A Party Afterall

After my two posts about how much I do not enjoy planning parties - the happy hour turned out to be a success. We had 15 folks turn out, some familiar faces and new peeps as well. Now to get other people to organize the gatherings.

Event Planning is So Last Career

I admit it, I do not like being the organizer of events. At this point in my career I can advise folks on events and how to make them work for their business but I don't want to do them myself.

Why am I writing this "note to self - because here I am again, organizing an event. I dreaded it all week and then all day. Now I'm here and no one has shown because we had to move the location last minute. Plus, it is raining. Rain for Californians is like cryptonite. Plus, the bartender at this new location is super not friendly.

Okay, enough kafetching and now to make myself look like 15 people.

BizArts: Arts Lovers in Business Suits

If you've been following the San Francisco Bay Area Arts & Business Partnership Feasibility Study blog (say that ten times fast) you'll know that we're building momentum towards getting like-minded folks together. Last week we had a reunion of Business Arts Council/Business Volunteers for the Arts alumni which was a wonderful success! Following on that gathering we've launched a meetup.com group called BizArts.
