Farewell, Pattaya. Thank you, Nat and crew, for being so helpful throughout my tour of jury duty. The trip from Pattaya to the Bangkok airport will take a couple of hours, so that will give me a chance to nap.

I have always loved “Miss Yuko Yamada looks for her first job,” since Dentsu featured it in its Asian advertising talk at Cannes. I am delighted to report it has won one of the only two golds awarded by the AdFest 2008 TV jury. The other gold went to Maxell’s Forever and Ever campaign. Both …
Read & Write in Paragon Department Store has a decent fountain pen section. Imagine my giddiness when I dropped by and found out they were on sale. I decided to pick up the Pelikan Shanghai and the Pelikan Piazza Navona. Part of the Cities series, the Shanghai is yellow and red with a warm pink …

going to be announced Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. Tomorrow evening, we’ll know the winners for Young Lotus, Film Craft, New Directors, and The Cup 2007. I look forward to the 11:00 am session, “A Practical Guide to Planet Japan: An Encyclopedia of Japanese Women.” Brian was kind enough to give me an extra freebie …
We, the valiant and (by now) cross-eyed members of the Press and Poster jury, began our work Sunday. It took us three days to go through more than 2,200 entries. Kind interns gave us hp iPaqs, where a custom-built program let us input in/out/abstain for every entry, and grade the finalists. The same kind interns …
