Summer is here, which can only mean one thing: it’s intern season. Using our deft trapping techniques (trade secrets, all), we’ve managed to ensnare two of them. Dionna Gary is a rising senior at Montclair State University (another great find from Debra, Nunz and Dre’s alma mater) and will be helping our design team. Shanteea Moore is a rising senior at Bloomfield Tech (yes, that’s high school) and will be occupying the front desk and helping around the office.

And of course we still have Lyanne Dubon, who just celebrated her high school graduation and is headed to the School of Visual Arts in the fall. And making the trip with her is her Coyne Family Foundation Award, only one of the most prestigious honors in the country for matriculating design students. These hyper-achievers make us think back to our high school days, when we spent most of our mental energy on acting slightly less than completely awkward. Welcome aboard!

As usual, BCDC is BUSY. Another day, another groundbreaking (break any more and this city’s going to start looking like it sits on San Andreas). This next installment in Newark’s future is The Continental at Ferry Street, a gorgeous residential and retail building due to be completed in Fall 2009. Joining us at the event were none other than Deputy Mayor Stefan Pryor , members of the Municipal Council and Mayor Cory Booker.

We also had the pleasure of meeting the site’s developers, Vision Downtown Urban Renewal, and its architect, Dean Marchetto Architects P.C. All of them are quality guys devoted to this city’s future and willing to walk the walk. This project is also Dean Marchetto’s first in Newark, a wonderful development. We love that this city keeps attracting more and more talented people. Newark will continue to thrive on the backs of capable people like BCDC, Mayor Cory, Dean Marchetto and Vision.

Ouch. It’s not easy to type when your hand is weary from signing autographs and covering Paparazzi lenses. But fame has come calling, and who are we to screen it?

You’ve probably guessed what we’re talking about by now, but we’ll tell you anyway: Tritonic was mentioned in NJ Bride, which is only “New Jersey’s Premier Bridal Magazine.”

For some reason, the article dwells on mundane side details (our friends’ Elka and Brian’s nationally televised wedding where hit comic Kathy Griffin served as their minister) before reaching the real crux: a one-sentence spread about Tritonic designing the invitations.

Okay, so the article is really about Elka and Brian’s awesome ceremony. We were excited to be involved in the wedding, and now we’re excited to get a nod in the well-deserved coverage. And if we’re not famous enough already, you can turn on Bravo this Thursday, July 10, at 10 p.m. to see the wedding (and possibly us) on “Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List.” Feel free to congratulate us. We’ll be in our trailer.
