Careers in advertising are long and hard. (That’s what she said.) To coincide with this year’s 3% Conference, we launched thatswhat3said.com, a place where women in advertising can give advice to female creatives who are just starting out. Submit your wisdom, warning, and legends and spread the word to other women with knowledge to drop.

Two women walk into a private bar on their tenth D/C anniversaries, one’s into German stuff, other’s into Tiki...
Shocking twist on Game of Thrones last night.
Big congratulations to two members of Production at D/C, Eric Kozak and Jackie Brito who both adopted dogs at Berkeley Humane this past weekend. Looks like a couple of great pups!
We're implementing a new Chair Sharing program here at D/C. We believe it helps foster collaboration.

We’ve been rather quiet here in Tumblr Land (Lnd?), but that’s because we’ve been busy revamping our agency website. And today – ta-da – we finally get to launch it. So we want to point out to the world a few cool things (because the world has an unfortunate tendency to not pay near enough attention to agency websites).
1. It’s responsive. In other words (for non-website-makers), it works seamlessly across smartphones, tablets and those things with keyboards that aren’t synthesizers.
2. It’s got lots of pictures. Many more than the previous one. Because they say pictures are better on the web than words. But who are “they” anyway?
3. It’s got case studies!!! OK, that sounds more boring than it is (even with the exclamations).
And with that, we’ve probably stretched this shameless self-promo as far as it should go.
23 years and it's all been leading to this: Rolling Stone today certified our private penthouse speakeasy, The Tip, as a "Venue that Rocks." Ornate expressions of gratitude to RS. And to our rockin' partners at StubHub.
Go see this non-secret event about secret events
If you're in San Francisco tomorrow and are interested in interactive theater, urban exploration, or peeks-behind-curtains, have we got an event recommendation for you:
Presentation and Chat with Code Red
Tuesday, September 10, 6:30 PM
The Go Game HQ , 400 Treat Ave (Suite F), San Francisco
Join us for our most clandestine speakers yet, Albert, Joe, Joseph and Phil from CODE RED (working title). The group has just wrapped their 10th performance of immersive trespass theater in abandoned, forbidden, dangerous, and altogether daring locations, including a church, hedge maze, train station, theater, Nike missile base. Their performances build complex immersive narrative worlds amidst and in conversation with stunning real-world environments.
Worst. Spies. Ever: The Sweet Cheat Gone
You may have noticed a certain recurring interest from me for various forms of adventure design and interactive shenanigans (and that's without even mentioning the sekrat thing in Oakland last month.) What can I say? Perhaps it's a reaction against the relentless digitalization nowhere stronger than in this city, perhaps it's the excitement of putting another layer of reality on top of the everyday. Whatever the reason, there's something burgeoning here among the corners of game design, theater, and art.
So it was that I was standing in the Castro Safeway on Saturday night in a three piece suit and an eyepatch, with a cart full of bizarre consumer items for teams of detectives to sort through for enemy transmissions in the ingredient lists. This was the Sweet Cheat Gone, and it was beautiful chaos.
I rode across the new Bay Bridge and LIVED!!!
An overly cautious driver listening to KOIT soft rock – that was my driver for this morning's trip across the new Bay Bridge. It's always a crap shoot in casual carpool – sometimes you get your mom, sometimes you get a guy who has to blow in a breathalyzer every 10 minutes. And it was a nice loooong commute. I got to hear Adele AND Simple Minds – I'll let you guess which one made me stifle a sing-a-long. So many excited people were checking out the span, my 45-minute commute spanned 1.5 hours. And judging by all the semis lined up, it looks like SF was starved for lumber and artisanal cheese the five days the bridge was shut.
Anyway. The new bridge. I'm a fan. It's spacious and didn't feel crowded, even at capacity. The suspension wires leading up to the central support spire make you feel like you've entered a car cathedral. I want to spend time there instead of just passing through. The views are epic, and once the old bridge is removed, they will be even better. I was surprised my carpool companions weren't more fired up. In true casual carpool fashion, they were quiet as church mice. Some things never change.

Montreal, Paris, New York and now San Francisco -- Bay Area Bike Share goes live today at noon!
Seems like these docking stations appeared overnight, but now with these shiny new bikes attached, you can't miss them -- they are everywhere up and down the peninsula (we can see this one at Market and Battery from our office). Makes me want to get a D/C lunchtime bike posse rolling.
Sign up to become a Bike Share member at bayareabikeshare.com.
VICE: pretty soon you're talking about real money
In case you missed it, Rupert Murdoch purchased 5% of VICE, whose VICE Russia unit is a client of D/C. But ponder this: VICE + Fox. And now ponder that VICE, the media company started in 1994 in Canada as a free rag, partly funded by the government, called the Voice of Montreal is now valued at $1.4 billion.

Today, we are happy to announce that we will be introducing a new Yahoo! logo next month.
Over the past year, there’s been a renewed sense of purpose and progress at Yahoo!, and we want everything we do to reflect this spirit of innovation. While the...
This morning, Yahoo! announced they are unveiling a new logo next month. And to build anticipation – or maybe confusion – they are posting a new design every day for 30 days on their Tumblr.
They don't come right out and say it, but I suspect they may be using us all as a focus group. Considering how startled we get at any kind of tweak to digital spaces we have grown accustomed to, I can see why they might want to try this. While it certainly could be seen as an inability to commit to a design decision, they are also in such a precarious position with their brand perception right now that picking a logo the general public hates could make life even more difficult for them.
And it does actually build anticipation. Well, for nerds like me, at least. Today's inaugural logo left most people I talked to feeling a bit meh, but the video they also released shows a sneak peek at some of the others we might see this month. I suppose time will tell how extensive the overhaul will be, but for now, I'm interested enough to keep checking back.
What with Sephora and a still-secret project, we've been especially busy here at D/C, so we haven't had time to prepare a proper post for the internets. Instead we offer this video of a cat singing Daft Punk's catchy new summer jam, Get Lucky.
And if you prefer your cat dance music a little more underground, might we suggest the delightful Catford by Mr. Mitch. Paw taps to James Brown for the link.
#KenWearingLadiesAccessories
It started with a small, innocuous act when our ACD Ken Hall playfully put on our new receptionist's sunglasses at lunch one day. What we didn't expect was that Ken Hall would look better in our accessories than we do.
Follow this very important project as it develops on Instagram.

Taking peeing outdoors to another level.
I've always kind of had a thing for peeing outdoors. Truth be told, "the urge" only hits me when I am backpacking and can find a killer view obscured from passers-by. This project, however, might be a little too exposed for my tastes.
The PPlanter is a street urinal project currently being tested in the Tenderloin. It is scaleable, reconfigurable and has the added bonus of biofilters that treat the wastewater for use in the planters that surround the installation. Dare I say the plants really tie the room together?
While this test is aimed at stemming the flood of public urination in the 'Loin, you might see them popping up at your nearby beer gardens or parks. And think of the amazing branding opportunities that await an advertiser willing to expose themselves to some risk.
If you are not pee-shy like me, you can try it yourself for the next two days between Jones and Taylor on Ellis Street.

Big lump
Hard not to mist up in front of the wonderful new doc, Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me, about the '70s cult band, which has its SF premiere Friday at the Roxie. But if the band and most of its players, are gone, the music is still there and still gorgeous. That's the word, too. Shimmering, yearning post-Beatles, post-Byrds guitar rock with an added complexity -- jazz-ish chords that don't quite resolve, melodies that don't take the expected turn -- marking it as music of the next cycle. There are three albums and a box, along with solos and bootlegs, to wallow in, if the movie moves you, which it will. Anyway, doc includes 28 photos by the Tip's resident photog (and founding D/C AD) Roni Hoffman, a friend of Big Star's biggest star Alex Chilton and there when the original lineup played their only gig at the infamous Rock Writers Convention. Can't make the Roxie, try On-Demand. Don't know Big Star, you're welcome.
