Brett Henrichsen started his career as a marketing specialist for IBM. But at night he was in the clubs and record stores listening to dance music. He used the (then expensive) burners at IBM to make custom CD's for his friends of his favorite music. As he learned the general public couldn't buy the remixes they were hearing in the clubs, he decided to sell those compilations. From that idea an empire grew which includes the original Masterbeat CD series, New Year's Eve events, an international circuit DJ and now the web's greatest online dance music store - www.masterbeat.com

The Corporate Closet
As my group settled into our seats at Hamburger Mary's in Ybor on New Year's Eve, I was struck by the odd presence of Auburn University paraphernalia. For a moment, I was back on campus of my alma mater. Everywhere I looked, I saw Auburn shirts, hats, flags, pins – a veritable sea of orange and blue. Someone finally clued me in that Auburn was playing in the Outback Bowl.

Congratulations to Kennedy Davenport, the new Miss Revolution 2010. I had the pleasure of sitting down with this goddess from Dallas TX (currently residing in Fort Lauderdale) and found out that this beauty has her “A” game on at all times. Miss Davenport has many titles, including Miss Black US of A, Miss Gaybor and now Miss Revolutions 2010. Miss Davenport is a Virgo and loves the color blue, and as I helped her put on her bracelet she lets me know she has been in the business since 1997 and does not plan to stop anytime soon. All my love to her and I wish her all success.

A Loss For Words
When I don't know a lot of people in the crowd, it is my common M.O. to drink until I think I'm funny. Recently while attending an afternoon party, riding that fine line between too-sober-to-relax and too-drunk-to-form-sentences became increasingly difficult when I met an attractive man who is very much my type. About two hours and six cocktails into the day, I muster the ability to speak and, surprisingly, we hit it off quite well. Before parting ways, I asked if I will see him out that night and am elated when he agrees.

Upon sitting down with Dr. Max Zaslavsky we had an immediate bond, not only because of his inviting smile but because we both received our graduate degrees from the same university, and are also both from Brooklyn, NY. “Dr. Max” is friendly, charming, and easy to talk to, which are three key ingredients that are important when you are looking for a dentist. After chatting about our university days and growing up in the NY area, it was a pleasure to conduct this one on one interview with a dentist that truly cares about his patients.

A bout six months ago I met with the mayor of Fort Lauderdale, Jack Seiler, at my home in Parkland. He told me that the city of Fort Lauderdale wanted to name a street after me. I suggested that this event take place sometime in May because that would be the 50th anniversary of the filming of the movie Where the Boys Are and that my name and Where the Boys Are were synonymous; that 75% of the time when I meet people they always say ...
