Ba-dum bum bum
So I’m attending a 3-day workshop (9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday-Sunday… yikes!) called the Artist as an Entrepeneur Institute, which is put on by the CPAC, a local arts organization. Sure, Buzz is kicking some major butt this year, but if I really want to make the future Buzz “empire” a reality, I figure a little planning and strategy couldn’t hurt.
The workshop takes place in a gorgeous old cathedral so airy and full of light that I felt energized and positive even before the sessions, which have so far proved to be informative and engaging. But, for me, the real showstopper was this guy:
Meet Stephen R. Cook, Esq, an unlikely combination of lawyer, comedian, teacher, and snappy dresser (love the bow tie). From the looks of this photo he graciously posed for today, I suspect that Mr. Cook might also make an intimidating jousting opponent. Well, he certainly had me in stitches with his old-school comedy styling.
Case in point: A discussion of the business type “sole proprietorship” began with Mr. Cook pointing out that the Bishop of our hosting cathedral could perhaps be considered a “soul proprietor”. Classic.
I can’t wait to see what tomorrow will bring. I just wish it started at 10:00.

Kristen- I love the photo and comments-too funny! I was sitting by you. Pretty impressive little business you have here. The jewelry is very cool and different. Congrats and much success to you!
