So, two weeks after finally attending a meetup, I did it again. This round was the weblogger group, only someone decided to have the Microsoft meetup on the same night in the same place (Leilani Lanes). Too. Many. People. After that experience, I may not do it again if it's a zoo like that again. I can barely handle being with more than a handful of people; despite my know-it-all attitude and Dean-like foot-in-mouth disease, I'm still the same shy person who used to hide under the bed when company came over.
Met a blogging neighbor last night (I mean, look at the map, we're practically right on top of each other [if you know where to look on the north end of town]). This afternoon I got a comment from here asking who I was. Lesson learned: Nametags, not just for conventions anymore. Or... I should have brought some of my FIVE HUNDRED business cards I never hand out.
Someone please motivate me to redesign this site. It's starting to get awfully... boring.

Don't worry, we don't usually all gather like that -- not easy to get east side folks to drive over here. Fifteen people is more normal. The MS folks don't meet on a regular basis, though Scoble has joined us a few times.
The nametag idea is a good one; I've brought them to some meetings.
