I'm no longer a Meetup Virgin...
We all heard loads about Meetup during the Howard Dean ascendency, right?
Well, I admit that I checked it out back then, and even signed up for a free Kerry and Democrat Meetups -- however, I also admit that I never got up the moxie to actually attend the Meetup gatherings.
Well, tonight, I escaped my shell and not only attended a Meetup, but was the organizer! The first-ever Seattle Podcasting Meetup convened at Six Arms on Capitol Hill in Seattle, and despite meager attendance (was me and two other folks, who came as a couple), it was actually a lot of fun -- got to learn a good deal about Seth and Denise, and their talking products website, and new podcast/blog site.
Meeting people from outside the normal peer group is really uplifting -- makes these big cities feel a lot smaller!
