As we all get back to the grind, after a (hopefully) relaxing holiday, we thought it would be a good time to give a quick hello and let everyone know what we have been up to here at Wiredrive. We realize that is has been a while, so bear with us as we reflect back on some of the great events of ’06.
First off, was the Boards Summit, back in late October. Wiredrive was in attendance, and even threw a party at the Knitting Factory. I wanted to rent a hot dog cart, to really make it an authentic New York experience, but apparently the neighbors aren’t big fans of the knitting factory, and having partygoers devouring hot dogs out on the street wouldn’t go over very well, so that idea was nixed and I had to settle for Ball Park franks in the comfort of my home. Maybe next year, you never know. The party was a smash, as evident by our bar tab, and we can’t wait to do it again. Check out some pics below.
The second cool event that capped 2006 was the very impressive AICP Holiday Party, held at the very cool Vanguard nightclub in good old Hollywood. AICP outdid themselves, once again, featuring not only an excellent venue, but also a DJ set by the Crystal Method and a great crowd. When we weren’t dancing, we were schmoozing, and when the rooms had been schmoozed out, we ate finger foods and sipped cocktails. Not a bad way to spend a Thursday night before the Holidays arrived. Take a look at some of these pics to see the Wiredrive crew in action.
In addition to partying, we’ve also been working hard, preparing to launch Wiredrive 2.0 upon the eager masses. Our wonderful clients have been providing us with feature requests and feedback, and we have been burning the midnight oil to provide all the features that we can to the new system. Trust us, it will be worth the wait.
Finally, in celebration of the new year, I wanted to mention a few things that I am looking forward to, that already have me excited about the coming year:
The Transformers Movie: Any male who grew up in the 80’s knows why this is going to be awesome. And the big budget blockbuster nature of this version of the movie is like revisiting my childhood on steroids.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: See above.
The Sopranos Final Season: There go my Sunday nights. After an anticlimactic Season 6, I’m expecting a lot of shooting and some great plot twists.
A New Radiohead Album: Thom Yorke’s Album was better than 90% of the records that came out last year, but it’s still not the same.
The Hollywood Bowl Summer Concert Series: The best way to spend a Sunday night during the summer. It could be the Milwaukee Kazoo Collective playing, I’d still have a great time.
What are you readers anticipating this year?
