It's Official

Issue 1 of the 2008 LoonsNest, the official magazine of the Great Lakes Loons, is now out of my hands. The weekend was a bit of a scramble, especially the last 18 hours or so. Working closely with the team, we were getting together photos and bios for all of our likely players for the year, but we did not have the official list until 2AM. When I came in this morning, I had to assemble the last few players added to the roster, get everybody in order and get the last 12 pages put together. It's all in the hands of F.P. Horak now and they will, no doubt, do their usual stellar job.

The start of the 2008 season is now just three days away and I still have PLENTY of work ahead of me, but I can't begin to tell you how great it feels to have the program out of my hands. My next big priorities with the team are working on our first poster giveaway of the season, spending the day taking shots of the players on Wednesday, and then shooting the season opener.


Another nice moment in the past week was the launch party for Tri-City Brewing's newest offering, Loons Summer Ale. 989 Design developed the logo/look for Loons Summer Ale. At present, there are no plans to bottle Loons Summer Ale so the only place you will see our logo is on tap handles and signage at Dow Diamond and select establishments in the Tri-Cities.
