Dear Friends & Family,
The office crew has noted that I'm getting a lot more work done since the garden froze. It's true. An office garden is good for exercise and mental chillout but lousy for meetings and paperwork. I'll give a nod to my obsession this weekend, though, with a visit to Red Butte Garden's winter open house. (See below.) FOR CATALYST READERS ONLY: Buy an annual membership (makes a good gift!) and get $5 off, plus a peat pot you get to plant there. SAY YOU'RE A CATALYST READER at the front desk when purchasing a membership. Go here http://www.redbuttegarden.org
A first for CATALYST: Next Thursday we will be at downtown's newest club, Zest, for dinner, drinks, dancing. See below. It should be good. Come help make it so. See below for details.
A new CAT comes out TOMORROW, Friday. It's a brave one, as you'll soon see. Let me know what you think. You'll find it online in both HTML and Flip-Through format, or at newsstands around the valley starting this weekend.

Thank you!
