Personally: I'd love to meet people who are honest with me, others and especially themselves. Who enjoy a good time, ice cold beer and conversation. I'm not up for drama and believe that people should just keep it real. Not on here looking for sex either, sorry.
Business: I'd like to meet other professionals in the event industry to work with. Part of planning events is knowing who the best dj is, which services offer the latest types of limos, discovering ethnic or creative new talents from unique foods to daring dresses down to vocalists and photographers. I'd love to develop a team of these kinds of people that I can consistantly work with and recommend to my clients.
