Go Nuts and Eat Injera

We're gearing up for the Richmond Flying Squirrels to take the field, now that baseball is back in Richmond. And last week, we attended the Creative Change Center's monthly Breakfast Club, held at the Diamond, where we learned more about the updates and changes the Flying Squirrels have brought to make the Diamond a more "funn" place to be. Having fun is their philosophy and have incorporated "funn" into their marketing messaging and overall sense of doing things at the park. Why the 2 "n"s you say? Well, their phone number is 359-FUNN, so there you go. Just try to forget it - you can't. We also got to meet Nutzy, the mascot!

In other news, we met with a potential client who just happens to be a local Ethiopian Restaurant. If you've never tried Ethiopian food, I would recommend trying it, at least once. We sampled the restaurants offerings of sambussas, katenya, keye sega wot, chicken tibs, a wonderfully spicy salad and a vegetarian combination platter. The entrees are served on a big platter, so that everyone at the table can share, and yes, you eat with your hands! Well, you have rolls of injera bread that you use as your utensil. And the injera bread has the most interesting texture - almost spongy, yet light, and is naturally almost 100% gluten free. We learned so much about Ethiopian culture in just an hour and a half, including a story about the Queen of Sheba and one about Ethiopian coffee.
