Last nights meetup was a small turnout but it’s a start. I knew it was going to be tough for people to make it since it was Father’s Day and such a short notice. The good news is I think Opal Divine’s is going to be a great place to have the event. The upstairs area works well and as we get more people we should be able to accommodate.
We ended up joining the Geeks Who Drink Pub Quiz last night at 7 PM which was a lot of fun. They allow teams of 6 people so that might be something we can after each meetup if anyone is interested.
We Now Have A Meetup Group
One of the things discussed last night was starting a Meetup.com group to gain more exposure. Plus it makes it much easier to track RSVP’s and schedule future events. So head on over to the Beer and Blog Austin Meetup Group and join the group.
I have already scheduled a few events for the future so people have a longer heads up about the events. The next meeting is going to be July 5th, due to the fact I am heading to Dallas for the WordCamp event this upcoming weekend. Unfortunately this is also going to fall on a holiday weekend. So please RSVP if you plan to attend so I can know if I should keep it scheduled.
Following that week, we will also have a meeting on July 12th. You can already RSVP to that event as well.
Continue To Spread The Word
I plan to spread the word as much as possible and would really appreciate it if you can help. Let anyone you know that might be interested about the event. I think it’s going to be an awesome group as more and more people start coming.
Look forward to seeing you at the next event on July 5th!




GREAT idea Justin. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to make the first one. I had the best of intentions, but just ran out of time while dealing with a project for a client. I can’t wait to get this worked into my schedule. I think it will be a great motivator to work on my blogs on a more routine basis.
