Tonight I am going to Genghis Cohen, a place I have been many times to eat firecracker shrimp, to drink cocktails, and see live music. The first time I went there was for a private party with one of my fabulous vendors from NEWH when I was a newbie designer in town. I wasn’t sure of what to expect, but it’s pretty self explanatory – it’s a Jewish / Chinese Restaurant with a rocker bar music venue. All good things! I have memories of a terrific night when I took my husband to see Sean G. play at Genghis when we were dating. That was the first time my friends met the man I would marry about a year later, a man I met on the internet, who I now refer to as my Perfect Husband (he really is – I have to remind him of that tonight). So today I ponder this whole Genghis Cohen – meeting people for the first time paradigm as I gear up to go to there tonight to meet people I’ve never met.

In four short hours I will be attending a special performance by Chris Mann to the women of the Ultimate Blog Party. I can’t begin to explain how this all worked out, but I am strangely excited to meet these gals – it reminds me of internet dating! No doubt there will be more to report on this…
