Event description

More fun than a barrel of hairy monkeys, the original monthly L.A. Biznik blowout is back again in its November incarnation. Grab your spot before it's gone!

We love Biznik, and we know you will, too, especially once you see how well the one-two networking punch of awesome online resources + great real-life community works.

Come meet up with real, L.A. peeps at our now-regular monthly gathering in the Marina. Networking newbie? No problem! This is the friendliest, lowest-key, funnest (yeah, it's a word...in our world) event around. No speakers, no agenda—just cool, indie business people like yourself gathering to meet, talk, share ideas, blow off steam and build the connections that will change lives.

Okay—that's a little dramatic. How about this: it's networking that is FUN and EASY and FREE!

Join us! Bring your iPhone or crackberry if you can't bear to be away from the email for an hour or so, but bring yourself. We gather on the covered patio, closest to the parking lot. It's getting nice out, so maybe we'll spill out onto the UNcovered patio this time.

There is NO CHARGE to attend; just buy a drink or snack and Mike, our cruise director at Jerry's, will be happy to keep hosting. Bring small bills: we split the check to keep the wear and tear on our waitrons to a minimum.

Heather looks just like her picture, plus cool glasses. Beth looks just like her picture, but probably won't have her dog with her. We'll have name tags, just to make it super-easy. We can't wait to meet you!

DOWN AND DIRTY DEETS:

  • FREE! (but throw our hosts a bone and get yourself a wee something)
  • free parking (and plenty of it!)
  • bring small bills! (we split the check)
  • freeway-friendly (right off the 90!)
  • we're on the side patio
  • did we mention we'd love to meet you? WE WOULD!

    Just joined BizNik in LA, and I'm excited to "meet and mix" on Nov. 18! A good friend in Seattle has been a member for a year -- and if she says this is great, I'm jumping in! I haven't posted my photo or "about me" yet, but will do so right away this week.

    hey guys, there's always starting another mixer in another part of town we can all go to. more active biznik communities [like seattle] have multiple events per day to choose from. all that glory could be ours if more people throw more events!

    for anyone who was not able to rsvp for this mixer, or if you just want more biznik in your life, i'm co-hosting an event with rachel raush johnson, an educational workshop on how to maximize your biznik presence. for some reason it's not loading in the LA events, but here's a link:

    colleen, i saw debra eckerling & dyana valentine with cameras--and of course people were asking where you were. we told them you were beth, who is a smashing host [not surprising from our virgo stock!]. um, i am all ready to set up a december eastside ... sounds like we need more events!
