Barry: Good luck with your event. Let me know how it goes. I'm hosting in Bellevue that evening so won't be able to make it. Maybe next time.

I am holding a event on Thursday 12/11 from 4:00 to 8:00 at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park (North Seattle) It is still awaiting approval, but we'll get something going ASAP.
The whole point of this event is to invite anyone interested in social media to learn, network, and exchange ideas: I want several people involved as hosts. If you are in social media (niche expert, understand the ideas, etc) please contact me about being a co-host.
It will be an informal event filled with a lot of conversation as the group gets off the ground. You don't have to make it for the entire four hours, but I can (and have) ended up talking about social media learning for much longer.

No problem Paul, I'll be hosting it monthly as I have a few peers wanting to do round-tables and educational panels. It should grow pretty nicely.
Hopefully it will give everyone here a good way to quantify and learn the ropes.

Unfortunately this looks like it won't be a Biznik event and I have teamed up with the Social Media Club nationals group to go a different route.
They have a very new Facebook group @ SMC Facebook
Anyone interested in learning about social media with a bunch of the national experts can still meet up on the 11th.
They are taking RSVPs here: RSVP online
