HI Rags I haven't seen you for awhile! Yes, I know the importance of flirting or convincing clients to buy on what I'm selling- ad space.

I'm ready to Rock n Roll at the Mastermind Friday the 13th! Yes, I like to offer my marketing ideas.

Hi Marco/ Craig

Sorry I have to cancel last min. since I'm feeling under the weather. I hope to come next time to meet you two!

I used to live on N. Beacon Hill and my dry cleaners 3 Bros. are across the street. They have a small gift shop inside, that has great prices! This spot used to be a Japanese Take out joint called Hiros. Now Hiro's wife is cooking at the Japanese rest. Tsukushimbo on 6th and Main st. She also used to be one of my clients. On the same block is a nice coffee shop next door, if you want to continue the conversation. I also got a haircut recently from the Filipino hairdresser on the same block. They take Walk-ins if you like to get your haircut.

Hi Johnna & Molly

I missed this event since I wasn't looking the week before (was getting over a bad cold and had to do other large events like the NAAAP Career Expo, and our NW Asian Weekly Women of Color Empowered Luncheon last Fri).

I hope you will do this again since the location is good for me since I work in the ID/Chinatown area.

Sorry I have to cancel today. I'm putting together last min. things as one of the Volunteer Coordinators, for the Sea. Cherry Blossom and Japanese Cultural Festival for this weekend. Apr. 17-19 at Seattle Center. For those seeing this msg, please come on down! It's free and everything you want to know about Japanese culture. I'm also performing Sun. at Center Hse. at 3pm. I hope to come next time when I have more free time.

HI Michele Sounds like fun and so organized in giving to charities. I'm stuck with doing my taxes these days before next wk's deadline and also planning for the Sea. Cherry Blossom Fest (Apr 17-19)- At Seattle Center. Do you plan to have more Happy Hr's in Renton?

Hi Lara, Dan and Everyone

I'm a maybe. Will you be having future Happy Hours at Fremont Studios? I really enjoyed the Oscar Bash there! I'll see how far I get in doing my taxes before Apr. 15th D-Day! I don't want to do the extension.

Hi All Sorry I was sick today and missed the event. I hope to catch people at other Biznik workshops or events. You can also send me an Invite to join your network!

HI Dani/ Debbie

Sorry, It's started to snow heavily in Renton (2pm) where I live and I have still have this bad cold. I will need to come to your next Networking event some other time or when the weather clears I'll be happy to visit you at your offices for tea. I've been accepted into the EDI (Exec. Dev. Institute) Leadership Program this year with a partial scholarship, that also offers networking workshops. I want to host a networking event or Happy Hr in Chinatown at Bush Gardens sometime. Anyone reading this let me know if you are interested in coming down to Chinatown/ID!

Hi everyone

My first Renton Lunch with Biznik since I just joined end of Jan. and been going to several workshops. I live in Renton, up the hill, so it's perfect location!

I'm a movie buff and love to dress up for my first Oscar party and mix with other movie buffs or filmmakers! Ladies, please stud your stuff and wear your nicest party dress or gown and flashy jewelry. I'll be wearing my imitation that looks real jewelry.. For the API Celebration in May I have to put together a program of independent Asian American films. Please email me if you are interested and are a filmmaker.

I'm hoping to meet some new Biznik faces since I just joined last month. My first Happy hr.

Sorry to have missed this interesting workshop. I have to go to traffic court today in the afternoon since my car got stolen in Nov. and have to fight them for the parking ticket. I hope to catch more workshops/networking events with you!

Hi Daryl

Even though I have a marketing degree, I still need the sales training, motivation and inspiration. I'll pass along the inspiration to others.
