 ActiveRain MeetUp

This is the third ActiveRain MeetUp that I've attended in Orange County, and each one has brought me in contact with familiar members that I see on a regular basis, online.  By meeting in person, we have the opportunity to shake hands or hug, exchange business cards, discuss the market and share ideas.  More importantly, we learn about each other, things that aren't blogged about, but are typically revealed in a face-to-face conversation with someone you know better.  




If you haven't attended an ActiveRain Meet-Up or even if you have, I encourage you to go to the next one in your local area.  I look forward to meeting YOU.   

If you're not currently a member of ActiveRain, you should be.  A Social "Members Only" Account is FREE, and the benefits are getting better every day.  If you decide to upgrade to a RainMaker Account, your content will be shared with EVERYONE.  Extensive training is provided to ALL MEMBERS. 

Is it worth my time to Blog?  YES!  Does Blogging work?  YES, if you learn how to blog the right way.

Susan, I know a few of the members that should be attending your gathering in the Sacramento area and you are guaranteed to have a good time.  Enjoy yourself and I'll be looking for your post.  Best wishes always.

Satar, Hopefully you can make the next Meet-Up in Orange County.  The ActiveRain Staff always writes a post about when and when they are happening.  I can't speak for the others, but I'm NOT registered for Meet-Up.com, although it looks like a fun place to meet people.  Best wishes always.

Iris, It was great to meet you and Cecelia too.  I wish that I didn't have to leave when I did, because I really start to relax and open up more after that 2nd beer.  That's probably a scary thought since you know how relaxed and open I already was.  ;-) 

Hey, if all the other guys leave, great!  The sooner they leave the better (just joking Tim, you left at just the right time).  I'll be looking forward to our next Meet-Up too.  Best wishes always.

Jason, Thank you for taking the time to visit and leave a comment.  I'm quite certain that an ActiveRain Rock Star, like you, will be an exciting guest at any Meet-Up that you attend.  I'll be watching for your photos and/or video.   Have a great time and best wishes always.

Hi Elva, I received your email and responded yesterday.  I've already written quite a lot about Animoto, but I do believe that Picasa has a lot to offer all of us.  If I can find the extra time, you'll get the post that you requested.  Thank you and best wishes always.

Richard, how much fun was this!!!!  What a really neat meet-up you all had.  I loved the photos AND the video... 

I've been wanting to get one going here in Raleigh again this year but have been a bit busy...  why does 'work' always seem to get in the way of FUN!...

In any event thanks for sharing your great afternoon in the rain...

*Richard*! You Party Boy, you!  Glad to see at least ONE MORE man there, since you always seem to surround yourself with women. Wish I could've joined you in the OC! I especially love the photo that became a drawing...nice touch.

Richard,

 

Thank you for posting this however, I think I am a tad bit late.  Should have seen this last week.

 

Thanks just the same

Pamela, You're right, work does have a way of getting in the way of fun.  In fact, I've got a lot more work coming up real soon.  Don't forget, any time YOU happen to be in Orange County, give me a heads up and we'll have a Meet-Up.  Best wishes always.

Debb, Cheers to you too!  The video is just another quick and easy Animoto project, that I still think works well for presenting this type of event coverage.  I've got to get back to making more community videos real soon, especially now that our BEST weather season is now arriving.  Have a great week and best wishes always.

Gayle, Call it luck or just good fortune, but I do find myself in the presence of women quite often.  It must be The Law of Attraction.  ;-) 

I don't usually play with photos, except for adding frames, lighting, cropping and re sizing, but I also liked the drawing effect.  Your photos are always especially beautiful.  You're always welcome to any and all Orange County Meet-Ups.  Let me know when you're arriving and I'll set one up.  Best wishes always.

Hi Douglas, Better late than never, unless it's to a party that has already ended.  ;-)  That's O.K., we will be having more Meet-Ups in the future.  Best wishes!

Susanna, I just thought of you yesterday and would have come looking for you soon.  The food was delicious and the presentation was even better.  Plus, it was very affordable at Happy Hour pricing.  Have fun at your Meet-Up and be sure to share some pictures and videos.  Best wishes always.

Mike, This was one of the most fun AR Meet Ups that I've attended.  Unfortunately, I just missed out on the most recent one because I didn't know about it.  Dave and Busters is a great place for a Meet Up!  I usually get my heads up about any Meet Ups from reading a post.  I'll check out your website and best wishes always.
