Effective and Creative Advertising is heavy in Europe. When will ad agencies in the U.S. get smart and start thinking out the box?

So this past Thursday night we went to the Malibu Winter Beach Bash at the Mason Murer Museum in Buckhead. Dj Tayrok invited us to come out, and you know I don’t say no to an Open Bar!!! From the moment we walked in we thought, “this set up is fresh!” They turned the whole venue into a beach like atmosphere with palm trees, lifeguard towers, all the bars looked like Tiki huts, Etc. The crowd was extra stiff when we showed up, seemed to be a bunch of people who had day jobs, still had their work face on. So we went straight for the bar.

Throughout the venue in every lil corner there was a different bar which featured a different drink. We stopped at the Mango Mojito stand first. Hmmm… Real Smooth drink, notice hows theres no lines, there were so many different bars you didn’t have to wait, just walk up and grab a drink! Every club should be like this!

On the other side of the room they had this Virtual Volleyball thing set up. Its just a screen that looks like your on the beach, but your actually playing volleyball. Real fresh, shorty was losing when we snapped this pic.

This was the main bar, there were 7 different types of drinks to choose from, all had crazy names. I tried at least one of each during the night. The Green Monkey joint despite the name was actually aiiiiight.

It took us a minute but we finally found the food.

So during the night I walked around, tried every drink, chatted, found the food, snapped a couple pics and was trying to figure out who the hell the first Dj was. I think his name was Cisco Adler or something, BOOOOO!!! Son was wack, let me take that back, I wont see he was wack, I’ll just say he was in the wrong enviroment with the selection he chose to play. Maybe in LA at a Hipster party or in NY in Williamburg that would of been cool, But homie this is ATL! So finally with only like 30 mins before the event is shut down, Dj Tayrok jumps on the wheels and saves the day! From the time he jumped on the decks till closing time the place was rocking! Farnswerth Bentley (you know the Umbrella dude) was in the place, and played some of his so called new music (we heard that joint mad long ago! Shout to Happy from Hustle Im still waiting on that $).

I’ve never seen a bar you can sit and swing while you drink!

Like I said, we tried EVERY drink!!!

All in all, very good time, Thanks to Malibu for putting on this event, we need this joint like once a month round here.

Was it just me or were the Super Bowl Ad Spots kinda wack this year? I think I feel asleep on one joint.

Here are my favorites.

“It’s Mine” Produced by Wieden and Kennedy. Before I knew W+K did this commercial I loved it, I think its crazy ironic that I end up loving everything W+K touches. If your not hip, their the Advertising / Marketing Arm for Nike. They did all those Jordan + Mars Blackmon (Spike Lee) Spots in the 80′s / 90′s.

The homie Charlie Brown hasn’t won anything in like 40 years, so it was a good look for him to come up on that Coke. Kind of symbolic, cause it seems like the Giants haven’t won anything in like 40 years either (Not True, they were a beast in the LT days).

If you missed it check it out here.

This was my second favorite joint, Ohhhhh Look at the Legs!!! Plus its also the 25th Anniversary of Thriller.

“Thrillicious”

These have to the funniest commericials I’ve seen in a long time. G4 TV is running these new Ad spots with a animated Star Trek cast. One of the first things you might notice is Charlie Murphy playing the voice of Spock. Theres a whole series on these commerials, I posted two for your enjoyment.
