Looking for people who want to bring power strips, since they have wifi and tons of space for laptops. I know I feel like part of my mind isn't there if I don't have access to Wikipedia ;)

The book review isn't really that important, I was just assuming that the books would have been skimmed or something by then. No hurry!

I noticed that people only notice a event started if they see it on Twitter about the time they're on. I'm trying to limit announcement tweets to one per day at the most, not to spam you, but to make sure it doesn't fall off the radar (twitter clients usually pull only the last 20 tweets!)

I apprciate th need 2 b "connectd". 2 some, hvin electronics w/thm is akin 2 hvin vital fluids pumpin thru ur veins. I get it, really! But, may I make a suggestion? I strongly encourage evry1 2 come DIS-connected. Ok, I know this is a Tweetup & phone/pdas r req'd 4 Tweetin/pics, etc. BUT, the purpose of meetin in person is 2 meet IN PERSON, i.e. TALK 2 people face-to-face. Try it sometime, the person w/out the wires (or wireless, as the case may b) may surprise u. R U game 2 try at this Tweetup?

I appreciate the need to be connected. In fact, I received several requests during the last meetup (but found out too late because I was not receiving notices on my iPhone and wasn't checking very often) to see if it was "going to last much longer" as some people decided to attend at the last minute. Because of people who didn't want me to be connected, some people were excluded. I plan on correcting this by being connected this time. I get it, really!

Wish we could come but will be looking at houses in Richmond!

It was a very nice meetup and our 1st:) Glad we got to meet quite a few of you who attended. We look forward to attending another meeting. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect before going but once we were there a little while we became more and more comfortable and enjoyed meeting some nice and interesting people. Hopefully next time we will be a little more chatty. Thx
