I thought this had a great visual message of pushing forward. There always seems to be a way to get past what you've got in front of you.

Over the course of the past few weeks Alisha Jucevic, Luke Hausman, and I have been working with Perk Espresso shop in Eugene, OR. to create a brand experience that would focus on the collaborative and creative brand they had built up already.

The middle aged stranger - Crazy weather huh?
You - Yeah (comment about a day that was way better)
The middle aged stranger - Oh yeah this place is usually a lot better

The 20 something - You mind if i smoke?
You - meh
The 20 something - Dude this day is so Fu**ing epic!
You- yeah
The 20 something - (yells off the lift)
You - (either join in or stop talking to them)

You- hows the snow?
That awkward kid - (silent)
You - You from around here?
That awkward kid- (silent)
You - (give up)

_The Copyright Act of 1976 Is about to expire. This act entitled record labels to copywriters of artists songs for 35 years for any songs made after 1978 which means next year artists will begin to be able to reclaim the rights to their songs.

It will be a major eye opener to copy write laws.
