Joel Holland (Footage Firm)
Ben Lerer (Thrillist)
Lin Maio (Tatto Media)
Dan Melinger (Socialight)
Cristina Miller (Store Adore)

Elliott Bisnow did a great job putting this together, and he’s posted a few photos.
Ryan Allis, CEO of online communications giant iContact, has a nice write up here: http://www.ryanallis.com/blog/archives/000320.html (I should also add, that we’ve been using iContact for another venture, DetentionSlip.org, and it’s been working great)

Don’t miss the summer’s sexiest party! CreditCovers is putting the finishing touches on its first ever Lingerie & Pajama Party on Aug. 23 at the High Noon Saloon in Madison, WI. The event is a fund raiser for the local St. Vincent de Paul store. Party goers receive $3 off admission if they remove their street clothes at the door, then donate them to St. Vinnie’s.
CreditCovers’ Series #2 is nearly complete. CreditCovers inventor Anthony David Adams is preparing to ship the series, with designs by skateboard artist Todd Francis and Marc by Marc Jacobs designer Mathew Langille, off to the manufacturer, located here in Wisconsin. Look for Series #2 later this month.
Also watch out for CreditCovers this month in AM New York’s travel accessory supplement.
Thanks for supporting the CreditCovers revolution!
Seriously. Everytime I use my debit card it is like a commercial for credit covers… usually goes something like this: (I hand my card to the cashier. Cashier pauses with confused look on his/her face, swipes my card and says…) Cashier: “Is this some sort of protector for your card?” Me: “Its actually a CreditCover. My friend’s brother has this company and they created skins for your credit cards. There are so lots of cool designs, and more on the way. Check it out at creditcovers.com!” (Big toothy smile, thumbs-up) Cashier: Wow. That’s so cool.
And, yes, it does play out that lame in real-life. Congrats!
Had to share this with everyone, sent from NYC’s famous actress Kalynn Dodge… And Kalynn, I’d like to consider us friends 
CreditCovers artist Food One will be at the APE show this week in San Fransisco, CA. He’ll have a limited number of CreditCovers for distribution. Food One is so cool, when I gave our patent attorney a sample Mizz Lady Pink he said “Isn’t this Jim Mahfood, that comic book artist?”. Rad. So, if you’re on the left coast this weekend, check out Food One and APE, and if you’re on the right coast, be sure to hit up the Lit Lounge. Of course, if you’ve got private jet time, you might be able to hit up both.
CreditCovers is about to f*ck your heads up. We’ve locked down the Lit Lounge on Manhattan’s lower east side, Friday April 20th to cover the cards of NYC’s sexiest… Join us for a night of debauchery, punk rock, freebies, and the hottest people of whichever genders light your fire. COME GET COVERED!

CreditCovers dominated the LA scene in several locations… First, we went met up with Jim “Food One” Mahfood (www.40ozcomics.com) and handed over some hot-off-the-press creditcovers from Series One. Food One is responsible for Mizz Lady Pink and Rabbit Girl
A few days later, we covered a motley crew of LA’s finest at a sushi joint on Sunset Blvd.
More to come.. Expect some nonsense in the Midwest within a couple weeks, and we’ll be in NYC for 4/20.
CreditCovers covered a majority of the coolest people in SF’s credit cards Saturday night at our super secret party. Our friends at the Velvet Cantina provided ample libations and a mix of folks poured in eager to cover their cards.
“These are super addictive, now that I have one, I’ll have to buy five more.” - Bianca
