The U.P. Builders Show, Sole Azteca and more.
So please bear with me...I am typing this on my phone and anytime that happens, the paragraphs get all funky, my phone starts auto correcting and it's a big pain in the ass.
So last weekend was the U.P. Builders show. This is put on by Jen from the Mqt Builders Exchange and myself, from the HBA of the UP. 2 people. And a committee to make all the big decisions for us. It was a LOT of work let me tell you. The months of planning involved and the organization, it is just crazy crazy. We had great sponsors this year, Eagle Radio Group, their whole team was fantastic...Rosemary and Kent, the Fatman, Ryan and Corey and the rest of them, they were great, we were very very happy. TV 6 did a great job with the interviews and showing their celebrity faces at the show!! The Mining Journal did an outstanding color ad this year that we loved!! And Bennett Media, the commercials omg we just loved them. The show was a huge success. Not as many numbers thru the door but we had a lot of competition that weekend, one of them being nice weather! All in all, it was awesome. Apart from my 35 hours a week at my office, I put in another 34 just working at the dome. I did not take off Monday I kept working. So by Friday, the 11th, I was done. 12 days, 98 hours, I was beat. So I took half a day off.
My lunch Friday was a great one...good company and great food! Rosemary and the Fatman from Eagle Radio joined me at Solar Azteca. My first time there and I was very impressed with the view! I indulged in a couple big strawberry margaritas and the Fatman joined me with his big one....go there and just ask for a big one. ;-) They are pretty big. So our conversation ranged from our kids and sports and schools, food and restaurants, and ended up somewhere around erotica...?? :-) I am proud to say I was Fatman first apparently. He had never talked to an erotica novelist before. Ha! :-) Great food, I will be back here...and great friends. Look out Marquette, if we all keep hanging out, there could be trouble a brewing......
Until next time...check out the next post about the Big Bay Lighthouse!
To good times and good friends...~S
