HELLO ADHOLE!

Wow I am MIA with the BLOG ... not really, I'm just still really busy KIT-ing-one-on-one and fighting evil by moonlight with Luna. I am missing a handful of posts, I will do some quickies later (teehee) if it's not too overdue ... But today, I attended my first Drinking with Adholes advertising networking event at Popburger sponsored by 360 and Pangea. I missed the first invite because I was a shy shrimp, and the second one because I was a lazy patahtoe. Slaps hand, no excuse. And this third one, I walked over, but I failed to bring enough cards and forgot my camera at home to bring you live action stalker photos. Double backslap to the face, Sam!

But maybe it was for the better. There were a lot of random ass WEIRDOS that attended that came up to me and said hi, ie a barking (literally) unemployed dude who tickled my knees and almost made me spit out my beer to say WTF, ie a mormon with yellow fever who kept asking me about my Asian descent and my family name, and ie a commercial real estater who has NOTHING TO DO WITH ADVERTISING but knew the DJ and brought along some of his ghetto rapper homefries. He smelled like 2 hours of weed, and I hate homefries. But I friggin love slider burgers - Popburger was such an awesome space to roll around and frolick in. I went to the one on 58th next to FAO and Apple, but I would definitely try out the Chelsea one sometime when I'm in the mood for some good sliders!

But please don't let the WEIRDOS scare you, it was actually more entertaining for me than anything to be able to laugh about them and move on. I got to meet the big man behind this event, Marc Lefton and some folks over at Pangea early on before the crowds arrived - they were super friendly, smart, and laid back! And I got to see my old coworker from Draft Digital, that was good times. So as much as things still need to get noodled on for event planning and organization, I still give advocate and give huge props to the whole idea of a monthly networking event is such a genius idea. Catch me at the next one if you can, I'll be sure to hand you out my card next month :)
