Celebrating an end to "Hello, My Name Is..." stickers

I'd love to get my name badge! But...I'm hosting my own event this evening.

Hmm, I may try to swing by afterwards, if I'm not completely burned out.

Is there another way to pick it up?

Oh fun! I hate sticky-nametags. They always end up in my hair.

I would love to come but I have an early morning meeting in Portland on Wednesday. Will you be doing a meeting in Portland as well?

I also prefer magnetic name badges. Maybe have that as an option. Is that possible?

One word: cool! (Okay, three words.)

Would have loved to make it, but don't see that happening. How can we get our badge otherwise??

Shoot, can't make it. Please let us know of an alternate pickup time/place.

I must have my own badge.

Sweet! Finally, I'm gonna be somebody! :)

Hey Lara, Thanks for hosting. Can't wait to get my name badge! Jill

Looking to be a great event, may I bring a guest? I have some friends interested in learning more about BizNik :)

Yeah! My Own Name Badge that I Won't be Afraid to Wear in Public!!!!

Awesome!

These badges are a great idea, I cant make it but looking forward to finding out how to get my new badge.... 3 events this week with the classic paper "Hello My Name is ..." Time to get some status badges...

I'm going to miss going to Office Max for those swanky "hello" name tags....

Awesome event, Dan and Lara! I knew the name tags were in the works and so excited you've finally rolled them out :-)

I regret I cannot make it, but super-excited to give them out with Lori Richardson to Pro Members here in Portland.

Thanks for explaining the sponsorship option. I want that was!

I'm jazzed about the name tags, but Tuesday evening Rep. McDermott is holding a Town Hall meeting at Meany Hall on health care. Given how much crazy response there's been around the country to these meetings, I feel some of us have to go and offer something sane. Hope there's another chance to get my tag.

Thanks Lara for the update. I'm so glad Lori is bringing name tags for the Portland and Vancouver areas, and for those who cannot make Lori's event in Portland, I will host another opportunity to get the badges to them.

This sounds like a great event. I'm sorry to have to miss it!

Here's a little security tip for all our new Badge Carrying Biznik members: If you keep your name badge in your car, put it in a lidded box in the trunk, along with anything else that might identify you. Theives are targeting cars for mail and stuff that gives them an opportunity steal your identity.

While you're at it, just clean out your car! Of course by now you've stopped leaving your cameras, cell phones, GPS system, and stuff you just bought at the store anywhere they can be seen by theives looking for stuff to steal.

I look forward to picking up my name badge, meeting you all, and being impressed by your non-victim, clean and lovely cars at a future event.

Cool, just before I leave Seattle. I was wishing for an event like this with lots of Biznikers.

Oh, I can't go! Do it again, willya?

Hiya and thanks for such a cool idea for all of us.

Lovin' it. Don't know if I'll have time between appointments to swing by but I'll do my best. If not I'll have to postpone it and wait for another opportunity.

Darn, I have nothing to wear that matches my name tag........bye now I'm going shopping :)

Would love to attend, unfortunately I have a board meeting at the same time. Can I get more information about the new features at a later date as well as my new badge? I love these events!

I'll be there. I don't know if I'll be on the Eastside coming TO the event (that's what I'm thinking), and I definitely will be going BACK to the Eastside afterwards. SOOO... in the interest of saving the planet, if anyone wants to meet me at the South Kirkland P&R before the event and carpool (so we can get in the 3-person carpool lane coming across 520 and wave at the Microsofties as we pass) -- please let me know!

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

This will be my first Biznik event. Looking forward to it. Be gentle. ;-) Michael Schuett

Thank you for explaining the sponsorship! I am looking forward to using this feature and getting the oh so cool official name tag. Thanks for hosting this rockin' event.

David- what time you planning on heading over/back?

Eastside carpool saving the planet will probably leave the South Kirkland Park and Ride (P&R shortly before 5, and leave at about 8, which should put us back on the eastside about 8:15... but I can be flexible. These events rock so hard that I like to have EVERY instant of every minute to network...

Call me and tell me what time you need to go and be back... two oh six six OH! five two oh tutu... Dave Kuhns, writer, web content consultant, Seattle Green Living Examiner cyran@cyranowriter.com http://www.cyranowriter.com

This precludes me from one of my favorite pranks: the sticky name tag printed with "Hello, My Name Is"....onto which I write: Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Most Bizniks recognize this famous movie quote immediately and usually give me a bemused smile, but there seems to be one at every event that sidles up and says "So...uh... Inigo...or is it Ineeego? what business are YOU in?"

To which I often simply reply "Revenge" - to the snickers of informed bystanders...

So, yeah, a bittersweet farewell to the sticky nametag.

I just watched that movie last night with my niece. leaving for the park and ride if anyone wants to carpool. Dave 206-605-2022

Well - just got my last-minute comeuppance and can't really make it now...didn't realize it would be over by 8...sorry to miss you guys and hope it went well...

Great event! Met new and old peeps, while getting to know a great new venue! Huzzah!

Nice event! Cool to meet new people :-) The only thing I'd change is to have the music just a little lower in volume so we are not shouting at each other.

Lara, Thanks again for another great Biznik event. I guess I am starting to get around as a lot of the people attending recognized me.

Thanks for putting the whole Biznik construct together. I love what you guys are going.

Mike Carpenter

Great event! I have now been to enough events and met enough people that I am now getting to network the way networking should be done - introduced a handful of people to each other - yaaay!!! The music reminded me of a seminar where they deliberately kept the music up loud to increase everyone's energy and commitment - It worked tonight!

@ Lara I had a bit of a time finding it but eventually I asked some kind sould with a mohawk who helped me quite readily.

Some great introduction were made for sure and I dig my fancy new card.

Cheers!

Lara,

I really enjoyed my first big Biznik event! I met lots of great people and some good business connections.

The music was a little loud and it was hard to hear what some people were saying. I agree with Joyce that it had great energy, but you hate to ask people to repeat themselves.

Love the new I.D. cards, I feel so "official" now!

Heidi Burmeister, Your Marketing Partner

This was a blast. I am glad I finally had a chance to meet you Lara.

I have to agree that the music made it hard to hear conversations with people.

I am looking forward to hearing more about ClubVip. Thanks for the great event last night. I'll load some of the shots I took.

I had a great time at the event and made several good connections. I love my new name badge!
