DJ DMX was in town visiting a friend. Christmas eve he calls me and asks if there are any fun parties going on. I tell him about a couple. Then he asks if I can hook him up to play. I called DJ:K about his new KI events weekly nightclub event at the Pearl Ultra Lounge, and he agreed to let DMX play. It was a blast. Local legend, Brian Blurr was also scheduled to play the same night. All three DJ’s killed it. A great night out for Christmas – what else could you want? Thanks to DJ:K for letting us crash his party, and for improving the nightlife in SLC.

Wow. I’m blown away. The first meeting attendance was double what I expected it to be. Lots of great discussion, networking, some really talented and creative professionals in attendance. We had a good mix of photographers, designers, and even a few people who regularly contract out creative services. The networking potential here is terrific.

What an awesome start. Our little meeting space at the library was bursting at the seams. It’s clear we’ll need to get the downstairs conference rooms for future meetings, which might make scheduling a little more difficult, but we’ll work it out.

Clearly there is a lot we can learn from each other, and it seems that this group is filling a very real need. The interest was very clear, and the energy and excitement at the meeting was very encouraging. I think everybody walked away with a sense of optimism. I know a few photos were shot, so please comment and post links if you upload a set. Link to any meeting reports, as well.

Thanks to everybody who showed up. If you missed out, please join us at UTFreelance.com for details on the next meeting. See you all next month!
