If you’re even reading this it’s probably because you were already hook, lined, and sinkered by the musings of Underground*s own Lindsay Meisel – who has written a bunch and some of these thoughtful UA blog bites. And if you didn’t know yet, she’s sort of a big deal (in a very petite frame).

Well, I mean, it’s because of Lindsay that I have to look up words like hebdomadal.  When I first joined team UA, I profiled all the people here  (of course you do this type of recon too when you’re the newb). Lindsay is the first one in the office. She walks around in socks. She has the best, most colorful lunches (that she prepares herself) and ritualistically eats in the conference room where the light is more enormous than any other spot in the office but most importantly where she is away from the liquid crystal of her flat screen canvas where her work day word play happens as Underground* Ads Copywriter. “Lindsay is bar far, the most, no bullsh!t writer* I’ve worked with;*by rule, writers are full of it. she does drink a lot though”, describes John G., UA’s Artistic Director.

Underground* has gotten a lot of rad clients in the front lines of the  green //  climate // energy  discourse which makes Lindsay a whole person at her desk – the coalescence of things she is passionate about: words and environment. And very recently, Lindsay was featured as Breakthrough Institute‘s Fellow of the Month, where you can read more about her here.

Also, because it is her BIRTHDAY week, here’s a virtual version of Lindsay’s UA slam-book page =)

2) favorite veggie (right now): this is a tough one. i have so many. radish? watercress?

6) what you would be doing if it wasn’t copywriting @ underground: i don’t know, but it would involve words.

8 ) what color are you? …when i’m running i like to wear neon pink.

10) what did you have for lunch today (okay. okay. I selfishly wanted to know): i made vietnamese rice crepes over the weekend so it was some leftovers of that. they had shrimp, pork, daikon radish, and broccoli. and so much fish sauce! YUM.

:: happy birthday, ms. meisel! ::
