Bacon. Beer. Awesomeness.
Within minutes that ticket sales for this year’s Bacon and Beer Festival went live online, they were sold out. I was fortunate enough to have a very dedicated food partner-in-crime (Ian) who diligently bought the tickets for both of us. As soon as Ian scored the coveted tickets, we were counting down the days until we could revel in a world exclusively dedicated to two of our favorite...

Friday afternoons were made for Text on the Beach
After a really long week of doing great client work, nothing hits the spot like a Text on the Beach. Thanks to our awesome Fun Committee for coming up with the perfect pick-me-up for a Friday afternoon.
Cheers friends!

Watching my dear Real Madrid at Text Boston.....
How cool it is to be watching Real Madrid’s Champions League semifinals game while at work???? Well, it doesn’t get any better than this. Text 100 is the coolest place to work for, no kidding. Actually, Text 100 has been named the Best Midsize Agency to Work For by the Holmes Report, two years in a row!!!! You can check out the announcement from earlier this week here.
Ok, coming back to...
Downtown Crossing: home of the most amazing...
Everyone who knows me, knows that I love to eat. A lot. And while all of my New York City friends will fight me on the fact that they *think* NYC cuisine trumps Boston, I beg to differ. As a Long Island, New York, transplant, I am quite familiar with NYC food. And while it is delicious, and there are significantly more restaurants per square foot in NYC, Boston can absolutely hold its own.

The Backstreet Boys turn 19. Wait, what?!
You didn’t read that headline wrong. Today celebrates the 19th anniversary of the founding of one of best-known (and my all-time favorite) boy bands. This milestone got me thinking about high school where there were countless debates on who was the cutest (Kevin, duh!) or if N*Sync or 98 degrees were better. However, the fact that the band is edging closer to 20 now, it really puts age and...
It's National High Five Day!
Yes, friends, National High Five Day is a real day. Aside from high fives being generally awesome every day of the year, this particular day is actually a great way of raising awareness to fight cancer. It’s also the perfect opportunity to give high fives to everyone you know.
Because we’re all about high five-ing at Text 100, we thought we’d share the most uncomfortable high...

Do you remember Crispy M&M’s? Crystal Clear Pepsi? Ecto Cooler? We love this post from BuzzFeed.com, tickling our tastebuds for nostalgia. The only problem is now we can’t satisfy our cravings for Uh-Oh Oreos or Orbitz. :-/

The Best Things About Boston (In My Humble...
Living in one of the nation’s oldest cities, you can become almost oblivious to the cool, fascinating things that are surrounding you every single day. Every morning, I make my way to work by the way of the Freedom Trail - I walk past the old South Meeting House (where the original tea party kicked off, circa 1773) and the birthplace of Benjamin Franklin (1 Milk St.) to get to my office....
No really, Patriots' Day is real.
Welcome to Patriots’ Day Monday. Otherwise known as “the day most of Text 100 Boston takes off and no one else across Text 100 North America quite understands why” day.
For you non-Bostonians, Patriots’ Day is a uniquely New England holiday that, technically speaking, celebrates the first battle of the Revolutionary War. In reality, it’s an excuse to have a few drinks before noon, attend the...
Our Reality TV Obsession (yours and mine)
Many people have many different views on reality television, (no pun intended) but I am reluctant to say that I absolutely love it! From the craziness of all the Kardashian shows and spin-offs, to the awful dialect and uncanny connection to my roots of Rhode Island (Pauly D) and my last name (Sorrentino, same as Mike “The Situation”) to Jersey Shore. After a long day at work I love turning on...
My Peep Obsession
Anyone who knows me will tell you, from time to time, I get a little obsessed with certain things. The Bachelor, Christmas lights, Cole Haan shoes, shiny objects…. Much to the disdain of my coworkers and loved ones, I will not shut up about it until my craving for whatever it is has been satisfied.
Timed appropriately with the coming weekend, this week, my obsession is Peeps. Everyone...
