Look what the festive season brought to
ARC Institute on Friday December 19th, 2008. Here's a shot of me Rob Campbell and
Michael Cayley of Context Creative eating the peperoni and cheese out of the pizza platter. I was testing a new theory called selective snacking and conducting a study to see if it's sustainable - its not.
Billie and his team had laid out a healthy buffet that included a wide selection of smoked and candied meats alongside local produce and fruits from around the world.
And below here's a shot of Susanna Kislenko playing hostess with one of ARC's new clients.. oh I wish I could remember his name. He has a solar panel company I think.Cool guy.
This was a 'two room party' and one environment contained a wide selection of beverages and coat check and the other room held the food. I wondered which room would be popular first? Turns out they both grew equally and there was a nice migration cycle that happened as people mingled - there was of course people in the hallway too but that was something Billie and Alyssa and other staff members tried to keep to a minimum.
Of course the highlight of the evening was Billie's impromptu screening of his new trailer for the
ponzi scheme video. Everyone feels bad for Billie who lost so much money to a con artist two years ago - and although I find it remarkable that so big and so powerful a ponzi scheme could occur in the highest eschelon of society... he doesn't, because it happened to him.
That's
VespaChick behind Billie Mintz, and that's
Jennifer Grant beside her, and that's my big head in the foreground. I can't remember Jennifer's boyfriend's name but he was very interesting too.
Here's to ARC Institute 2009!
