alex in a suit

Had a big presentation today... it made the news.  [edit: there's a really annoying commercial for the first 30 seconds.  I recommend the mute button.]




I know, it sounds terrible, replacing the iconic wood with plastic.  But it's not plasticky, it's actually pretty woodlike, and it's even 100% recycled.  What it comes down to is there really isn't any other material out there that will work without destroying rainforests.  Believe me, we have tried everything.

The main thing for me was that nobody threw tomatoes at my new tie, which I have now officially designated as a Good Luck Tie.

We have been following this story in the NY Times, in fact we read the update today, and were glad to know you hadn't been tarred and feathered at the meeting. Actually I think that tie was the whole reason they approved the plan. You could have said you were building it out of toothpicks and with that tie, they would have said yes. But way to go, Al--yet again you have survived an angry NY mob. Logic, reason, and fantastic design win again!

Way to go AL! You look so Dapper Dan in that spiffy suit. The tie! Woah. :)

Yeah Al!!!!! Does the tie kindof have the same pattern as the boardwalk? Almost looks like it. I'm so glad you won! Team Hart: 100 points, Team Lame-o Complainers: 0 points.

Who's the guy in the hairnet? Nice tie. In an unusual turn of events, reason and good management win over hysteria and crybabyness.

Great job Alex...Am I the only one that calls you Alex??? Where have I been? A little slow???
I noticed the parachute structure in the background...my mother always parked our blanket right in front of the parachute so we could find her among the crowds of people at Coney Island!! I am happy there will still be a boardwalk...and without splinters!! Keep going to improve NYC! Nice suit too! Mom-in-law Marge
