Thank you for loving music with me to the point that you would work day and night to see (hear) it flourish. The Ark took a brave step forward in your capable hands.

Post-Q winter party (2010), congregating in the office to clean off a massive mirror that Cafe Zola had used to serve food on! Everyone was still all dressed up and bagging up left overs.

“Blaine got a few drinks in me and took me upstairs.” For the next few years, I repeatedly told Ben that no, I did not take Alissa upstairs. Well, we did but it was a just a tour of the apartment.

1st one in the office after an electrical storm, I discovered a fried stat machine. It was blinking, buzzing & smelled like ozone. I was afraid it would attack me before I could unplug it.

Q = "cool", but that so poorly describes them. Q is tops on the "think outside of the box" scale. I love how you can put a face with the name at Q. You can also put a song, a poem, or a catch phrase.

Q came into my life a million years ago when Jocelyn came up with a design plan for the Ann Arbor Film Festival — which was done pro bono because Q is so cool and Tom is so generous.
