Where Art Thou Mike Brown

in case you were wondering

If, like me, you have found yourself inexplicably pondering "who will hire Mike Brown given his performance in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina," then ponder no longer.

Whispers were that Renamity in Philadelphia had hired the former FEMA director as an Events Manager. I am happy to report that these are no longer whispers. Clearly Mr. Brown is one of the new Events Manager for Renamity and his first big event was putting together the New Year's Eve bash at Le Jardin. When asked about the event, Mr. Brown said, "these parties are a breeze. It's part execution, but mostly it's about covering the details."

As to how Mr. Brown's first event came off, well, it is not my place to judge... only to report.

Blizz Footnote: In the course of searching for information about Le Jardin, my fingers and Google landed me at this site.

Now, I will not judge, but I must admit that I did begin to speculate around restaurant number 37... and was convinced of it by the time I arrived at Morton's, restaurant #61 -- that the authors of this guide to 10 Great Restaurants were not, in fact, math majors.

In fairness to the authors of this list, their list of 10 "must eat" Places in Philly contained ONLY 11 restaurants... which is 50 closer to 10 than 61 is. Perhaps they were counting to 10 in Base 7 (although, even in this generous scenario, they still landed on Saturn while shooting for Mars... which is, though, warmer than Neptune).
