Welcome to the August 2006 wrap-up edition of the McCartney.com newsletter.
(created by Martin Nethercutt)
Hello and welcome to the overdue edition of the August 2006 newsletter. I wasn't joking when I reported last month that it was the busiest time in our 10 year corporate history! This time, I'm writing to you from the road. We are at The Sanctuary on CamelBack in Paradise Valley, Arizona, more about the property and its fabulous Elements Restaurant next month. So without any further fanfare....here we go.
 DaVinci Institute presents: MySpace Boot Camp.
Denver, CO
Our trip to Boulder was an exercise in patience with regard to the challenges of air travel today. We found ourselves in Boulder, CO at the same time the John Mark Karr / Jon Benet Ramsey story started to develop. We left LAX for Denver Airport on August 17th. Apparently our luggage did not. Anyhow - that's another story...so, wearing our best new Target outfits, we presented an overview of iFanz at the participants of the DaVinci Institute's "MySpace Boot Camp". It was a very informative day with detailed instructions on how to use MySpace as a potential marketing platform for individuals as well as small business.
We'd like to thank all the participants for inspiring us and for having the patience to listen to us online geeks. Thanks especially to Deb and Thomas Frey for hosting a very exciting event and for their charming hospitality, catered by Chef Kyler Frey at their home. Thanks to all in Colorado!!!

 Minotaure Restaurant in Playa Del Rey, is the new favorite hang out of the McCartney crew. A romantic and intimate Spanish tapas restaurant with superb food and very friendly service. Regina, Frank, Leila and Kevin will help you wind down after a hectic day at the office.
Minotaure Tapas Restaurant & Wine Bar owners Frank Sadeghian and Regina Huber met, fell in love and married, in a city foreign to both of them: Guadalajara, Mexico.
Their lives took many strange turns before they eventually met, ironically enough, in the homeland of their Executive Chef, the renowned Severiano Morales from Guanajuato, Mexico.
LtoR: Rory Crawford (Director of Australian Opertations),
Christian Volquartz (Director of Operations McCartney.com),
Martin Nethercutt (President McCartney Multimedia, Inc.)
Angie McCartney and Pat Healy (Filmmaker extraordinaire).
Before this, Regina managed a beautiful boutique hotel in Switzerland. She also spent much time in Spain, learning the language, experiencing the culture and...discovering the delectable Spanish specialty cuisine of Tapas.
At the same time, Frank, a born entrepreneur, was opening restaurants in Great Britain and Los Angeles, then expanding into furniture design with a showroom in West Hollywood, California and manufacturing in Guadalajara, the Mexican city of artists and craftsmen. If Regina Huber had not been vacationing there at that time...well, there would probably be no Minotaure Tapas Restaurant & Wine Bar in Playa Del Rey, California, today.
