For the second year in a row we have had the honor of wrapping a RV for our friends at Music Saves Lives® and Monster Energy. Music Saves Lives® is the bridge between music, entertainment and important life-saving causes. We bring a simple concept; connect the music and entertainment, we all love, to a life saving community action. MSL has focused efforts on blood donation and the bone marrow registry, reaching out by sharing facts, educating and empowering. They educate about the importance of simple life saving actions they can participate in. These simple actions, like donating blood, running a blood drive, and registering for the marrow program to save those with leukemia, all connect back to the community.

As a recognized 501(c)3 organization they have grown from their home base in Southern California to a worldwide presence. They are still young, only having started in late 2005, but their growth has reached millions of students. Their goals are simple and their action is incredibly effective. “Saving Lives Has Never Sounded So Good™!”

Galster wins 5 out of his 6 races in the rain at High Plains Raceway

The weather was less than ideal this past weekend at High Plains Raceway which is located on the eastern plains of Colorado, an hour east of downtown Denver. After heaps of track prep to get the mud and standing water off the racing surface, the race weekend was underway with open practice sessions due to the lack of eager racers to get out on a cold, wet track. In a very quick manner Galster was able to put up some fast times in the open practice and topped the charts with the second fastest time, a 2:06.4, just behind one of the 1000cc riders that posted up a 2:05.9.

The first race of the weekend for Galster was the Middleweight Supersport class. The first start was red flagged due to a wet surface crash, with the rider going down right in front of Josh off the start. Once that was cleaned up, Galster was able to slot himself into 2^nd and paced the leader. At half race he made the pass for the lead and stretched out a gap to finish 1^st.

During Heavyweight Supersport he was positioned 3^rd on the grid and hung back check the track conditions since more rain had fallen. After two laps he had a good feel for what traction was like and made the pass under brakes to go from 3^rd to 1^st, where he stayed until crossing the finish line.

Sunday’s weather was more of the same, with rain and cool temps throughout the day. In the back-to-back qualifying sessions for Race of the Rockies GTO and GTU, he qualified 2^nd in Race of the Rockies GTO against the 1000cc riders. He was unable to get in a qualifying lap in the GTU before a red flag was brought out, caused by two riders going off at different parts of the track. Once back underway, Galster only had 7 minutes to put in a time to qualify for GTU. As more rain had dumped onto the track during the red flag, qualifying was 6 seconds off his GTO time, causing him to start the Race of the Rockies GTU race in 4^th.

In the Middleweight Superbike and Heavyweight Superbike races, Galster was able to jump into the lead and finish 1^st, with a healthy lead crossing the line in both races and a fastest time of a 2:04.4.

The Race of the Rockies GTU race was wet to start, but by the end of the race there was a definite dry line. His Dunlop rain tires held up well, and Josh secured another win. In the last race of the weekend for Galster, the Race of the Rockies GTO had a dry line, so he swapped to DOT tires and was part of a three-way battle for the lead, battling with a fellow Grandprix Motorsports rider before the race was cut short. Josh finished 3^rd in that race which capped a successful weekend.

Galster would like to thank Slednecks, Bluemedia, EDR, Grandprix Motorsports, Dunlop, Arai, California Superbike School, LeoVince, Bazzaz Performance, John Chadwick for photos, and Galster’s family and friends for their help despite splashing around in the rain all weekend.

We also received an honorable mention in the buses and trailers category for the Game Truck’s mobile gaming trailer.

bluemedia and FOX Sports Arizona team up and knock it out of the park.

blue continues to successfully produce dynamic creative for the Phoenix Light Rail.  Utilizing the HP Scitex Turbojet 8300, blue was able to reproduce awesome images of the Arizona Diamondbacks with unparalleled clarity and precise color matching, essential for the FOX Sports Arizona campaign.

“With the biggest and best two month span in our Arizona Diamondbacks 2010 telecast schedule coming up in June and July, we were looking to promote FOX Sports Arizona and FOXSportsArizona.com in an outdoor medium that would be seen by many people throughout the Valley” Brett Hansen, FOX Sports Arizona’s Director of Communications/Marketing told our design staff.

We knew that good enough was not going to be enough for this campaign.  The end result was a wrapped train that captured the excitement and electricity of the Diamondbacks and FOX Sports Arizona.

The client agreed.

“As always, bluemedia was the perfect company to deal with to help accomplish our goals”, echoed Hansen. “Working with bluemedia is a great experience. The personal attention they give – along with their creativity and professionalism – is why I choose to do business with bluemedia”.

blue wrapped fourteen 28′ Trailers and eight 32′ Trailers along with a Tanker to promote Circle K’s famous Thirst Buster.  With great creative and amazing reproduction, thousands of commuters will find themselves uncontrollably in need of a ginormous .79 cent ice cold Thirst Buster.

The OAAA/TAB Out of Home Media Conference & Marketing Expo was held at the JW Marriot Desert Ridge from May 2^nd to May 4^th and bluemedia was there in full force.  bluemedia was a major sponsor of the conference, branded all the hotel keycards for attendees and even rolled out the blue carpet for a VIP party at Blue Martini.

The mood at the conference was very optimistic and the light at the end of the tunnel appears to be shining brighter and brighter for the advertising community.  There was a definite sense of collaboration and momentum throughout the weekend.

The event was a huge success and reinforced bluemedia’s commitment to the outdoor market, quality service and of course a good time.

bluemedia was commissioned to design, print and install a 20′ table graphic in support of a very important meeting for our client Aramark. Everyone in their corporate office was extremely impressed with the quality and design of the finished product. Congrats to the blue team for another successful project in the books.
