I’m not a fan of Stag. I’m a beer snob. But I understand the brand, at least, what it is these days. A cheap no-nonsense, don’t-give-a-shit beer, as in: it competes on price, not quality. Maybe the brand also has a little nostalgia, but that might be purely accidental....
Trailer for Amanda Doyle’s St. Louis Guidebo...
posted by Bill Streeter
I’ve always wanted to try my hand at a book trailer. So when Amanda Doyle reached out to me for ideas on how to promote her new Guidebook to St. Louis it was one of the things I suggested we do. It seems to have been effective. It got people buzzing about it and has reached the top of the local best seller lists. The trailer often gets included in blog posts and news sites when the book has been written about and has become a valuable part of her press kit....

In working on several St. Louis themed projects over the years I’ve often found myself in need of a good clean graphic of the official flag of the City of St. Louis. Unfortunately there are precious few of these graphics available around online. The ones that are available are low...

This is sort of a typophiles wet dream. An hour of radio dedicated to a discussion of Typography. One surprising take away is that the Coca-Cola logo is based on someone’s actual handwriting who was trained in a kind of penmanship called Spencer Writing. There is also an interview with...

via youtube.com I watched this movie recently. It started out with the idea that I would watch all of the Rolling Stones concert movies but I got sidetracked into watching the Maysles brothers films. I’m sorta taken with their work. Not just because it’s the infamous Stones at...

via youtube.com This is one of my favorite locally produced TV shows. This segment was from 1990. Mind you, this was on PUBLIC TV–not on commercial television and not public access–this was from the local PBS affiliate in Chicago; Channel 11. Now that I live in St. Louis...
