quick networking update for those that even care or read this blog...all four of you...
a couple of weeks ago, I was invited to an Exclusive James Bond pre-screening premier event held by this law firm I've gotten to know...it was cocktails (of course champagne and canapais at this trendy bar) then a private screening (for about 150 people) at this theatre near piccadilly circus...the movie was okay although i left feeling a little disappointed...the movie was too much action and not enough story or character development...it was probably still a decent movie but my expectations were probably a little high since DC is probably my favorite Bonds so far...he is like the Jason Bourne of Bonds which make him a little more real, meaner, and human i guess...i liked the first movie he did a lot, but this second one was 2.5 of 4 stars i say...its good that he signed on for at least 4 more...we'll see...
and last thursday, i went to my first black-tie affair here...i wore the typical standard black tux with a black bow tie...no cumberbun or vest...it was this private equity/venture capital event for the industry...its an annual "Gala" event...about 1,200 people were in attendance which was a ton of people dressed very fancy...the event was okay...same ol' same ol'...sitting, networking, and drinking with a bunch of people who made even more money taking from people who make far less money...we were all toasting to that...what a freakin' world...recession is in (but not really for these people...its not like they are going to be poor, they are just not going to make as much money as they did before...tough times i guess for them).
hi sue, abby, ann, and aline...did i miss anyone? if so, speak up!

Hmm, no shout out for me. Makes me think you actually like British TV.
ooh. . .to dress up in black tie attire drinking champagne and having adult conversation. . . what does that feel like again? thanx for the shout out! peace.
interesting...i see that someone from jpmorganchase chicago checks in every once in a while...no clue who it is since princess apparently has a wide network of peeps there...
so, one of those is you jason...nice...
i don't mind british TV by the way...they show massive reruns of JAG, NCIS, Dark Angel, Alias and of course family guy...so i don't mind...this is not really british tv i guess
archie doesn't mind british tv, and he also doesn't mind speaking british: 'massive'.
waterloo needs to keep it real.
princess likes the smell of beef nachos.
what did you say to the plebeians at this black tie affair?
Wow....rich people eh? Well, at least you're on the right end of things. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy JB for the "tight ass" factor- but I'm sure M. and I will ;)
Remember that there needs to exist these levels, strata of wealth. If not. we'd all be shopping at Wal-Mart and they would have turned Harrods into a non-profit health clinic. Now what would Princess say to that?
