I didn't really miss anything..a couple of us locals who stayed home got together for lunch the other day. For some reason I seem to be doing moe business concentrating on the guys who live here and getting together with them for lunch, dinner, beers, etc.
Our local gatherings have grown to a handful of people getting together for lunch to a dinner that brought out 25 people and a couple others who couldn't make it due to prveious engagements. Our next gathering will have a turnout of probably 30-35 people and really, how many more do I need to buusiness with that I'm not already?
We don't have sponsors, floors or anything like that. Everyone pays for their own dinner, we head over somewhere to grab some beers and shoot pool...so much more relaxing that way (although we might have a couple of the ARS guys sneak MarcDe's credit card over one night ;-))
I also prefer the smaller shows. I did more business as a result of the San Diego show than I've ever done at InterNext.
