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.
4)INCITE ATTENTION FROM ASSISTERS.
5)GET PRODUCT/MERCHANDISE.
6)PRICE ITEMS AND PHOTOGRAPH. PLACE PRODUCT ON SITE.
7)WRITE UP CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE. GET HANDOUTS.
8)TELL EVERY FRIEND YOU'VE EVER MADE ABOUT THE VENTURE.
9)CONTACT NON PROFITS YOU INTEND TO WORK WITH.
10)OPEN A SEPARATE PAYPAL ACCOUNT FOR DONATE BUTTON.
11)START MORE PRODUCTS. PLAN EVENTS.
12)GET A SPACE TO SERVE AS THE SHIPPING DEPARTMENT.
13)GET A GIRLFRIEND.

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.
