Job Well Done

I haven't posted in a minute (I know - I am sorry). But I've been really busy lately. But last night? Last night - it all came together. Although I hesitate to ever call anything a perfect storm - last night was a really good one. You all know I throw events with my crew SYGU. We've had a notable event called Teese (as in graphic t-shirts) since 2007. This is our 5th time doing it in 4 years - and to say its grown successfully is an understatement. Its one thing to build a brand - but to continue to grow it -that's something else.

Lately, I spent a lot of time wondering why we don't get the accolades we deserve all the time - awards, sponsorships, media coverage. But then I began to understand that what makes us so good at what we do is that we don't wait for those accolades to come along and propel us or define us. We do what we do - and people appreciate it. I think about all the people that stop me in my party to say that are having a great time - or celebrating another success with my SYGU brethren -and really - that's all the thanks I need. I remember now - to quote a Drake lyric - we are "into making history, not into making friends". We may have spent a tad too much time on the latter. Guess what's not going to happen anymore. Ahem.

But - anyway. I wanted to show you what is was like to be there last night in this great moment. We packing out concert venues now...no time to turn back.. time to get bigger and better.

And a little yard work too..

Added a walkway and cleaned up those bricks in the back. Flowers on the way. Our place is really coming together.

Mothers Day Brunch @ The Holmans

I love getting chances to host our family in our home. Now if I could just get my Dad to visit for more than 48 hours..lol. I figure I'd throw him a cuisine hint.

But this time the Mrs. Outdid herself. And I really appreciate it! Shrimp and grits..that's all I'm saying people. My wife does her thing in the kitchen!
