Looking for a new Pad

Back in the day Doug Adesko, Timothy Archibald and I all had reps. Doug had been with his for a while but Archibald and I had just signed with new reps. Tim's reps were a couple of women who started an agency called Tidepool.


Doug (on the phone to Tim) : How is Lilly Pad treating you?

TA: What?

DA: Lilly Pad. Didn;t you just sign with Lilly Pad or something?

TA; Tidepool. Not Lilly Pad.

DA: Same thing.

TA: Not Pad. Tidepool.


So of course, hours later, Archibald recounts this story to me and from that day four years ago a new word has entered the lexicon:

Pad :meaning agent.

As in:

Have you heard back from the Pad about that job?

Oh yeah I know Lars' work. Who is his Pad?

Here in SF, the retouchers have Pads. The stylists have pads. You are no one without a Pad.

why would it make you want to puke? I can only think that you have an agenda or you are responding to something else other than post about "the pad" ....
