Event description

This group has started to grow and I think it might be time for us to again get together and have a beer, some bratwurst, and some good conversation. Maybe even consider making this a monthly tradition if enough people can make it out.

The great thing about Glunz is that it's got plenty of seating, it's never too busy on a Tuesday night, they usually have some really cheap specials ($1 Schlitz last time I was there), and it's an easy walk for me. :)

Everyone is welcome. So grab a friend or two if you want and come check it out.

    Hey Adam, great to have you in the group and RSVP'd for the event. (And thanks for the hand.) Feel free to spread the word around and invite some other people if you want.

    Great idea! I am new to Biznik. Unfortunately I have an event in my store that night. Hopefully next time!

    Don't worry, Eden, I will probably be hosting another event sometime in December to celebrate Christmas. Most of us small entrepreneurs don't really have much in the way of an office Christmas party so I might try to put a little event together for that.

    Good luck with your store's event.

    Great idea. I have quite a hike to get there so I'm going to check back here Tuesday and see how many are coming. Seriously, it's an hour. So, nothing personal AT ALL, but if only 2 people are coming, I'm going to stay home and play Rummy with my kids!

    I missed the other events but I'm not going to miss this one. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

    What kind of dinner-type food do they serve there besides brats?

    It's nice to hear from you again, Nina, and I look forward to seeing you next week. Hope all has been going well.

    As to the Glunz menu, you can see it here:

    It's pretty much traditional German fare: Heavy and perfect for the winter. I'm not 100% sure what their Tuesday night special is so I'll check that out this afternoon and try to post tomorrow so people know what to expect.

    OK, there should be something I like there.

    And let's all raise a toast to the Fall of the Wall!

    FYI: We will most likely have a few non-Biznik members coming to this even so there should be a few more people than are currently on the list.

    Also, if you're coming and have any friends or business acquaintances you'd like to bring along. Feel free. They don't have to be a Biznik member.

    Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow night.

    Sorry to miss again--will be celebrating in Cleveland with family and friends there. Love to see if I can make the pre-Christmas event.

    Have a great time, guys.

    Wish I could make it but I'm already attending another event. I really hope to be free for the next one. Have a great time!

    Sounds like a fun event. Unfortunately have another mtg Tuesday. Hope to make it to the next one. Thanks for the initiative to put things like this on...very important networking time

    Can't make it this time around. Catch up with you guys in December for a Holiday/New Year's get together? Thanks for organizing, Matt!

    The conversation was great, and it was really fun meeting everyone! There are definite advantages to smaller groups although I see this one growing if last night's gathering was any indication. And for people new to networking (not me), this group is a terrific way to start. I was so busy chatting I forgot to eat. Next time.

    Thanks, Matt!

    Ditto what Rickey said. It wasn't networking, it was nice, authentic people getting to know one another in a genuine and natural way.

    Thanks for making it happen Matt. Look forward to another get together soon.

    Uhmmmmm cold beer and hot sausages!
