Very cool night

I was very excited to be part of the Business Examiner's 40 Under 40 List for 2007.
It also felt good to be the young 'un of the group--I was the youngest of the 40.

But at the fun party tonight at Varsity Grill I really appreciated the chance to see a whole range of people that I used to see regularly when I was at the CVB. It reminded me that I was at one point rather plugged in to the business world of Tacoma through the tourism work I did.

Once I started at the Grand my contacts and circles definitely changed and I became much more involved in art, film, non-profit work, etc.

No question I feel much more comfortable in the realm of the arts and such, but the business community here is strong and close-knit.

All in all, it was a very fun night with a lot of re-connecting with old friends. Good night out in T-Town.
