Event description

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.

Colleen looks just like her picture, if it's five years ago and you're standing on a ladder, looking down at her. Heather looks just like her picture, plus cool glasses. 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!

    I accepted a major onsite contract gig, so I'll miss out on the fun for a few months. Enjoy it for me, and thanks always to Colleen and Heather for organizing!

    Despite the unprecedented amount of networking-type stuff I've been doing of late, it feels like too long since the last Biznik meetup—I'm really excited to see you all on Wednesday!

    Yaaaaay! I had so much fun, I'm still buzzing. Oh, wait—that's the coffee.

    No matter. Any night I stay out until almost 10 means BIG LARGE-SIZED HAIRY FUN. Which this was. Plus so many great ideas.

    Everyone, go sign up for the chicken wing thing!
