I haven't decided yet. This should be a new thread, IMO. Go ahead and start it.

Paluka,

Isn't being friends w/ Finkel a greater Magic accomplishment than having your own card?

[jgorham]

Winning the college mock trial national championship as both an attorney and witness. Also not buying a ferrari.

You clearly don't understand what Jon was like when I became friends with him.
Also, I defeated Jon in the finals to get the ol Meddling Mage.

LFS:

Knew you were in the industry, but didn't realize you had your own agency. What's your specialty?

[/ QUOTE ]

When we opened, on-camera commercials. We now also have youth, theatrical, and hosting/broadcasting divisions.

Lippy, I was going to PM you, but depending on what you want to do spending all that time in school to work in Hollywood might not be a good idea.

Other questions PM me, if there's enough interest I'll start another thread.

I would definitely be interested in this...

LFS: FYI, if your wife asks, I think you might want to consider substituting "daughter" for "job" right now.

OP: Probably building a company to double-digit million revenues and almost 200 people. Next time I do this I'll try to skip the downsizing and firesale part.

ANY idiot can make a kid. Not an accomplishment at all, IMO. Now, raising a daughter in Los Angeles successfully, I would call an accomplishment. But I can't take credit for that yet.

Downsize and firesale? Know anybody at Sherwood Partners?

I wish I had a firm, good answer to this, but it's probably something relating to grad school. At 21 I moved overseas to attend grad school in Poland, where I knew a total of 0 people and spoke about ten words of the language. I ended up writing a 100+ page thesis about NATO expansion and American security policy in eastern Europe, meeting a lot of people, learning enough Polish to have conversations in bars and conduct my daily business (including with my non-English speaking landlord), and still somehow not getting my MA out of the deal. (Oops, maybe not such a great accomplishment.)

In any event, it was very empowering to move somewhere that I didn't know anyone and didn't speak the language and still be able to be socially and intellectually successful (by some standard). Oh yeah, and I moved over there three days after September 11th.
