A great event and a reminder that the Web doesn't forget

It's funny how sometimes your personal and work lives can intersect. Yesterday I got an email at my work address from a PR person inviting me to a fundraising event for the Colorado Children’s Immunization Coalition. Normally, that's not that unusual. But in this case, since I work in California and live in Colorado, it was strange to get the email at work. 
 
I was also reminded how anything that you put out on the Web is there for the long haul. I had assumed that I got the email because I used to run a site for Colorado Beer News. So, I emailed the PR person back and said thanks for the invite but I'm no longer running the site, and I don't think my personal blog will generate much traffic to the event.
 
It turns out that she really did her research and found that I briefly wrote for Examiner.com as the Denver Beer Examiner. The PR person found this, and then googled me and found my work address that way. Since I'm pretty sure that I'm the only Justinian Hatfield in the Universe, it was a pretty safe bet that we were one in the same. 
 
Anyway since she did all that work, I told her that I'd go ahead and post the event on my blog, so here it is:
