It was a day not unlike nearly every day lately...dark, dreary...but in February, when I was
scheduled to participate as one of three panelist in the ULI Real Estate Roulette, a candid back room discussion about the various inner workings of all things real estate in the Oklahoma City Metro.
Mother Nature spoke her piece about my going, and unfortunately I was unable to participate.
I've been given a shot at it once again, and will be joining family friend and the "kid brother" of one of my old running buddies, along with a seasoned local journalist and downtown expert. Respectively (and respectfully), that's Blair Humphreys, Master in City Planning and Urban Design from MIT, who runs one of my favorite local industry blogs,
imagiNATIVEamerica, and Steve Lackmeyer, downtown reporter for
NewsOK and writer of another of my favorite blogs,
OKC Central.
As described at ULI's registration page for the event:
Some of the best insights about OKC Real Estate and Urban Planning are found on the web! Now three very popular BLOGGERS join us up-close and in-person! This will be a candid "back room" event -- not the usual Yada Yada.
From the looks of the "
Who's Attending" list, it should be an interesting night of dialog and insight, to which I look forward, and for which I'm grateful to be a part of.
At the very least, it'll be better than being in the storm shelter for the evening.
