A lot of people seem to be leaving Lifelounge in recent times. Something stinks me thinks.
Dear Dan, you are one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. A truly multi-faceted creative person and a great dude to match. A rare breed indeed. I wish you all success on your new projects and no doubt soon an agency deserving of your talents will snare, lure, snatch or acquire you. Keep kicking against the pricks, Key-Unts and He-oars.
Your friend always,
ColombianDave

Is whatzisname still there?
…Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got
Till it’s gone
They wrecked paradise
And put up a parking lot…
ColombianDave, maybe send an email next time?
Kicking against the pricks is a great Nick Cave album.
Emails are so 1995.
