ANET Puts the Madness in March Madness Published on 3/25/2003 - Page 1 of 2

CHICAGO – The United Center's Brew Pub was the scene for the second-annual ANET March Madness kickoff party. Complete with drink specials, an after-work buffet and televised first-round action of the NCAA basketball tournament, everyone was prepared to either put up or shut up their tournament selections. Disclosure: ANET is the Web hosting provider of ePrairie.

Such a great sign. It was missing something, though. I can't quite place it. Let me think for a second...
That's what was missing! Here are Luvabulls Gloria (left) and Noelle (right) hanging out with ANET at the United Center Brew Pub.
ANET reps Ben Liggett (left) and Lauren Dimet (right) welcomed everyone to the festivities.
ePrairie's Brad Spirrison (left) and T.J. Shanoff (right) of Sports News Radio pondered the question of beer or rum. Oh Captain, my Captain.

My man Lou Calamaras of ePrairie hanged with my new friend Ania Gizowski of Pre-Paid Legal Services. Hey, Lou. I said she is my friend.

The lovely Julian and Sofia (a previous selection for one of ePrairie's 10 Most Beautiful Women in Chicago Technology, which is back in full force this year) helped to get people signed in for the event. Aren't they just the cutest?
Here, Charter One sales manager Pete Montagna (right) and Jeffrey Wojnar (left) sweet talked the Luvabulls.
When I think style, I think ANET.
