Nice one, Joe! I have to say that I'm bummed I missed the event. And you weren't so bad…at least you didn't (really) slur!
Would have been great to have you there, man! Cheers!
Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say
that I’ve really liked reading your posts. Anyway
I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again soon!
Cheers
That event was a lot of fun, Joe. Are you coming to the next Wine Riot in the fall?
I just might bro – any details on that one yet?
Wait a second… just saw this on WineRiot.com :
"Drawing on Boston’s expansive 23-34 year old population, Wine Riot attracts over 2,500 New England wine drinkers ranging from the curious beginner to enthusiastic connoisseur."
I'm too old to go to Wine Riot!!
No worries, you are NEVER too old, we just had to outline the general population of who will be there for marketing folks. MOSTLY 23-34, plenty of people older and younger (er, well younger being 21-23 ;)
:-)
It's good to see Morgan! We are old friends from school and former colleagues. I'm very proud of what they did. From all appearances they really organized a spectacular event.
Yeah – they rocked my socks!
