Andy Lark Alias RA & Italian

Sun Microsystem's Global VP of Communications Andy Lark suggested we go for dinner at Bistro Don Giovanni last night, a fabulous Italian eatery in the center of Napa along Route 29.

Andy did this morning's Blog University keynote....Forbes.com already picked it up. He recently posted an interesting write-up on the Gartner Meta acquisition - check it out.

What a great occasion to meet and hang out with Andy for the first time - over wine and great food in Napa Valley. He's fascinating to listen to and one would think he had twenty ventures going simultaneously after hearing about his numerous passions.

Here's a wonderful post dinner shot of Andy, me, Elisa Camahort, and Six Apart's Director of Marketing Deborah Shultz.

Poor Andy - I kept referring to him as the Sun Guy all night until Deb suggested I might want to start calling him Andy. Frankly, I think telling the hostess that our reservation was for the Sun God himself helped us get a table. I have a new nickname for Andy - RA, which is short for Sun Ra (the Sun God).....you know - Saturn, the web home of Sun Ra and his protean Arkestra.
