I'm honored you thought of

I'm honored you thought of me but I have a prior engagement that night. Plus, had you ever driven in a car with me, I'm not sure you'd want me steering anything near you.

Maybe I'll be able to listen in a bit - the prior engagement is really my wife's and I'll be home with children, but I can always tuck them to bed early if they do anything wrong... ha ha. Else I can just broadcast it real loud on the speakers and my kids will all know that I truly am a geek at heart. I'll just have to try and live it down later by besting them in a soccer match by throwing myself in front of a dead-on kick to save the goal... woo-hoo!

Plus, we haven't even had our first meetup yet over here and as much as you all are inspiration (please - no Chicago tunes!), we probably ought to figure out who's who around town before jumping into anything stateside. Still, I'm interested to know what all is discussed if anyone gets a chance to report on it later. But I will try to listen in on Skype and maybe even say "Hi" - else I think there's someway I can record it and listen to it later.

UPDATE: This first meeting

Ryan do you have a date and time in mind?

Dana from Doterati's

ryanprice — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:42:08 -0500

Dana from Doterati's planning committee would love to have us at Monkey Bar (wall st plaza) that Tuesday, Fredda has offered to do something at CoLab if we want, and I guess nobody from United Arts reads this message board.

I'm OK with Tuesday if there's no admission price (looks like the charity auction is not happening). I mean, it's across the street from our regular event!

A combined bash sounds like

R. Alexander Spoerer — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 18:36:05 -0500

A combined bash sounds like an interesting idea. Definitely would bring everyone together. It'd be a great crowd!

Ryan: I would love to talk

DanaDeLapi — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 11:35:10 -0500

Ryan:
I would love to talk to you about having a joint holiday party with doterati. Monkey Bar on Wall Street has donated space for us to hold out event. Please contact me and we can discuss details. I think this would be a great way to bring together all of our members for a night of networking and holiday fun!

Jim,

I think in the case of the "College" and "Teachers" groups, we're going specific, but you are welcome to join the conversation. These were two groups I had meant to start for a long time and never did until recently.

I think everyone on this site refuses to stop learning... you're among the likeminded here.

Jim Sawyer — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 23:50:54 -0500

When you say students, are you talking about those currently paying for education or those of us who refuse to stop learning even after college.

The other day after I went to the Digital Media Workforce Summit at SCC, I realized what an important role my upper education played in the career I chose, and the relationships I formed there are still rippling into what we've been doing with Florida Creatives for the past 2 years.
