister is opening stores anywhere it wants. Expensive stores. Hollister is owned by AandFitch and Zooyork is an Ecko owned brand. I have now idea what a company like Snacton would morph into but it would be cooler than anything out there because each design has the goal of making the world better. Grow the brand and make an impact and help the fan base to grow into better and more mature consumers.
The Hollister story is fiction and it goes like this: In the 20's young Hollister decides not to go into papa's business and goes to the west indies to purchase a rubber plantation. He marries the plantation partners daughter after traveling the seas in a 50 foot sailboat for two years. They land in LA and have kids in the 40's. They start importing tropical goods and then in the 60's one of the kids starts the surf clothing and beach lifestyle image of the company. All made up to build an affinity to the 50's/60's upperclass beach comber types looking to represent that look and image. In reality Hollister is less than 10 years old. Every company has a story. 

Three days offal. Nude erection.

No response yet from the mysterious Juan Carlos Torres. Silly wascal. Not one to dwell on deserters (ok, i dwell) i just spoke with Nonnie over at LAB Grafix, the design crew from SeaTown and she enjoys helping entrepreneurs get afloat. She too likes mydea. Who wouldn't. Snacton can ~ throw parties, sponsor some fish at a hatchery, brew a vat of stout and re-purpose the wort for artisan naan production, dig a 90 foot hole, shoot clients up into the air with a rubber rope and have them deploy a parachute from 300 feet, video tube a date night and follow up, have a race team in the Brixton 1000, present the Food Truck Hamboree, uild a fort village in the woods, start a tea business, propose Homefree Projects across the world, found the Cook, Clink and Think movement, design the Tower of Power installment, initiate a 50 Instillation "Put Hope in the Hole" Public PhilanthropArt program, make ice cream, open a mobile charcuterie school, build a giant rubber raft and go out to sea and lastly, do whatever we want. She will do a google search on the concept and she what she comes up with.

I have had 3 days off and i think i like the respite.

Welcome little Sophie Davis: 4lbs 11oz.

So Jen Day squirted out a little kitty today and got sweet perfection, just like we knew she would. Nice production Jen. Speakin o which, get back to work, damnit, them cottons ain't gonna pick themselves.

Suspender police. Grown up media team.

My twittoris account got cuffed on account of i was doing a Fred Willard finger on the follow button at Starnuckles for over an hour. By the time i was ready to split i had invited 800 plus strangers to join me. The tweet bastards that run stuff thought i should be punished for being such a slobbering slut, so i was made to stand outside the chicken ranch naked as a Jaybird and overly aPOLLOgetic. SORRY!! Sorry but you made me do it. Sorry but i don't know how to play the game. Mocking the birds i gave, they mocked and defrocked an entire flock behind me. They must do it everyday. Perhaps i will re-enter the pecking order on flyday.
My Craigs list advert. got some ten responses. One that i liked was at www.wearelabmedia.com from Henderson and it seems as though they are above my station enough to consider. They look expensive yet expansive and they mentioned guerrillas in the markets. I think they are from Seattle because of the Columbia City Theater account. Will call soon.

New begins. Tweet Life.

It's been 8 days since Juan the designer has spoken with me. WTF!! His phone has broken so he can only text and i think he cant receive texts. Something like that. Still he could/should call me or email me. He still hasn't sent any design drafts. I hope he isn't one of the flaky ones. 8 days is too many though. I have sent him designs, verbiage, texts, phone messages and emails to no avail. I need some feedback and support. I have $270 for him and this is not a good time for him to lose ground with someone who he is trying to get business from. It's so easy to reach out and string someone along. F!

Spoke to the ex today. 

Worked everyday since the 28th. Ughhh!

Raining into the Rizide. Not too bad. 

The speed friending meetup has 36 people signed up to meet. We should have our meeting this next week. I suggested a place and time so as to get the balls rolling. I need a friend or three to help me with the bigness. Last chance to stay positive. Looking for a cliff over a low tide with one decent sized rock to land on so the crabs can eat me for a change. The higher the better !(

Starting to tweet again. Can't quit the twit.

Twitter twits biggest hits. Dude, wheres my designer?

Back at the twitter finger game. At a mere 140 character spaces the thought must be concise and direct. Having read many tweets without enough runway space to take off, i do the pile on system and just do numerous entries. I'm a righter, damnit!! I was pleasantly surprised to find that i have 15 followers already and i only have 15 tweets posted. Since the idea is to have as many tweekers following as possible you must follow as many as you can. I know it seems strange but that is the way the world is now. Just stay up all night and press "follow" even though there is nothing about following involved. The system demands that you follow, not tweet. There are tweetstars that have only written a few times and only follow a couple sites and yet they have thousands of followers. Some have as many followers as followees and others have only followers and never click follow. How can that be? When i get my smart phone and some designs for sale on the internet i'll be THE tweekster xcited to get out 360 characters in 5 minutes 4 times a day and three times a night.

My designer is a no show for the past 10 odd days. What a deflater. I was super jazzed to see the site up and unfortunately i told others that i was onto something big. Now i am emBareAssed again. Why me? Well there are 2wenty better companies in Vegas that would be happy to be my lead graphics designers. I just feel gut punched is all.

Web site looking best. Design finalization and script additions.

I went and met with Juan and he showed me what he came up with for www.Snacton.com and I LIKE IT!! He has such a good eyedea of whats cool. We rough drafted 6 designs for a start and we initiated the godaddy hosting process. He has shipping container of white tees of all types so we decided to do the first run with dark inks. I sent him some wording for filler and we meet again on Monday. NOICE!! The designs included tacos, zombies, cards/poker, route 66, discoteque, 18 wheelers, aliens, Vegas and some other stuff. More of the same later. Next is final approval, Paypal, links, color selection, separation, screen burning and printing. These designs will be multi-purpose so paper or fabric choices will have to take place soon. Songwriters: RIDDLE, NELSON

If you ever plan to motor west,
Travel my way, take the highway that is best.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

It winds from chicago to la,
More than two thousand miles all the way.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/n/nat+king+cole/route+66_20098085.html ]
Now you go through saint looey
Joplin, missouri,
And oklahoma city is mighty pretty.
You see amarillo,
Gallup, new mexico,
Flagstaff, arizona.
Don't forget winona,
Kingman, barstow, san bernandino.

Won't you get hip to this timely tip:
When you make that california trip
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

Solo

Won't you get hip to this timely tip:
When you make that california trip
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six. 

Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

Dimon, Aegis, Prince and Maddof. Crimes against the status.

I'll try again to make a success of myself. As i was telling Charlotte, i'm not myself if i don't try to get successful. I have learned that i can't do anything alone so soon i will have to try and make some efforts to get a few locals interested in building the infrastructure and spreading the biz globally. I can go to the post office twice a day, finalize designs, answer emails, blog, clean the office, feed the pets, garden and think. Others will have to be the face of the company and inspire me to get busy. Since people hate me, i'll be happy to stay in the shadows as the ghost CEO. The silent COO. The Hidden Founder. The Mad Progenitor. One of these times i will have to give up entirely and relinquish myself to a life of relative mediocrity or an existence of unrequited irrelevance, unreconciled. I do have what it takes to get heard though.
It rained today and so i must get to Parvati and make sure she is water tight.
It's July 4 and so i go to see the show.

Hooded, sleeveless wife beaters with a phone pocket.

I just deposited all of my cash and chex into the bank. I now have a good $1500 expendable for the website, products, designs and a nice pair of dress slax. That would leave me with $1300 bux for brakes, smog, Rizide work and a prime rib dinner to go. It's nice to have money but it's not funny without honey. I received an email from Juan saying that he has an idea for the idea. I can't wait. I have to choose an official Logo to copy right? For perpetuity.The font we chose was a bold one named Raven Slab. I decided that this would be too masculine for the masses. Something more hermaphroditic would sell better. Also when the main font is too bold, butterflies and kittens don't match well with it. Just something in a medium please.

Labor forces.

Where are the blacks working these days. I mean the American blacks. When in Hong Kong the Nepalese were the imported labor force. Thousands of Nepalese could come over and work/save and perhaps stay on to do the next job. Here in Vegas, Somalis, Ethiopians, Mexicans and Slavics are driving the cabs and Pacific Islanders, Mexicans and Philippine nationals are hard at work in the casinos, construction and landscaping etc. fields. Where are the African Americans, of which there at least 20% in the population, making their money?

Snacton.com is being set up tonight. The designer, Juan Carlos, is quite into the concept and gets the basic gist of umbrella company, design centric, action philanthropy and social network idea combining to help worlds. He has been doing design for many years, is from Silicon Valley, has a big shop in Santa Cruz and a small one here in Vegas, does good work for cheap and is a cool dude that lives in Veer Tower East at City Center. Getting closer to the ideal.
