ntrprnr 0 #1 November 15, 2007 1) Every once in a while, I find it fun to start a small nuclear war in my industry... http://tinyurl.com/2jqmwk 2) Can someone text or email me tonight around 9:30/10pm EST and remind me that at 5:30pm, a SOBER Peter Shankman said to his future self that even though you're drunk, and you're not as strong-willed as you may be when you're sober, there is NO WAY to justify whatEVER you're currently looking at bidding on for the silent auction at the charity function you're going to? No matter HOW much you THINK you want it, no matter how much you can say "BUT IT'S FOR A GOOD CAUSE," and CERTAINLY no matter how much you want it simply because some guy with a hot girl is trying to outbid you, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY IT. If someone could remind me of that around 10pm-ish EST, that'd be lovely. I'm going to the Fresh Air Fund's Fall fund-raiser/dinner thing... Open bar. They encourage you to drink, JUST for that reason. It's very, very dangerous. Check out the silent auction: http://www.freshair.org/images/events/fallbenefit/auction.pdf So yeah - if you save me, I'll buy you a jump or two. :) Happy Thursday night... -Peter_______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"
