Basically purely entertainment and something to do while I drink my coffee.   

Ever wonder why Budweiser spends millions during the Super Bowl to tell us to drink what's already in our hand?

ROI was not worth it and it's unfortunate too many in the workforce drink the academia "higher education" kool aid...Best financial decision I ever made in life was to get started in REI!

But the effects of the ocean breeze combined with possibly too many of those drinks with umbrellas make my eyes tired and heavy, so I must put the books aside to rest up for the next book.

1) After a Saint Patrick's day weekend of drinking not being able too all day is worth the ticket2) Trying to match members to their 10 year old pictures will be a hoot3) catching up on fashion pointers by watching what josh wears is better than a GQ magazine4) the adult video convention going on at the same time.

Maybe it is because of where I live, how I was raised or who I interact with or a combination, but I will continue to open doors for the ladies.Note: This comes from a guy who uses a razor from the 1960s, listens to Jazz, serves in the military, drinks Manhattans and eats home cooked meals most nights…I guess I am just old school.

Free food and drink and just networking!

Not because of major repairs and renovations or anything, but because I don't wear my shoes in the house, don't allow food or drinks other than water on carpeted areas, etc.

As stated above, except for any food or drink you happen to order, there is no charge to attend.
