Dinners at Ad:Tech
April 21st, 2008 by Bob Buskirk
The second dinner was a blogger dinner put on by Ms Danielle. It was held at Annabelle’s Bar and Bistro, which is right by Moscone Center. We were joined at Annabelle’s by Ian Fernando, Greg Morgan, Garret Gee, Wes Mahler, Ian Lee and Gloria. I decided on the rib-eye, which Ian and Danielle got also. It was cooked perfectly, I also ordered the French Onion soup, but they served it in a large bowl with cheese sprinkled on the top. Usually you get it in a crock with bread and cheese on the top, but it was still good.
Both dinners gave me a good chance to network with people and tell them about what I do. A lot of people were surprised that I have been doing ThinkComputers for so long and that I started it when I was in high school. In any business networking is very important so dinners like these are perfect for meeting new people and making contacts, regardless of the industry the people may be in.

Bob, you’re totally right about the dinners at those events and dinners in general. It’s a great way to learn, socialize and network in an informal fashion.
Hey Bob,
It was nice to meet you in person. Thanks for sharing the Asia de Cuba photos. It’s a nice reminder of all the good food and great conversations from that evening.
Cheers!
from what you said, it doesn’t seem there are a lot of things in pittsburgh, but they seem to have ambitious people living there
great pics of the food!
Nothing in Pittsburgh? Come on. They have Yagr & Lemieux. Oh wait, that was from a previous generation.
Now they have Crosby & Malkin. The Lemieux & Jagr of the 21st century.
Seems you had great dinner…I could imagine how fun it was, having dinner while expanding network.
*sigh*…I’m missing out on all of these great events

Just hope you didn’t have food around your mouth and spill it down your top…
It’s so much fun to see these photographs. I always hope that one day even I will be a part of these dinners. The food looks awesome……
