Tonight, a bunch of us Technical Communications types gathered for an evening of networking, connection, food, and fun. Here's a little bit of how it went.
First we got a ride on the bus. Good time to check out the surrounding area and the beautiful Chicago skyline.

 |
| I will call it "The Sears Tower" forever. |
Before we knew it, we were there. The bus driver let us off at the door. Thanks, man.

| Second City location |
Then we split up into groups for dinner. My group went to
Kamehachi. What a great place. Best sushi I can remember.

And the food is beautiful, as well as photogenic. See?

| Miso starts the meal |
 |
| Unbelievably delicious sushi |
 |
| Delicious and photogenic sushi |
 |
| The mackerel sashimi comes in its own little house |
 |
| Some of us had room for dessert |
After dinner, it was a short walk to the theatre. Here's a group shot of us.

And a shot of their menu. More drinks. More food. More fun.
 |
| Even the menu was funny |
A few words about Second City: the show is the best of its kind. It is no wonder that this organization is so famous for cradling and nurturing the finest comedians on the planet. The material was funny, topical, fresh. The players were engaging, funny, and cute as buttons. The whole thing was fabulous.
In fact the whole evening was fabulous, made all the more wonderful by the fact that I got to hang out with my Tech Comm colleagues.
Thanks so much to Linda Kelley, Paula Ludmann @pludmann , and Linda Jansak @ljansak for putting the thing together.
And a shout out to Betsy Maaks for being just as great in person as she is online.
Now it's late and I'm "on" tomorrow morning at the Leadership event. Come see me if you can.
AND BRING COFFEE!
