Entering the museum on a “runway” carpet , guests were surprised to find it was  the skirt to a beautiful greeter.   Enjoying an evening of music, simulator rides, 3D theater shows, the evening culminated with a buffet dinner and after dinner entertainment under starry skies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Out of town guests enjoyed an evening at Fluxx nightclub in the gaslamp quarter for an evening of food, mermaids and singing sirens that got the crowd dancing ’til dawn!

 

Twittered Out?

Does Twitter’s brief communication  style really improve our relationships or is it another unwelcome platform for advertising and self promotion? Do I really need to hear what  products/events people love via twitter?   

Ted Kruckel ’s “Twitter Off” article  deals with this topic  at http://issuu.com/bizbash/docs/nyla-winter-2010 .  He  shares interesting forms of  twitter usage that are thinly veiled forms of product promotion.  Having received plenty of  similar type of product promoting tweets myself, I agree with Ted ‘s conclusion: In the end, “the real social network is putting people together in person where interesting locales, meaningful content and thought-provoking design can still do magic”.

After  all the rain and cold of the last few months, spring looks promising for outdoor activities. March is a great month to see the gray whales pass through San Diego’s  coast on their way to their breeding grounds in Baja California.  Check out San  Diego’s Natural History Museum and Hornblower cruises  which offer a 3 ½  hour outing with Museum trained naturalists providing  interpretation on board.
