Last week Tim, Murray and myself, had a rapid fire visit to Boulder, Colorado. The home of Crocs , the Dushanbe Teahouse and the characters’ house from the “Mork & Mindy ” television show. This was my first visit inside the US of A and it blew all my misconceptions of the place away.

I spent a good amount of the time suffering from insomnia and lack of appetite, but my personal highlights from the Crocs bootcamp were:

“Its Toasted” - Tim “happy chappy” Chapman coined the phrase as part of the new TZ1 language for decision making.

Being The First “Adman” through US customs.

Rick Rolling (gangster style) through Boulder in the “Loredo” listening to the non stop 80’s channel.

Adventures to the Firewood Lot with the “trusty” navigator Navman.

Sharing a room with messy Murray in the semi-murderous underground bunker.

Embracing the most organic city in North America by eating goats cheese and the huge variety of mushrooms , at least once a day to smell my best.

Being interviewed by Barns and noble about our knowledge of books, and Tim stealing the show.

Celebrating my 26th birthday with the Crocs brithday bear.

Seeing the US B-team and meeting the friendly felluhs at Crocs.

Yet again, our creative team managed to express ourselves through interpretive dance and questionable dressing. Something we seem to excel at – maybe it should even become a prerequisite for new staff. They could present their ‘weeekend persona’ to the team at interview stage!? A good test of creative skills!

This occasion was in aid of Kim’s 40th birthday and the invite did mention ’80’s dress encouraged’ so we went all out. So did Kim, she was dressed to impress in a lovely jazz-a-jetics number! Not to be confused with the more modern term ‘aerobics’. I am sure she will kill me for posting such glamorous photos of her…

Brett definately would have won ‘the most excessive use of 80’s accessories’ had there been a category for it.

Zoner of the week, this week I am nominating KIMBO.

Why, cos she is is a mother of 3 “fiesty” red headed boys, if this isnt enough she is turning 20 x 2, shes having an 80’s party this weekend and she mentioned “totally” and “gnarly” in her invite (consecutively). Heres Kim looking relaxed after a few days away from her boys on TimeZoneSun.
