First, the best news! We welcomed a new baby niece into the world today. Congrats Ennis and Jodi! 🙂

Note to self (ahem, reminder to self): stop trusting your frequently inaccurate sense of direction, especially in a new city. We went our for breakfast this morning and I got us turned around… but then we found this fantastically animated graffiti wall that took us back to Brooklyn.

Later in the day, our Zoo Labs experience officially began with a workshop on evolution vs. revolution. Fascinating stuff, and it’s gotten our wheels turning. At the end of this experience next week, we’ll be presenting our strategic plan to the group. Each day that passes should further inform our business plan through these workshops which are already shedding a lot of light on things.

Tomorrow, our guitar player Rich Hinman will arrive and pre-production will start as a band. cannot wait!

Um, dinner tonight was a fantastic experience, too. Mikaela the private chef made just the most ridiculous meal for us, and they’d invited some Zoo Labs alumni to come and join us. Met some very cool people!

sayonara for now,
