A bunch of my coffee time lately has been doing web work for a charity I am helping with. It has been an interesting voyage of meeting with a bunch of world class artists and assembling the pieces of a larger event.
I would love to coordinate/communicate with any Bizniks who want to become involved, sponsor guests, or attend. It is an amazing show.
