Dallas IABC

Dallas IABC: "Hey new DIABC Members! It's time to meet your fellow IABCers and find out what IABC is all about. Enjoy free appetizers and great drink specials at Mondo's. There will be prizes and an icebreaker game to get to know who's who in IABC!
All IABC members are welcome - come toast the new members!
(Cost is $5 for non-IABC members) "

Went to this last night and met some interesting folks around town. There actually was a blog celebrity there - the Wi-Fi Guy. He actually might join this blog, so we can duke it out about wireless Internet access for all the world to see... kind of like a "Smackdown" for nerds. Anyway, it's a cool group - a bit more broadly focused than just PR. We met a kid there who made the mistake of asking... "So what is a blog?" To which I got to pontificate for the next 20 minutes about the blogosphere and why it matters to PR folks like us. I also met the head of Mary Kay's International Marketing Group, Melinda. She was a great lady and was from a town I know well - La Porte, Texas. Met Don Clampitt from Clampitt Paper - quite the class act, and several other people who were just a delight. Thanks to Owens for watching the little princesses, so I could go to the cocktail hour. I had a vodka tonic in her honor and turned into a pumpkin promptly at 7:00 p.m.
