The Raccoon is back and in new SFJAZZ digs

Well, hello friends and neighbors. The Raccoon blog is back. I've decided to make frequent (or infrequent) posts for your reading enjoyment. But you gotta promise me something. You will comment or at least put a smiley face or something each time you read something. Even if you don't like what I have to say (Butch).

OK, so here's today news. After 7 years of working at SFJAZZ in the Production Office we often called the War Room (or Peace Room, as it may be) we have re-located. Our office are now in what used to be the old box office and Holy Toledo! there are WINDOWS GALORE! It's a fish bowl surrounded by clear glass and looking on to the passerby's of Embarcadero Center Three.

What a relief from not having even a small window to look out AFTER NEARLY 25 YEARS AS A PROFESSIONAL PERSON! I mean this is epic folks. I'm so excited I may join The Bar Method or get my nails done at Vanity, the beauty salon across the way.

So after a whole day in here by myself today I noticed that folks don't really notice you sitting inside an office typing away. Until one friendly lady started banging her way in and eventually I recruited her to volunteer for SFJAZZ. Doing pretty well here so far!

Come on by for a visit, you know you want to.

Congratulations on revitalizing your blog. On my blog :-), I find comments and traffic in general is directly proportional to how much I comment on and link to other people's blogs. You can also add your blog posts to your fb feed. Hurray, and happy introspection!

Hey Rick! Sounds like a good move for you (did they put the BO people in your war room?). I'm working in a middle school now in WY but I LOVE it. Keep up the blogging and I'll pop by and say "hi" when I can.

All the best,
Jennifer Bruns

So happy your blog is back, it's the only one I really read anyway! Congrats on your new location. Remember when I was there (over a year ago) and you had a meeting with the designer, I bet you picked at your own location where your desk looks out over the bridge...ha!
(I think I need a beer).

Now if you can only find a way to get AOL to purchase your blog for 300 million...

Hey Swicky Ricky, good to see your blog again, and congrats on the cool office. Yeah, I don't think I've had a "window seat" either, although I recently had the option and turned it down for a couple reasons. Love you, 'Ria
