An eclectic mix at dinner at The Forge tonight. Greg Nielsen at Data Foundry who is celebrating both being a nominee for Austin 40 Under 40 and selling out the 1st phase of floor space in Texas 1.

My cranky b@stard pal Antony Francis from Head of Lettuce Media who is on my Social Media Strategy panel at 9 am tomorrow.

Melanie Sunahara of Cbeyond was quizzing Greg on Data Foundy and GigaNews, while chatting with Mike Grossman from Netwolves about the Channel. Grossman has a new position in Biz Dev with Netwolves.

Anthony Jett from IIS Group spent the evening talking M+A and Hosted VOIP.

Good food, good conversation. It's why I like ITEXPO. Off to Mangos!
