We sat down with ACD, Lu Chekowsky and her posse at Wieden. Lu is amazing, and had passed through the WK12 program herself back during it's beginning stages. The agency is actually busier than ever with some new projects, but which we are sworn to secrecy on not telling. They even have a little agency within an agency, that Keiji Ando works with.

The only thing cooler than being cool is not ice cold, it's 150 Varick, 7th flr. Kudos to Keiji!
At BBDO we interviewed full-time ECD, and part-time ass-kicking guitar slayer, Greg Hahn. Apart from already being intimidated by his numerous awards lining his office and seeing the 'It' and 'Buddy lee' work first-hand, my (Bill's) phone started acting up. Not cool Bill's phone.. Not cool at all. By now you would think the phone would be prepared after all these interviews, but no it would not behave itself. And no, I did not pick it up. But what was picked up was
Greg's custom Charvel Van Halen guitar
<== after our interview, and slay it he did. I might need to change the lens on the camera, and will have to put my face back together for the next interview. ta ta for now.
I've known Greg and his brother Jeff Hahn, for years. I went to OSU with these talented guys. Not only is Greg an amazing writer and a guitar God, Jeff Hahn is one of the best drummers I've seen. When Jeff and Greg played together, you could close your eyes and think you were at a Van Halen concert. These guys have so much talent in every creative outlet, it's almost unfair! Congrats, Greg!
