Call Me the Waco Kid
I went to my first after-hours Gainesville Advertising Federation event. I got to know a few people in the industry from around the town, but overall I was my usual wallflower self. I was finally able to break out of my shell thanks to Derrick from Alta Printing, an all-around great and personable guy. I have to admit, we had the most unusual introduction ever.Derrick was on the other side of the room just as the raffle was about to begin. The raffle consisted of quite a few of those chains of tickets. As they got ready to call the numbers, Derrick handed his drink to someone, and, in a dead impersonation of Cleavon Little, announced:
“Excuse me while I whip this out!”
I immediately rejoined “Noooo!”
Thus introduced, Derrick introduced me to quite a few other members and the night proceeded smoothly.
