This is the moment that Rackspace is awarded the coveted entrepreneur of the year award for 2007.  Notice the look of satisfaction on Graham's face.  This award has been a  long time coming.

Here are the guys accepting the award, and throwing a glance at the Rackspace table to give Eva and I a chance at a couple of pics. :)

Blurry shot of Dirk explaining how we did what we did when all others in the industry were telling us that we were wrong...  preach it Dirk!

Sorry.. Point and shoots don't do so well in long distance low light.

This is a really proud moment for Rackspace.

dscf0386.jpg:
We've really been working at this for years... and some really big recognition is coming our way now. (these close ups are of a large screen projector..  sorry for the image quality)

Dirk saying some more words w/Pat looking on... (sorry for the annoying flower arrangement.. I couldn't GIMP it out of the shot).

Now Pat's chance at the Mic.

Graham's so humble.  Maybe that's why I love seeing him see him in these types of scenarios.

In sharing what Rackspace is all about...
He emphasized that it was all about us.. the Rackers..

The Trophy Shot...
The guys really did us proud!

dscf0395.jpg:
As we were sitting around the table finishing dessert, looking at the trophy, Dirk actually took a pic of the trophy, sent it to his Wordpress blog, and was blogging in real time.. hehe.. what a geek! ;)

These two are a couple of FROGS (Friends of Graham's) from Ernst & Young, Kevin Abbott and his lovely wife.

"The Guys" from the Rackspace table all around, myself "Tweeks" included.

It was a special night... and really felt nice to be honored by the Austin/SA Entrepreneur community.  Cool stuff.

I think they're talking about our chances at winning the nationals.. ;)

dscf0402.jpg:
Me and my lovely wife Teri.. aka "Mrs. Tweeks", as some Rackers have dubbed her.

Without her support, I don't think I could have made it through the early days at the Rack.  Graham says the same of his lovely wife Elizabeth.  Here's to "Racker Wives"!  Thanks gals!
