Brian Brady put on a great meeting in Del Mar tonight featuring two outstanding ActiveRain members. I am thrilled to have gotten to know Roberta Murphy and Jeff Brown. They are the "Veterans of Real Estate Blogging" and we can all learn a lot from their insight and experience. I was so impressed with both of them and I can't wait to get to know them even better as we have other meetings and get-to-gethers. After about a 30 minute presentation from Roberta and Jeff, we had a social hour.
Of course I forgot my camera and I will not take pictures of people I like with a cell phone camera. If I had put the pics up on here using a cell phone camera, they would never speak to me again.
A cute and clever restaurant that En Fuego Cantina on the main street downtown Del Mar. The drinks were really affordable ( inexpensive, cheap but tasted great! )for such an upscale location.
Another person that I met and thoroughly enjoyed meeting tonight was Marlene Bridges. Marlene and I are about 7 or 8 positions apart in our AR rankings for California. She of course is way ahead of me. An excellent blogger with a great personality. Love her! This group with Brian is the greatest and I for one feel privileged to have met them all and look forward to seeing and participating with them frequently.
If your local group has meetings, I recommend that you attend. Getting to meet live those people who we come to respect as the real pros in blogging is so great. Informational meetings are good in that you can ask questions about how you go about blogging and learn a great deal from the others in your network. Plus, you build natural friendships that will enhance your life. It just doesn't get any better than this!
A wonderful experience that I hope to have many times again! Than you again BRIAN BRADY.

William - I'm blushing. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you as well. In fact, during my dirve time back to the O.C., I called my best buddy and told her all about you. I learned some great things this evening and you were certainly a big reason for that.
Roberta and Jeff were absolutely incredible. What great, giving, caring, and gracious people. They were sharing their best successes with a group of people who work in their same market. That's pretty impressive!
Brian is the consummate host. He made us all feel so important and valued. He also did a great job posing questions for Roberta and Jeff. At the end of the evening I met Brian's beautiful wife...easy to see why Brian is such a happy man...she was abolutely delightful. What a great event. Thanks for posting this and for your kind words about moi.
