Event description
Lets go for a brief lunchtime hike, and pass business cards up at that spooky house! Bring a sack lunch. (And maybe an umbrella. This is Portland, after all.)
There is onstreet parking on Upshur, and then you have to walk down the big big stairs to get to the trailhead. The hike to the stone house is 15-20 minutes of light walking, and we can sit and have lunch while we chat about who we are, and what we do!

Now this is my kind of networking! See you in March. (Hey Caelan, you aren't related to Cherie are you? Maybe a coincidence ... she worked for Liberty too.)

I'm bummed - this sounds like such a fun idea (blasted prior commitments)! Have fun, y'all - and enjoy the weather, whatever it may be!

In Portland, you get used to hiking in the rain. (Or you hide for half the year.) If you're hardy enough for sales and networking, I'm sure you're hardy enough for a little rain in the forest!

This was a fabulous idea and a perfect day for it. I was so happy to make new connections with such a great group of people - I'd definitely attend another!

This is truly networking that "doesn't suck", as biznik promieses! :-)
Thanks for organizing it, Caelen. I'm looking forward to the Brad's event on the 19th...and, in my own neighborhood! -

Great getting out of my garret and meeting you folks. Made me re-think my assessment of Biznet. Caelan, thanks for organizing this.

So enjoyed this creative idea and connecting with everyone. Great weather and great company. Let's do another! :)

Hear, Hear! Caelan, this was a wonderful event, and I predict they'll be many imitators as the weather improves.
BUT, you will always be the original.
What a wonderful opportunity to meet new entrepreneurs and really connect on a meaningful level. It was also a opportunity to get some exercise and appreciate the rich, lush beauty of our State's parks.
Thank you, Caelan. Brilliant.

Posted by Michelle Gurule, Portland, Oregon | Mar 10, 2009Sorry to have missed it -- and what perfect weather! I'm not familiar with the area, so I drove around for about half an hour. (Evidently I didn't get good directions.) I tried calling numbers listed on Biznik, but nobody had their cellphones handy!
I look forward to another similar event soon. In the meantime, I hope to meet Biznik members.

Michelle, too bad you missed the hike. I'm surprised I didn't bump into you, as I was driving around looking too. Fortunately, I asked someone I saw walking, where the trail head was, so I got caught up. Was kicking myself for not getting a phone number.
I hope you make it next time and that our intermittent snow this week will be a thing of the past!

Hi Michelle, So sorry you missed the fun. I didn't know where it was either, but Google helped me, thankfully. It's actually closer to NW 29th Ave & Upshur. We'll just have to do another networking hike!
