Biznik, this is NYC. NYC this is Biznik.

There's been a lot of Biznik activity bubbling up in and around New York City. Let's bring all that energy and enthusiasm together and see how to make it work for us. Since this seems to be our first real event here, it'll be pretty informal. Let's take this time to introduce ourselves and hear what everyone else is up to. We'll brainstorm what we want to do and how to move things forward for Bizniks here.

The venue is Think Coffee, a great independent coffee shop in the NYU area. We have a room just to ourselves downstairs. There's food and drink upstairs, so grab some and come on down and schmooze.

Come prepared to meet other people. Come prepared to talk and listen. Come with ideas about what you want to see happen with Bizniks in NYC. It's our group, so let's make it what we want it to be.

  Hi, Carl, I am going to plan to be there. I won't get there at 7, but will try to be as close as possible.

  I look forward to meeting some other Biznik people!

  Thanks, Cindy

  Well tomorrow's the day. Thanks everyone for your interest. For those of you who will be there, see you tomorrow! For those of you who won't, please keep in touch. This should be the first of many.

  Til then...

  Kudos, Carl. Great event and a good turnout for the first meeting. Lots of different experiences were shared, potential contacts made for mutual interest and support. The community is growing, spread the word!

  I'd like to invite you all to be in my network but am limited to 3 invites per day since not a paying member, so I'll keep adding every day. Thanks for patience.

  Thanks everyone for coming. And thank you to Deborah and David for helping me get things going.

  I had a great time. It's a really good group of people. I'm excited for our next meeting where we'll hopefully get to meet many of you who couldn't make it last night.

  Oh, and stay tuned for David's pictures!

  Hi attendees,

  Just checking if we have an interest in another meeting? I had thought maybe an outdoor meeting in Central Park or Bryant Park (behind the library in midtown) could be nice, especially if the weather cools down a bit.

  Any thoughts?

  Yes, if the weather cools down a bit - Central Park has more shade!
