phynckeI had my event last night here in San Francisco, an alumni affair for *** and it was a real career builder for me here at the Uni. The location was interesting as it was held at Autodesk Gallery at One Market Street in San Francisco. This is a technically sophisticated site of an interactive nature. Here is the website so that you can get a feel for it.

These are the same people who develop autocad and a whole host of other techie software that is used in R&D and design. Their products were used in the Bay Bridge rebuild project and in movie special effects...etc. Really cool stuff. What was interesting about this site from an event planning perspective is that it fits 400 people but even with our smaller group of 100, the occasion works. There is so much in there that people have plenty to do and the room does not look empty with less people. Just terrific.
I worked with Fork and Spoon catering. Ultra professional and we went with their very first menu, not changing a thing. That almost never happens. Here is their web site too.

So people had a blast. They were wowed by the location, loved the food and we had to kick them out when the venue was closing. No joke, we had to kick them out. That is amazing.
I win! I totally win. Someone even approached me about consulting as an event planner for them so I have to figure that out. Might do that. Phyncke Inc will expand its scope. Why not?
I am so tired today and I think I pulled my Achilles tendon. That is not so good.
Cheers.
