(Community Matters) Terrific gathering this evening of many of the Texas Tribune’s major donors at the home of Julie & John Thornton. Of course Editor & Chief/CEO Evan Smith there and spoke as well, though Julia and kids must have been engaged at homework. They are beating money raised, unique hits and syndication metrics/goals.
Lots of friends there. In addtion to our hosts and the CEO, I spent time connecting with Suzanne & Marc Winkelman, Alexa & Blaine Wesner, Amy & Kirk Rudy, Diane Land & Steve Adler, Kevin Lalande, Joe Cunningham, Nona Niland, Ted Whatley, Lisa Owens & Elise Hu. Though I intended to visit with him, I never got to Richard Garriott’s side of the room. I did hear he completely mesmerized folks with his stories about space travel. Interestingly, we were just talking about a couple of these folks as potential TED speakers in Austin this February.
