i would say my opinions are fine to be public...maybe not as well thought out, maybe a little personal, but echoing the words of Heidi a bit...but again, there is the point, it is very clique-y, and some people are left by the wayside...
and some peoples opinions aren't out there due to their personal popularity or lack thereof...hello...so, anyway, i love and am always committed to (at some personal and professional sacrifice, which now seems, well, silly and naive) Milwaukee as a place to work and grow. no need for an awards thing as a way of getting people in the door. organized and timely advertising would go a long way, and sometimes that just isn't done very well by smaller groups...and that has more to do with being on top of things than it does money in a lot of cases. anyway, i doubt my vague notions will be worth much to all out there, but just trying to stay in the "family" current. peace all- jw
