Slightly Non-AWP related, Mostly Awesome

jetsetterrealworldAs mentioned in the title, this has nothing to do with client work, CSS and design, the cool new Google street views, or the Ithaca Festival (which starts tonight!), so if you were looking for some any of that, I’m sorry to disappoint.

But I didn’t come empty handed, oh no.  Last night MTV aired “Reunited: Real World Vegas” and featured the Jetsetter (my band) song “Il S’en Va!”  But don’t worry if you missed it, you can watch/hear everything online, over at MTV’s site.

You’ll need Flash, and you’ll have to wait until the video timer hits 03:23, but it is there.  Enjoy!

(The) Ithaca (Festival) is Gorges!

New Ithaca Festival WebsiteI can tell by the ridiculous number of ladybugs getting in through my office window these days that Summer is just around the corner. And in Ithaca, the coming of Summer can only mean one thing: (that naked guy sunbathing in the gorge again?! No…) the Ithaca Festival!

One of America’s best homegrown arts festivals, the Ithaca Festival takes place each year on the first weekend after Memorial Day. A showcase for over 1,000 local musicians, ensembles, community groups, visual and performance artists, craftspeople, actors, dancers, storytellers, poets, and writers, the Ithaca Festival provides an extraordinary opportunity for family, friends, and visitors to celebrate our community.

Did you know that Ancient Wisdom and Ithaca Festival go way back? We designed their original website in 2003 and have been Festival sponsors (as well as website maintainers, t-shirt designers, etc.) every year since then. Ancient Wisdom loves the Ithaca Festival. And that is why we are so proud to announce the hot new site design we did for the Ithaca Festival’s 30th Anniversary celebration this year. Check it out!

tuffpup.comWe’ve all been enjoying the stories that our friend’s over at Tough Pups have been cranking out in their brand new blog: The Tough Pups Gazette. This is version 2.0 of the Gazette and it has already been nominated for some blog awards, go vote!

While the site uses the same technology as our very own Red Frog Blog (WordPress) it has been customized to fit their visual/functionality needs.

So go on over and check out what’s new in the Tough Pups Gazette. The latest story looks very promising.

Thanks pups.
