Good news? Great meetings! Bad news? Afternoon meetings were down in Orange County...and that meant a BRUTAL drive back up to LA. Yikes.
...but great meetings...that the key.
LA Day 1:
...and then a superduper cool LA startup that could be a distribution partner...and that has tons of contacts that could help us. So cool.
And on to Friday.
Here's the thing...about LA...man...I love driving around here. Not. :-)
Great day in San Diego today...met with:
There's lot of levreage in our model...and we get to meet with great organizations doing really cool stuff.
Went to see the Edward Hopper exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Terrific stuff. Well presented. I really love his early stuff...especially the works that he did in Gloucester, MA ('The Mansard Roof', etc.).
