Eager to hear about mb's deal with LexisNexis for AvantGuild members, freelancers made the trip to Katra. This Moroccan-themed haven served as a comfortable oasis from the late winter snow. Dorian Benkoil, mb's editorial director, showed everyone the ins and outs of LexisNexis, and hostesses Lisa Gill and Aimee Rinehart kept the conversations flowing all night long.
