From the pictures, it looks like it was a fantastic event. Thanks to everyone who helped pull the event off and a special thanks to Katrina for keeping us in touch via this website. As for my update, I'm a patent attorney, and I recently accepted a position with Microsoft here in the DC area by the Patent Office. It should be a nice change of pace from the large law firm world. My wife of five-and-a-half years is still in her second year of medical school in Norfolk (three hours away from here), but we're hopeful that she'll be accepted for transfer into one of the DC area medical schools for her third and fourth years. Otherwise, she'll continue to live (if you can call medical school living) in our condo while the three dogs and I live like pseudo-bachelors in our townhouse until she has her MD and matches with a residency up here. A few pictures of us are available at our very unimpressive website (www.MacLaneKey.com). I f you're coming to the DC area for business or pleasure, feel free to let me know.

My partner and I have a record label, called Graceside Records, Inc. We currently have 2 rap groups under us. Drama Life and DOA... Drama Life is our meat and potatoes right now. Just in this past year we have got them shows in New York, LA, New Orleans, Seattle, Dallas and LasVegas. Currently, we are working with Blue Light Entertainment. They are associated with Mowtown Records. While we were in LA , two months ago, the group performed at a nightclub, called The Garden of Eden. Two reps, from Blue Light, were there and loved what they saw. We have been in contact with them ever since. We are flying out to New York next month to meet with them, hoping to sign a contract. The groups last performance, here in Omaha, was at McCormicks. In which, they were one of three groups, who opened up for the Snoop Doggy Dogg concert five months back. I have NO kids, I do have a girlfriend, her name is Chinyere Nwuju. She is 20 years old and is in college, majoring in Architecture. We hope to marry in the upcoming year.
