Lions, and tigers, and dogs, oh my!
We attended the UW EEU (Experimental Education Unit) Charity Auction last evening -- it was the first large-scale charity auction that I've ever been to, and it was a lot of fun. We picked up some small items in the wave of silent auctions before the dinner/live auction event, hobnobbed with the jet set (including an action-packed Seattle Sonics discussion with the Groz (Dave Grosby, from 950 KJR-AM Sports Radio in Seattle -- note that he looked EXACTLY like what I'd have expected!) over beers), and then enjoyed the frenetic bidding at the live event.
Our table was well represented -- Some Table 41 highlights:
* One hour lunch with Intel's Craig Barrett goes for >$5,000
* Gorgeous golden retriever puppy named Starbeamer... then Blossom... then "Rosie" fetches premium price -- ain't she cute?
Rosie and Zach in the classic struggle between good and evil, young and old...
