Austin Gorillas.
Part of my day job includes nonprofit research. And so I stumbled across this gem on Idealist from an Austin group:
“Since most people can’t make it to the jungles of Africa, we are pretending the jungles are in Austin, Texas. Keep your eyes open on January 21, 2012, when hundreds of people dressed as mountain gorillas will run through the streets of downtown Austin.”
Can someone confirm whether this happened? BECAUSE I NEED PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE THAT THIS HAPPENED.

Which came first - the product, or the guy trying to sell it to you?
After college, I took up copywriting. I knew I wanted to write, but wasn’t sure exactly whatI wanted to write, even if I had an inkling it had something to do with film or television. I took the first job I could get, because I am a fiercely independent 21st century lady and ain’t nobody gonna support me (if I wanted the watch you’re wearin’, I’ll buy it), and also I had bills to pay. This job was for a company that sold eco-friendly furniture online. This job required little more than database entry. Add in product info, give product a name, add name to speadsheet of other names, repeat. If I was lucky, I would rewrite and tweak tiny snippets of copy for each product, which actually requires writing. It was soul destroying. I gained weight. I fantasized about smashing fluorescent lighting in all offices, in an attempt to start an uprising. REJOICE, CUBICLE BROTHERS AND SISTERS! THERE IS REAL SUNLIGHT JUST TEN FEET OVER THIS WAY!
It wasn’t a total bust. I did gain a few good friends, and I learned a very valuable lesson: this lifestyle was not for me. I could not imagine going into an office everyday and continuing on this path, especially so close to where I grew up. So I packed my bags nine months later and moved to Los Angeles.
And what did I do, and have still being doing to some degree, since moving to Los Angeles? Copywriting - it’s now my bread and butter, and what helps me pay the bills so that I can pursue my real dream: writing and acting for television and film.
On last night’s Mad Mentitled “Lady Lazarus,” Don’s new Zou Bisou Bisou Megan decides she’s had enough, and makes the brave jump from future copywriter to future Broadway star. During her departure from SCDP, one of Peggy’s copywriting minions Stan remarks on why Megan Draper would want to leave the business. It’s all nail biting and sweat a
