Hot Tamale

If the blog updates have been sparse, it's b'cause our time to rest has been the same. Last week was almost too busy to blog about, and this week's looking about the same. But even with the KSL Tailgates, the Daddy-Daughter Dance, and the Cougar Countdown Show, we found time for one of our favorite events of the week. On Tuesday, Richter7 (Utah's leading advertising agency) launched "OndaR7" (their Hispanic Marketing Division) with a "Friends and Press" event at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center on Broadway in Salt Lake City. We were fortunate enough to provide stage managing for the event, including a Flamenco group and a pretty impressive latin dancer (as seen in the pictures above).

It was a great event with notable attendees including folks from the Govenor's Office, SL County Mayor Corroon, Chris Redgrave, Park City Chamber and Visitors Bureau, Zions Bank executives, and on and on. I learned how to eat a tamale (taking it out of the corn husk makes it easier to chew and digest), and got to drive around town with a pick-up truck full of piñatas, the latter being one of my life-long dreams.

Our favotite part of the event? When funkmaster "Capitan J" layed down some Paul Oakenfold tracks. Fat, punchy bass after an afternoon of mandolins, box drums and classical guitars is like water after a mouthfull of sand...or cat hair.
