Who2 Anniversary

Saturday was the celebration of the tenth anniversary of Who2. We went online in the first part of 1998, or so says part-time company archivist Fritz Holznagel.

We gathered for lunch at Pazzo's, the restaurant below the Vintage Plaza hotel, where we were all staying. Ryan and Julie came in from Cincinatti, Hans and his son Clifton came in from Cleveland, Mike Duffy in from whatever the hell town in Texas, and Adam and Jenny from Portland -- like us. The five Who2 fellows met at lunch to talk. The family members huddled in a wet corner on the street, I guess.

It was the first time all of us had been in the same room. It was the first time I'd met Mike Duffy, with whom I've worked for six or seven years now. It was a great time.

Dinner that evening at Mamma Mia's downtown was swell, another good time and way too much food. A nightcap at the hotel bar finished up the evening. It was fun and full of good feelings.
