And they’re off. From the backstretch seats of Del Mar Race Track I’m on
my dogs yelling at horses, mourning my losses, and making new connections.
Only recently did I join Ad2, but I can already tell it was a wise move. Our
trip began with a group ride to Del Mar, where a series of impromptu trust
falls broke out in the parking lot. When we got to our seats, with beer in hand
we caught a glimpse of Mario Lopez accepting a blanket of flowers for his
horse’s performance. So naturally I thought, “If AC Slater can win, so can I.”
I was sorely mistaken. In fact I discovered I know nothing about horse
racing save for the oversized hats. I must say however that taking a loss has
never been so comfortable. The day was spent chatting, cheering and clinking
glasses with a great group of like-minded professionals. For a newbie to San
Diego and the local advertising scene, I was welcomed graciously and made
some exceptional new contacts. And even though the job hunt looms before me,
I’m liking my odds more everyday.
