Ad firm owners asking $10.5M for historic downtown property…Dolly Parton sauntered down its grand staircase in “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.”
**A few facts:
1. T3 had planned to sell this house long before their recent troubles started as they have the big cool brick building over on Lamar now.
2. As far as I know, the house was never an actual whorehouse before or since T3’s owning of it.
“T3 new york had layoffs today….affected most of the media dept.”

(Sorry to anyone who has ever been laid off from T3 or anywhere else for that matter.)
I really don’t like reporting on layoffs. I’ve been laid off and I’ve been fired. I also get anonymous tips and this blog is in the “business” of reporting what is happening in the ad world.
I got these tips today:
“Rumor has it that T3 is laying off 60 people today. That’s a lot. It’s probably your fault for posting those videos. ;)”
“T3 doing layoffs today. Not sure on a body count yet.”
“T3 body count at 5 so far. San Fran office getting hit harder, no word on it yet.”
‘T3 had yet another layoff today. Not sure if its a sign of an impending client leaving of what, but atleast 5 people for sure have gotten the axe from the Austin office and a decent chunk of the San Francisco office is no longer bringing in the cash for Gay Gaddis.
They received a 2 weeks severance deal and all remaining employees are said to have to take a paycut. I’m certain the paycut doesn’t apply to the favorites of the company, or the favored CEO herself. One would like to know if the famed $60K birthday bash will still be taking place in April?”
Gay Gaddis’ Quote in the Austin Business Journal:
“As 2009 budgets are reviewed, clients are cutting back and we are adjusting accordingly to meet their needs,” said Gay Gaddis, president and founder of T3, in a statement. “T3 is committed to helping our clients navigate this tough economy and help them get the most out of every dollar spent.”
I LOVE ANONYMOUS TIPSTERS!
This afternoon a kind person emailed me a copy of the “T3 Looks to the Future” video.
Yes, I now have a copy of the removed-from-YouTube video.
Do you want to see it? You’ll have to ask really nice like.
Here are some of my favorite scene stills:
