We hosted the inaugural Brooklyn OpenCoffee this past Friday at Retreat NYC. The coffee was great and the conversations even better, spanning from best practices in blogging SEO, to startups (in the online collaboration space), to the impact social media plays in the lives of the elderly.
Attendees included:
A Child Grows in Brooklyn
Convos
JAR Group
Fiaga
Heights Media Group
We’re planning for the next gathering to be Friday October 26th at a site TBD.

Our first meeting will be next Friday (October the 12th) at Retreat NYC in DUMBO a Brooklyn coffee shop yet to be determined. We'll run from 9-11am and people can drop by for as long, or little as they like.
For now, feel free to join the Google Group and we'll announce the location by Monday

Today was what may have been my last final ever. Afterwards I proceeded to watch Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drifters...complete garbage, but I can't say I completely hated it.
Tomorrow I am off the New York City and I promise very soon to have a slew of better, insightful blog posts so stay tuned.
Also, if you are not familiar with Tim Ferriss and his new book, the Four Hour Work Week, I highly recommend you listen to this podcast Tim gave at SXSW and pick up the book.
Finally, we are planning for the first ever OpenCoffee event in DC to ...
