We had loads of green room fun last night at the filming of The Gruen Planet's second last show at the ABC in Sydney.

As if we were going to pass up the opportunity to hand Leo Burnett's CEO, Todd Sampson, our business card. After all we're always curious to see what people do with it... The great Todd Sampson did what most people do...
