“I must be in the front row…”
Posted by timfrakes | Filed under Interesting Places, Sports, Tim Frakes Productions
So, my daughter, Emily gets Connor and I $20 Bulls tickets in the nose bleeds. At half time, a guy with a walkie-talkie taps me on the shoulder and asks if we want to sit courtside? "Sure!" So, off we go to watch Bulls get pounded in seats with a ticket price of $950 each! "I must be in the front row!"

RCC Congress 2010

RCC Congress 2010
Join myself and religion communicators from around the world here in Chicago, April 7-10, 2010, for a once-a-decade multi-faith forum of all levels of communicators of religion.
This extraordinary event brings together over 1,200 communications professionals to expand our experience and broaden our perspective on embracing change. Social change invites us to new ministries. Religious change invites us to new dialogue. Technological change entices us to new modes of reaching out
As communicators, we have ever advancing tools, but we also see a power shift in publishing: through tools such as blogs, everyone has a voice. How do we harness this power for the good of our organizations?

Obama Grant Park Rally From the Cheap Seats
Posted by timfrakes | Filed under Education, News, Tim Frakes Productions
With no ticket to the Obama Grant Park election rally, I made my way south along Michigan Avenue. At Congress Parkway, police barriers funneled non-ticket holders into the north end of Grant Park near the old Petrillo Music Shell.
