On Sunday we will enjoy our fourth annual Battle of the Bands. Each year this musical competition improves and I am proud to say that Sunday's venue is the iconic Greenwich Village Cafe Wha?.  Yes, where Dylan and Jimi had their starts.  We owe the honor of playing there to part owner William Skody (Co Chair of our Make A Difference Group).  Thank you again and again. 

I can't remember a presidential primary in New York that made a difference. Usually, the nomination is decided well before the New York primary. Not this year. We're actually getting the TV ads, the campaigning, the candidates, even a debate in Brooklyn! I have a premonition, perhaps a concern, that New York will make a difference. We will look back at April 19th and recognize that New York’s vote was critical.

With the Gotham "How To Get Business" seminar just around the corner, I thought these interesting and unique tips were worth a read.

  All of the food products we buy include a calorie count. Even restaurants now include that same calorie count on the menu. Do those disclosures influence your choices?

Cayce’s blog from last week inspired me to this blog. While Cayce wrote about the challenges she faced turning her diet around into a healthier lifestyle, I had the opposite challenge. In preparation for a minor procedure I had (I am absolutely fine), my doctor requested that I flip my diet around. I was advised not to eat vegetables, fruits, whole wheat products or any products that contained seeds for five days; all of which make up the majority of my diet.

Don't Miss the 4th

From the worldwide resources of Gotham comes this strange but true story.   An Austrailian man was arrested yesterday for choosing to put seat belts on his beer and not his children. Now there's a man with a clear priority.   The photo on the left shows the actual two cases of beer carefully protected by restraints. Photos of the children were unavailable but sources tell me they were jumping around the back seat yelling "drive faster."  

It is a simple fact that for a network to work, be it electrical or social, it requires connections, be they mechanical or mental.  Gotham is a cornucopia of connections which hum day by day around the clock.   Of course, one of the secrets of success is to be a connector or go to guy or gal.
