February 6, 2009 ASI Show Dallas: Day 2Filed under: The ASI Show The ASI Show Dallas, Day 2, picked up in the same place as Day 1 … from the portable ASI Radio studios at the Dallas Convention Center. For a half-hour immediately before exhibit booths opened, The ASI Internet Radio team warmed up the crowd and offered up some ideas for how distributors can thrive in 2009. At this morning’s keynote speech at ASI Dallas, author and business consultant Don Hutson shared his entrepreneurial experiences with an energetic audience. Hutson, co-author of The One Minute Entrepreneur, implored distributors in the crowd to have passion for their businesses and make sure to work harder and smarter this year. In a Power Session on the trade show floor ASI Dallas, David Fellman offered attendees ideas on how to expand their businesses from print and forms into the ad specialty market. Counselor caught up with Fellman immediately after his session to find out some ideas on how distributors can expand their businesses. Counselor was on the prowl this morning for the most unique and interesting items on the ASI Dallas show floor. Managing Editor Joe Haley even located a cooler-scooter. And finally, ASI’s Joe Haley interviews attendees at the conclusion of the ASI Show Dallas, 2009! Hope you enjoyed the coverage. Reporting remotely from Trevose, PA … –vicariousVIN

February 6, 2009 ASI Show Dallas: Party Time!Filed under: The ASI Show Well, I wouldn’t have believed it with my own eyes, but apparently ASICentral’s multi-talented designer/radio engineer/brewmeister Steve “Chinstrap” Hawk is also a hit on the dance floor! (Well, at least in his own mind.) In this video from the famed ASI Show Gala, held Thursday night at Eddie Deen’s Ranch in Dallas, not only does Chinstrap don the ASI TV mic like a seasoned television reporter, but he gets down like Diddy, Line Dance-style. Watch a video of the ‘Strap schmoozin’ the ladies while learning some southern dance moves. Yee-haw, go on with your big self, Steve-O!
And if that’s not enough party video for ya, Stay tuned for coverage from the official Day 2 of The ASI Show Dallas! Reporting remotely — and jealously – from Trevose, PA … –vicariousVIN

January 16, 2009 Goin’ South: Team Blog @ ASI Show OrlandoFiled under: The ASI Show WINGman NOTE: This is the first Team Blog post by Chinstrap. Show him some love. This year’s ASI Show Orlando marked the first first-ever remote broadcast of the ASI Internet Radio Show. Awesome, right?! Well, depends on who you ask. The superhero team of Lil Spice and I had the unenviable task of literally packing up the entire Pennsylvania-based studio and flying it to Florida for two broadcasts, then flying home and setting the studio back up for a third consecutive broadcast. Yes, you heard right. Our tight show schedule actually had us packing up the equipment right at the end of our Day 2 broadcast in Orlando, then flying back with it to our home base here in Trevose to set up for a radio show the following morning. Back-to-back-to-back is how we rolled, and I could think of a few adjectives better than “awesome” to describe the experience, but I digress. Takeoff So, how do you fly with all this radio equipment, you ask? The answer is with a huge, awkwardly shaped equipment case that, unfortunately for me, ended up outweighing Lil Spice, so the job of schlepping it through the state of Florida fell on my often-dislocated shoulders. But needless to say my limbs ended up staying in place and it’s safe to say that set-up went very smoothly.  A photo of me and the infamous case, as we arrived in Florida. Kudos to Spice for making it look like I have a palm tree growing out of my head.
 A cheery photo of Vanna Spice when we first arrived at the convention center Day 1 The first show started early Saturday morning amid a huge crowd of attendees. Highlights included a q/a session with David Blaise and of course the bikini models that handed out radio show pins to the crowd (don’t worry, I took photos). Day 2 The Radio show on day two was equally as exciting, just without the models. The stand out for me had to have been when Counselor’s own Dave Vagnoni gave 3 contestants a chance to deliver their best ‘escalator pitch’, which actually involved Dave running back up the escalator after every pitch, very amusing. Our show on Sunday also included a hilarious celebrity look-alike contest that was easily won by a Dick Cheaney clone. Breakin’ it down Overall the show was a blast and boy do I miss that weather. But here’s the best part, we are doing it all over in Dallas in a few weeks. It was lots of fun and I urge you and your celebrity look-alike friends to join us. I hope you enjoy the rest of these photos and I will see you in Dallas. SteVIN – aka ‘ChinStrap’  A Before shot of the radio show booth. Dont these chairs look comfy?  And here is the booth after we waved our magic wands.  A shot of the models before the show. Odd fact: Lil Spice forced me to take this one  random photo of the editors preparing before the first show.
