Hey all,
I usually keep my professional life off this board because I normally don't like to mix work with fun. But I think I have finally found a way to integrate the two! I'm in the Foreign Service community and after 12 years in DC (with a three year stint in Denver for grad school - and skiing), my wife and I are posted to Baku, Azerbaijan! We arrived in July and are loving it here. They do have a ski area in Azerbaijan (Shahdag Mountain resort - www.shahdag.az) but from what I gather, most of the skiing is done in Georgia. You know where to find me this winter!
I saw Warren Miller's recent email blast about this year's upcoming movie release. I saw at the end of the email that they're willing to allow people to independently promote and screen their new movie this winter. I plan on doing that here in Baku. However, I've never promoted anything.
I wanted to reach out to the guy at the Ski Club of DC who promotes the annual Warren Miller film for them. I have a bunch of questions and wanted to try and create a mentor/mentee type relationship for this newbie independent promoter (me). Does anyone know him? I met him briefly last year at the film screening but I cannot remember his name.
I am planning to email the general email inbox at SCWDC as well but I wanted to check here first in case anyone is friends with him and willing to provide an introduction.
Thanks!
