    The idea sounds interesting, but without time and location it`s difficult to commit.

    I think it`s a great idea.  Unfortunately, I`m not able to come.  A monthly gathering would be great so you always know there is an event coming up and you can plan for it.

    Hello,
    I would be willing to attend.  It sounds like a good idea to me.

    OK. We`ve settled on Pasquale`s on Woodward. Tuesday March 20th starting at 6pm.

    If you can`t make it till 7 or 8 come anyway. We`ll still be
    there. They close at 11 so that would be too late. We`ll post
    directions to Joel`s house for those who can`t make it before 11. Jus
    kiddin dude.

    We need a prize for the person who comes the farthest. So far I`ve hear
    Kazoo and one person from Cinci actually considering making the trip.
    Let`s put it this way... I`ve traveled farther for less value.

    I just had a great idea. How about everyone bring a business book that
    has value but that you wouldn`t mind recycling. (Don`t everyone show up
    with a copy of Startup Nation - Open for Business .
    Just kidding, Rich. I wouldn`t trade mine for a million dollars.) What
    do you think? Might be fun and you never know what you might learn.

    As long as I don`t have any pet emergencies that day I have it on my schedule to leave at 7:30 so I`ll be there by 8.  Unfortunately, I can`t come any earlier than that. Another idea, I`m sure everyone`s thought of it, bring business cards to trade.  In my industry (pet care and training) I always have clients asking if I know of a good _______ .  There are also business services that I could use personally and it would be nice to know of more people in the area.  I hate opening the phone book and guessing who will take care of what I need.  We moved here from kentucky two years ago, and although I know my way around I don`t know business people like I did before the move.  I look forward to meeting everyone, and if anyone wants to be able to recognize me, I`ll be the one with the service dog in the blue vest with the smile on his face.  AngelI`m so excited about this.  I think it will be a fantastic experience.

    Sounds good.....I think the business book is a good idea, too...hope to see you all then next Tuesday!

    We`re meeting at Pasquale`s on Woodward. Tuesday March 20th starting at 6pm.

    See page five of this thread
    for my idea about bringing a business book to swap with someone. Bring
    lots of business cards and I`ll bring a case of the best tasting gluten
    free cookies available in America today (at least that`s what I`ve been
    told).

    Steve -
    Do you have a rough headcount as to how many people have said they`d be there next Tuesday?
    I`m still trying to work out my schedule so I can be there.

    I am new to all of this, but on this short of notice Border`s Books sounds a lot more feasible than cavorting to Lost Vegas for the day.Border`s I could make. Let me know where and when.Thanks for the invite2putt
