Won't you be my client?

Yesterday we took one of my clients out on a little adventure on the Weber river.  

It was my first time on the water since Q came to stay and I don't know why I chose to do it with a client in tow but I am good at making snap decisions that get me trouble so why not do it with a business relationship at risk?

It actually turned out to be a really great day and the client had a grand time.  I wish I was my client, life would be really good.  

I got a little tan, a little exercise and conquered my fear of the Highway 84 pylons gauntlet that took me down last time I floated that stretch of river. 

Perhaps it is time to get back on water a bit more often.  I just need to find a spot for my breast pump in the kayak. 

Let's make an event of it

Outdoor Retailer is over.

It was a bit of a challenge trying to manage child care, choosing between client socializing or being a responsible parent and after taking a year off, my legs are bloody sore from walking on the concrete.  I think a little bit of my sole leaked out with each beep of the forklift.

Fortunately we had another project going on at the same time, which was kinda my baby.  What I really want to do with my life is Produce Events so this was a nice break from the trade show world that put a little spring in my step.  We get to do some of this kind of stuff, but not enough to meet my appetite.

The idea was a little music festival sponsored by Keen Shoes in conjunction with Outdoor Retailer.

The event was done on the lot where Club DV8 burned down so a few safari tents, a mural and a waterfall later, we went from this:

to this:

We did everything except the waterfall and mural, those were farmed out.  

It was successful and hopefully we will be doing something similar for each upcoming show.
