Then, Saturday, had margaritas on the house courtesy of a tree lighting party thrown by my condo development. Good start to the evening. Went over to this "private mansion party" that was supposedly sponsored by a whole bunch of corporate sponsors but none of them could get us decent food or drinks even after we had paid $20 to get into this one.
I should have stuck to my guns when I said, do not attend events that you have to pay for. This one was almost as bad as the one I went to on the 1st except that one cost more, had fewer people, was in this god-awful venue and just sucked people-wise, etc. The people at this one were not a total waste. They were rather very interesting, stimulating conversation with professional people, some using that opportunity to network, some networking themselves like me, mixed crowd (meaning people of all races were almost evenly mixed) and fun people who were out there to have a good time.
Once again a plus, not for the introduction of prospects, but just for the chance to laugh, and hear yourself laugh at something utterly hilarious and heaving a sigh that says, "you know I am having a good time." It was not bad at all.
