Ed – Awesome!
Arik – Also awesome, and thanks for the suggestions – I’ll put them on the list. If you’d like, you can email me those breakfast spot ideas (rickmahn@gmail.com), I’m starting to look for a venue so this is perfect timing.

This also is giving me a better idea of headcount – I’m thinking of preparing for about 12-15. Not sure if we’ll have that many people show up, but I’d like to have enough room in case.

Rick, I’m interested. Somewhat of a social media rookie, but looking to dive in.
I’d prefer something close to downtown – maybe so Mpls.
Early morning works better for me. Some great breakfast spots in So Mpls. Topics I’d like to see covered: successes in corporate blogging; using facebook as an employee comm tool; how to successfully build employee communities in a health care setting.
I’d also be interested if this falls on a weekend. Good idea, Rick. Glad you’re organizing. I may also know at least one other person who might be interested.

Jason,
Thanks for the tips! Especially tcoriginals.com, since I believe in small biz rather than corp. – I didn’t know about that one. More soon.

Hey Rick,
I am interested.
Here is my answer to the questions I can answer right now.
1. Downtown or Midway please.
2. Midmorning if we do it on weekends, otherwise early mornings on weekdays.
3. WiFi isn’t necessary, but most places I prefer to frequent have it.
4. If we can swing locations that can allow for our outstate folks, that would be great.
5. I say lets keep it local. Maybe we can find a bit of hosting love from our local Twin Cities Originals Restaurants. (tcoriginals.com) I have no connections, but I know many of them make great breakfasts.
6. I’d prefer weekends, but I can swing some weekday too.
7. No topics or speakers pop into my mind right away. We touched on personal branding through social media at Life Camp, that might be a nice topic.

Thanks for thinking about this. Meetups have been on my mind lately.
