"Last night at Casa Manana, the Fort Worth Chapter of the American Advertising Federation celebrated its 100th anniversary in fine style. The event was headlined by an amazing "how'd-they-pull-that-off" guest speaker: Matthew Weiner, the creator, producer, head writer, sometimes-director and general paterfamilias of AMC's highly acclaimed series, Mad Men. The creator of a great period television show about the ad business (who nonetheless insists "the show is not about advertising") was a perfect choice for such a gathering -- and I don't say that just because I'm already a huge fan of Mad Men. Weiner spoke for more than an hour and was relaxed, gregarious and candid. Although there was little that was new to a fan who has consumed a lot of Weiner interviews, it was a really comfortable and casual talk that belied the size of the venue."
“Matthew Weiner, creator of TV’s Mad Men, was approachable, personable, entertaining and inspirational. His appearance for our group will stand as one of the signature events in our history.”

"Matthew was absolutely terrific...warm, engaging, full of life. We all adored him and wouldn't hesitate to have him back. Thanks so much for all your work to make the program happen, and I look forward to working with you again in the near future."
