Dinner at Tiffany’s

I was really excited today; one of my oldest friends was coming to town.

Si and I worked together in the mid 1990s and we’ve been close ever since. She’s a fantastic woman: smart as a whip, caring and with a mind as deep as the Marianas Trench. She’s also a true international glamour girl, equally at home on the streets of New York, gigging in Hyde Park or wandering down some distant beach with the wind in her hair.

She was in town for a meeting and was staying down south but came into the city for dinner. It’s been nearly a year since we were last together but she looked as good as ever and we bonded again over G&Ts before heading down the Mission to Foreign Cinema for a screening of Amelie and dinner.

There we met up with her client M, although those two are thick as thieves and it’s more of a sisterly relationship than a business one. Also along were some Silicon Valley A listers; venture capitalists and tech old(ish) money. All in all very good company, and we all had a good chat which I have to keep off the record for a while – business plans are afoot.

Sadly they are all off back to New York in the morning so we said our goodbyes at midnight and vowed to meet again soon, ideally this summer.
