HEY ALL: Turns out a lot of people want to know what Baldo's all about! Earlier this month, we went to Miami for the 21st semi-annual conference of the Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies. They asked us to be on a panel to talk about "Latino character." We were happy to oblige.
Here are some photos from the event, courtesy of photographer Harvey Bilt, who was shooting for AHAA.
We met some cool people, including Carlo Olivares Paganoni (far right), who's working on the "Hijo del Santo" cartoon at the Cartoon Network, and visual artist David "LEBO" LeBatard (second from right).
Carlos (right) and panel moderator Luis Miguel Messianu of the ad agency del Rivero MessianuDDB look at each other. They didn't say anything. They just looked at each other for 10 minutes.
Everybody turns to look at Hector (center) after he farted on stage.
Carlos gives Hector a death stare after Hector accidentally tells the audience that Carlos was meeting his mistress at the hotel later that night.
Carlos took the time he had with high-powered ad executives to talk about how his pet dog craps on his living room carpet all the time.
Cardboard cutouts of Hector and Carlos were set up next to a cardboard cutout of Baldo and Gracie.

A big thanks to everyone at the Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies for having us! We had a blast. And we swear ... the hotel room we stayed in already had a hole in the wall when we checked in!
