Event description
Hey, Los Angeles! Now you can get some wings with your networking! (Or make your own pun about Biznik taking wing, and insert here.)
When we met at the most recent L.A. monthly mixer at Jerry's, we talked about how great it was that all these cool people are coming out to meet and mingle, and how it would be even cooler if we could do it more often.
So Nick suggested the San Francisco Saloon on the Westside—a little easier for Eastsiders to access, plus great wings and a personal connection—and Colleen said "Hey! I love wings!" and a new event was born.
Come out and meet us for wings and/or drinks and definitely conversation; bring business cards and maybe a question that you've been struggling with. Yes, you're an indie biz person in L.A., but no, you're not alone. And we can guarantee you'll make at least two new friends if you show up on Tuesday!
No charge except for very reasonably priced wings and whatever you want to drink. Street parking available.
Let's keep spreading the Biznik spirit and mingle over a plate of buffalo wings.

Posted by Mike Browne, Long Beach, California | Jul 27, 2009I remember when the place across the street was "Kelbo's". They would serve huge bowls of fruity alcohol consumed with 2 foot straws. Things are a little different over there now.

Posted by Larry Greenfield, Los Angeles, California | Jul 28, 2009This should be fun, and it's actually close enough to where my a$$ is usually parked that I should be able to make it on time!

Posted by Scott R. Miller, Los Angeles, California | Jul 30, 2009So...is this Wing Event on the 4th taking the place of the Wing Event on the 12th, or am I attending two separate events and getting twice my recommended daily allowance of Wings for this month?
-
Posted by Colleen Wainwright, Los Angeles, California | Jul 30, 2009
Haha.
TWO events this month, baby. And more where that came from, I hope (although it would be nice to have them spread out through the month).
The monthly meetup is the following Wednesday (the 12th) at Jerry's. Please join us there, too!

Posted by Bonnie Gillespie, Los Angeles, California | Jul 30, 2009I'm putting in a yes without being sure whether I can make it. I have an event later that evening and I'm headed out of town so things might get crunched. But for now, I'll say yes and come back and update if I can't swing it. :)
Thanks for setting this up!
-
Posted by Colleen Wainwright, Los Angeles, California | Jul 30, 2009
Well, folks, we are FULL UP. And since we want to be respectful to the venue owners and any other Bizniks who might be forlorn b/c they didn't sign up soon enough, if you find you can't make it, PLEASE do like Miz Bonnie and change your attendance status.
Thanks, and looking forward to seeing all y'all!

Posted by Linda Marshall-Smith, Los Angeles, California | Aug 03, 2009I just saw "The Ugly Truth," which takes place in Sacramento. However, there is a scene where they're indulging in libations at The San Francisco Saloon! LOL Small world.

its almost here, did you hear?

Posted by Mark Harmel, Los Angeles, California | Aug 05, 2009The "Wing Thing" was great even though I ate tacos. Met my PFTA connection Jeanne Schad. http://bit.ly/48yGob It only took us 30 min. to figure it out!

Posted by Dyana Valentine, Santa Monica, California | Aug 05, 2009
That was FUN!! Thank you all. I look forward to connecting with those I didn't have the time to last night. Send me a request to "add to network" if we aren't already networked here on biznik. The 3 actions/day on the basic biznik membership keeps me from connecting as quickly as I like to:) Have a rocking week!

Posted by Joanna Holden, Los Angeles, California | Aug 05, 2009ah man! i missed this....i'm gonna make next months :)
