  Looks like we are going to have a great turn out! I look forward to seeing everyone.

  I may end up being a little late, as my wife is being sworn in as a US Citizen today at 2pm.

  Sorry, but I've had something last minute come up that is going to demand my attention until early evening (darn those deadlines). I look forward to meeting many of you at another event.

  Thanks to everyone who showed up! I had a great time meeting some new people, seeing some friends and getting to actually meet people I've been working with through the net for over a year!

  It's interesting to see that each time we have an event that different people show up. This time most people showed up early and left early - last time many people showed up later and stayed later.

  If anyone has any suggestions on how these events can be more fun and/or productive - I'd love to hear them. I'm one of those strange people that love criticism.

  BTW - Dr. Daren Penry, Owner of Lakeview Center Chiropractic in Kirkland was the winner of the free 1/8 page ad in Eastside Business newspaper.

  We're going to have this same type of event again in two weeks if anyone is interested.

  Thanks, Joe, for another warm and wonderful get together! It was grand to connect with fellow bizniks at KOI this afternoon. Your gracious attitude and inclusive demeanor makes for a dynamic meet-&-greet! Till next time. . . ~Cyndie
