Powerhouse Takes Manhattan

The Powerhouse sales triumvirate recently returned from a trip to NYC where they spent several days meeting with various ad agencies and game studios-- evangelizing the good word of capitalistic American animation and mesmerizing the city folk with their Texan charm.


While in town we also had a chance to check out some sites, including the massive Toys R Us in Times Square (which is totally a reasonable place for adults to go, I might add).


We also had a chance to take a stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge.


 And, as always, there was beer and french fries.


We had a great time and met lots of amazingly creative people, but we're glad to be back home! Thanks to the big apple for having us!

Check out some photos of the Powerhouse team celebrating the completion of a great project!
