Networking
I paid a whopping $10 to attend an Alumni Networking event last night, and it was fabulous. I will go every time they have one of these things.
SECONDS after I walked in I had 2 new friends, Erik and Holly. In fact, Erik thought Holly and I knew each other. Everyone was SO friendly at this thing!
I obtained about 30 business cards, and passed out more than that. I bumped into a girl I knew from middle school, and two friends of a co-workers.
They had free drinks, and food, although I had diet sierra mist and a water. The food looked amazing, but I was too busy working the room!
By the night's end I had booked a wedding gig, been invited to a party, offered to trade web links with a guy, and met tons of new people.
What a good time! And I would fly solo next time. It's an excellent opportunity for SINGLES networking too. ;)

Solo? What happened to the new guy?
It occurs to me that there may be too many stories about guys since I don't know which one you're talking about. Oops. My bad.
Banjo maybe? He took a pass.
In any case, still (always) single and looking.
Yay! A quartet gig!
I'm such a chicken. Take me with you if I'm in the area next time.
Who was the person from middle school? I'm curious...
From,
Another person from middle school
It was Dr. Dorsey. She's a Doctor now!
