A Saturday, rainy edition.
The newsletter is sent to just under 3,000 emails currently. Would really like to see it above the 3k mark. Can you maybe add a few friends?
How about our Phillies? Could we be off to a worse start? Seems like we do this every year under Charlie. I went to opening night, bringing a good buddy from back home and my parents to the game. GReat tailgate weather and fun day except for the game itself. I was looking at some dates the Phillies will be at Wrigley Field this summer. Eyeing the August 11-13 dates. Anyone have interest in heading to Chicago for some Phillies games?
Speaking of travel, when I flew to Seattle last week with US Airways, there was no movie, meal, pillows, or blankets. The world we now live in.....
And more good press for my friend Anne and Andrew at Back on My Feet: http://www.hulu.com/watch/66255/nbc-nightly-news-with-brian-williams-phillys-homeless-run-toward-a-better-life

Commercializing Your Intellectual Property

Please join the Forum at our April 14th meeting when we will discuss "Commercializing Your Intellectual Property".
