Other than me OD’ing on Chow Mein, the inscrutable General’s chicken, and Dragon Punch (thanks goes to Charina Pitzel for the recipe: 1 part Bacardi Dragon Berry Rum, 2 parts ginger ale, 1 part unsweetened cranberry juice, add lime wedges) our party was a hit. Thanks to everybody who came. It was great fun.

Below the fold is the gallery of our portrait shots (thanks to Mike Anitas at Vine Studios). We totally expect to see these in the party-poop section in the back of Details magazine.

Thursday, January 26. 6 to 8pm. Here at Q&A world headquarters on Seattle’s Capitol Hill.

A couple days fashionably late ( we got the dragon decorations half price!). There will be food, booze and Jackie Chan movies.

Just so’s you know: The dragon (龍) is luckiest of all the signs in the Chinese zodiac. Let’s face it we all need a little luck. And this year marks the year of the water dragon and this dragon is heavy with yin — wisdom and calm. I know it doesn’t sound much like a presidential election year, but we hope our magical little aquatic reptile buddy will help pull us through.

Stop by. Have some dragon punch. Gung Hay Fat Choy!

My, how time flies. This year, and for the first time, the campaign went 90% digital (only printed check stuffers this year). No direct mailers or mailed certificates. Almost everything, including database, is 100% through the WordPress website we designed for Consolidated in 2011. A much lower carbon footprint and much higher ease of management. The electrons are still fresh and the campaign is on-going so we do not have any analytics or numbers as of yet. Our fingers are crossed.

And so every year for a decade we’ve been honored to produce their annual report.
