Location: Starbucks in Dupont on Center Dr; or Starbucks -10314 S Tacoma Way. Do any of these dates or locations work for you folks? If not suggest something else.

    For me, I can't meet anytime before 4 during the week, as I am a slave to the man during normal business hours ( aint seo grand? ). However I am open to either some weekend or night time meets. I like the idea of the days...if the starbucks on 10314 is convenient to ya'll I am down. I could even meet up say round fife or so..I know the poodle dog is a good spot right of the freeway in fife, pretty quiet so we can talk. Think there is a starbucks up there too should you want some fancy java

    June thirteenth is a Sunday. I'm down for that one, and being in Auburn, both Seattle and Tacoma are perfectly reasonable for me.

      On my way. I'm the guy with the ponytail in the blue shirt and red tie.

      Actually, now that I think about it, it's the same shirt and tie I'm wearing in my avatar. It's that guy, with his hair pulled back. And not quite as maniacal a grin.

    Okay, here's the thing.

    We've got a half dozen people in this thread saying they want to get together.

    We've got four who said they'd be there at the agreed date and time.

    And I'm the only one who showed up.

    Woody Allen famously said 80% of success is showing up.

    So the next time any of you are sitting around saying "why can't I meet other IMers in my area?" - this is why.

    Because you don't show up.

    This is one of the critical parts of "treating it like a business," people. If you schedule a meeting, you show up.

    Now if you'll pardon me, I'm going to go start working on the product that I would have been working on for the past four hours - if I hadn't wasted that time going to a meeting that never happened.

    I am about a hair's breadth from the iron-clad decision that I no longer attend anything where people aren't paying cash in advance for tickets.

      I sincerely apologize for not showing up.

      Family emergency - dad had a heart attack and I was with mom at the hospital since early this morning.

        I can understand someone not showing up because of an emergency.

        But we're not talking about just you. I figured you - as the organiser - probably had a really good reason not to show up, since you selected the date and time and venue.

        What annoys me is that nobody showed up. Nobody at all. And honestly, the chances of EVERYONE having some sort of serious emergency are roughly zero.

        And give my best wishes for a speedy recovery to your dad.

          I think the problem is that it needs to be a completely new thread.

          I've updated the Seattle one asking for input and then when I get some more replies we'll set the date and I'll start a new thread and PM everyone the details.

          I didn't plan this one, but that's too bad for whoever did.

      I love to check out a meeting also. I'm in King County, but closer to Tacoma than Seattle.

      I'm also in Olympia (Lacey) and would be interested in getting together. I'm currently in one mastermind group, and have found it quite helpful for staying on track. Looking forward to meeting people that are into online marketing!

    There are a few old John Delavera Turbo Community members here in the area. A couple of us have met in Tacoma over the past year. Offline consulting, digital product dev, and direct response marketing are among our interests - I do a lot in social media.

        Patricia - I am in Lacey, and have a semi-flexible schedule. You can email me at beckylundin at gmail dot com, or we can try to set up something on here so that others can join in.

          I am in Olympia as well and would be interested in doing some sort of meetup sometime. I am mostly into creating mini niche sites, SEO and product creation. Been thinking about getting into the offline marketing as well.

            Hi Jon. While I've studied IM for a few years, I really haven't done much with it yet. I'm making sites for selling physical products, to start. I'm not looking at offline marketing so much, although I have redone a few friends sites, and did some SEO for them. I'd like to get together sometime. Monday afternoons or Friday afternoons are usually the best for me - I work with clients the rest of the time. (I'm a massage therapist.)

    Well, hello. I just stumbled onto this thread. I'm in Tumwater, and I'm just in the process of creating my first WSO. I'd be interested in a meetup. My time is somewhat limited--basically, after 4:30 M-F except Wednesday, and Sunday.
