I can't make this stuff up!

My boss called yesterday and asked for my help finding a national architectural firm to joint venture for a large speciality project in our state.  As he described it I immediately thought of "HOK" (the nation's largest firm) who happened to do a lot of these projects.  So he leaves a message with me today that says that he did contact "KO Architects" and made a deal with them.  I'm thinking "Oh Crap! That is not who I said!"  So I look on line and sure enough this firm in Iowa does the kind of projects we need help with.

But Wait! There's more!

Come to find out This firm tried for the Master Plan of this SAME project, but were turned down because they did not have a local firm with them!

How crazy is that!
