As an Event Planner I deal w/ hotels and other venues all over the nation on a day to day basis. It is incredible the range of customer service you will find at different place, and how much the climate can change from city to city. Let me just say, that folks in Houston are amazingly helpful and accomodating compared to people in Las Vegas, who unfortuantely for the most part are extremely difficult!! It makes such a difference in my job when I get to deal with someone who knows the importance of customer service, and is genuine in their interaction with me, and the firm I work for, as a client. It’s great that just being around people reminded you of this because that is what is it all about in the end – the people! Stopping to apprecaite relationships and treat them w/ respect and patience, and serving and helping one another when we can. Good post!

I had a similar experience when I visited DC this past summer. As part of the trip, I wanted to see if I could connect with a few folk who work in IT accessibility. So I decided to take a gamble and put out a couple of tweets and such, not expecting much. Before I knew it I was having drinks with ten people who I had never met before, not everyone knowing each other either, yet everyone made me feel right at home. That’s actualy the backstory for me coming to DC in October.

I too only knew her. I had the same experience as you this weekend. It was refreshing to feel at home in a city where I only knew one person.
