    I see these meet ups as something that can be as formal as a conference presentation or as informal as meeting after the conference. Even though I like conferences, based on many blog posts by Shoemoney and our first meet up, I don't mind if it's the informal discussion around a big table.

    I wouldn't mind seeing this evolve to the point where we have WEMUG (Web Entrepneur Meet Up Group :D ) conferences held at the Staples Center. The great thing would be remeniscing about when we all could meet around one or two tables.

    I used to go to SCCFUG meetings (Southern California ColdFusion Users Group) and I've heard of other user group meetings like MMUG, JUG, etc. Web entrepeneurs is general enough to include people who are coders, tool sellers, forum operators, site builders, domain marketers, web hosts, ringtone gurus, SEO's, SEM's, ...well you get my point and WEMUG is memorable, brandable, etc.

    I just bought wemug.org, it wasn't taken, image that!

    Figures. I checked and there are plans. Pity. Haven't been to Spectrum in about 3 years. My daughter loved it last time. Going to have to see what can be done, but with plans in San Diego at 1:00, it's pretty tough.

    We were at Fox until close to 6:00pm so fashionably late could work.

    This sounds like a fun little event. I'll see if I can make it. What are the topics going to be discussed this week?

    Anything and everything. We are still fairly informal, last time we discussed areas that we each new well: proxies, Drupal, arbitrage, SEO, content, Shoemoney t-shirts, online and offline promotion.

    Bring your questions and your best tips (that you are willing to share).

    I've had progress in SEO on my main site since last meeting and after reading Randy's e-book. On some sites I still can't figure out how to move it forward.

    We'll need a written excuse from your pediatrician. :D

    Congrats daddy! Gender? Name? (tell me it's not named after Shoemoney or some other DP celeb)

    I'm only in SoCal for a couple more weeks....then I'll make the big announcement of who I'm going to work for :)

    so everyone I see this weekend, expect it only to be a one-time meetup for me through DP, although you may see me around other places ;)

    Lol...I don't make shoemoney...my adsense earnings might be enough to buy her one flipflop, but definitely not from Nordstroms. Is there a Target? :D

    Actually, this oasis of stores of stuff you don't need (neon stores, skeleton shops, palm reading, NASCAR simulators, etc) has added stores with useful things like clothes and storage bins and the two biggest stores are Nordstrom and Target. I'll chip in for the second flip flop assuming it's not a Rainbow or Teva. :eek:
