Red Bull Really Does Gives You Wings

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Event marketing is growing as we continue to fast forward the commercials. Red Bull has taken on this approach in a exciting and creative way. They create environments that are so fun you choose to enter into them instead of having it forced upon you. They host Art Shows, Breakdance Music competitions, Extreme Sports events and many others.
One of my favorites is the Red Bull Air Races. Watch the two videos and check out the pictures below to see what I mean.

Another cool thing they sponsor is B.A.S.E. jumping.

Another favorite is the dance competitions. I was able to go to one held in Minneapolis and really enjoyed myself. You can view the photos I took at the event on flickr.

A New Minneapolis

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

In the next 7 years or so, Minneapolis is going to spend a chunk of change on new stadiums and transportation. After painful construction, legislation, and probably a few years of delays, this city will look pretty awesome. Being a big fan of conceptual drawing and architecture, I gathered a bunch of photos of the city to be.

Also my friend Dan “Da-Man” Ficker wrote a sweet post about the Mall of America Expansion.

Here is what the Gopher stadium and hopeful extension of the Minneapolis Light Rail (The Central Corridor) will look like. There is talk that the rail will have a station under Coffman Memorial Union and tunnel under the U of M campus. It then would come up near the new stadium, but budget cuts might force them to build around campus. MPR says the design won’t be finalized for 2 years.
