The first door64 meet-up of 2010

This morning we had the first door64 Austin Meet-up of 2010 at the Triumph Cafe. We probably had around 70 folks show up for over 2 hours, swamping the outdoor patio, and hanging out inside too. Here's some random photos from the morning:

Wanted to share two stories. One is that I was approached by a door64 member who really appreciated a recent conversation about Moms returning to work after a long time off while care of the family. Realize that the conversations, guidance, and suggestions made in the online discussions may help others who you may never meet in person.

Secondly, I met many people today who never attended a networking event before. One person in particular said he was nervous initially, but then realized everyone was there for the express purpose of meeting someone new. He's exactly right. Come with the intention to meet new people, and even have lunch with some people you meet. Nothing like a meal to help cement a relationship.

The next door64 meet-up in Austin is on the calendar. See you then!
