Nate Update

I got a great thank you email this weekend about our monthly parties at the studio. If you haven’t experienced one yet, please feel welcome to. We send out email invitations, blog posts, twitter feeds, myspace posts – if you don’t know about our parties, you’ve been on vacation in a far away land, my friend.

“Again, thanks for letting us crash your party. The networking that
goes on is awesome. So many different industries clashing together.
It’s awesome.” John Hawkins.

John was also very kind in his review our party on his blog. Check it out here.

John is a great family man, a passionate photographer, a über-programmer, and the organizer of WordCamp (more info coming soon) and organizer of the Las Vegas Twitter Meetup Group, which is a strong and growing diverse group of businesspeople who partake heavily in the activity formerly known as “networking” – but without the cover charge. – I for one, am stoked about meeting John and the potential ahead for our groups.

Thanks, hombre. Salud!

Hey, to those of you who showed up last night at the studio – THANK YOU. I’m very fortunate to have such great people surrounding me.

Currently, we have a truckload of clothes we’re going to donate to SafeNest, a mild hangover, and a group of hilarious “mugshots” of people wearing silly beanies. In other words: a kick ass party.

Tonight is the AIGA Las Vegas Holiday Party. Always a riot, so I’d better get some rest.

Cheers to good times with good humans.

Nothin’ but love,
Nate

Special thanks to Sloshspot.com for posting this interview on their blog. We at Black Diamond Digital have been big fans of New Belgium Brewery for over 10 years. In fact, we visited last month while in “Fort Fun” and enjoyed a 12 pack of Fat Tire (in cans, to our surprise). I drank one with dinner last night, and we still have  a fridge full. Stop by and have one with us!

Here’s a link to the interview with the Brewmaster at New Belgium Brewing. I recommend spending some time on the company site, as well. It’s insipring to see a company grow on their terms: maintain it’s integrity, it’s image (stellar graphic design all around), an environmental stance, and still manage to have a hell of a good time while making big profits at the same time. Cheers!
