The Media Gang is a roster of several
hundred retired and veteran (20 or more active years) members of the
Boston and New England media, arts, and related fields. We get together
twice a year for Nostalgia Lunches. They're
held during the day out of respect for aging eyes which are more
comfortable driving during daylight hours.
On the roster are not just talent but men and women from all levels in all
of the firms — ranging from owners/managers to the most menial of jobs.
Since all were responsible for the success of each company, all
participate in this
well-attended and highly enjoyable project.
Other career fields included are PR/Marketing/Publicity, plus the
advertising and production communities. You'll find voiceover artists, stage and
on-camera actors, producers, writers, DJs, talk hosts, writers, stenos,
folks from all the technical areas of all the businesses, mingling with
sales people, managers — the whole ball of wax.
The war stories flow at each table, of course. That's what it's all about.
And everyone learns who's there from Jordan Rich's walk-around following
lunch — he has a wireless mike and each participant gets introduced and
has
a chance to say hello.
These wonderful, fun-filled events are priced reasonably so all can afford to come, and are at suburban
function halls where parking is free and plentiful.
If your background in these fields includes Boston/New England, provide a
snail mail address for the next mailings and, if you're interested, you'll
learn more about The Media Gang that way.
