Welcome, ladesco! And know that you are not the only designer hereabouts (not me...I am but a lowly copywriter, alas).
actually, to both PETER and DANCEINMISERY... glad to be here! i love the mix of people here. lots of creative types, music, art, design, writing, photography, etc.... it's a great fit!
i've really been inspired by bill's efforts for the sarashopefoundation.co.uk project... my friends and i had dinner this eve, my "ultimate brisket & cabbage" was a success! brad, in our entourage, has been recovering from cancer, he has been on a very low (red) meat diet... but OPTED for the corned beef tonight, since it's usually the once a year thing here; he loved it, but was actually not feeling too well from his last treatment. sharon, his wife, and i chatted a bit about hosting a benefit. brad's an awesome bass player, my friend arnie is a killer lead guitarist who likes to play millions of notes in a very orderly manner... (youtube.com, and checkout ab9957) anyhoo, she and i are discussing the how to's of having a benefit. i also work parttime at the american red cross, and one of my co-workers' families had a very successful event raising $250,000 to send her brother to bejing for stem cell surgery. i'll be learning a lot about fund raising, nonetheless!
whoops, a tangent... well anyway, nice to meet you all! have a lovely eve:o)
