DISQUS

I can't tell from the EventBrite page, or here, what time the breakfast is. Could be helpful for newbies like me. :-)

Dave Delaney · 1 year ago

Hi Mashby: Thanks so much for pointing that out. I've revised Eventbrite to include the time. The Nashville Geek Breakfast always starts at 7:30 - 8:30 (ish).

Cheers,
Dave

Great idea to start the org and wiki. I'm not really digging Eventbrite, though. Is there really no way for anyone except the event organizer(s) to see the attendees?

Dave Delaney · 1 year ago

There is a way. I'm working on it. :-)

Dave Delaney · 1 year ago

Eventbrite's customer service is awesome. The bad part is that I can't show a list of attendees for repeating events. The whole purpose of using Eventbrite was to not have to re-schedule the breakfast every month. I'm looking into alternatives now.

Leave it with me to work out a way that attendees can see each other, I think it's important too.

Thanks.

Yay! Good work getting the attendee list to display. Still not a fan of Eventbrite, tho -- since attendees don't have accounts, they also don't have avatars or contact info. Not too conducive for networking. Are you *sure* this is better than having to setup the events each month in Facebook? How about Meetup?

One thing I'd like to see is Fido become the new home of Geek Breakfast. I think we've outgrown Noshville and I really like having the space that Fido provides to move around and catch up with different people. I'd also hate for us to overstay our welcome at Noshville should noise and size of the group become a problem.

Just some thoughts from the new face of Geek Breakfast. :)

Dave Delaney · 1 year ago

Thanks. I enjoyed Fido too, but they don't have table service. This means that we spend a lot of time lining up to order our food instead of chatting. I'm not sold on it, but if the group would prefer it. Maybe a vote is in order next time. Let's stick with Noshville for August and see how we do.

We'll be sure to have all three long tables this time. Noshville have been warned that we're growing :-)

Cheers,
Dave

I agree with both desires -- friendlier space like Fido and expedient table service like Noshville. Anyone know anyplace like that?

Well done, Dave. Good ideas. See you at breakfast.

Dave Delaney · 1 year ago

Thanks Rob!

Dave:

I heard that comment you left on Mitch Joel's Six Pixels of Separation Podcast, and I was blushing. Good to know that the Social Media Breakfast was at least part of the inspiration for your Nashville Geek Breakfast.

And while most of our Boston breakfasts have some kind of an "educational component" in terms of a speaker or speakers who make short presentations, not all of the SMBs around the country and world have followed that format. Sometimes the gatherings are, indeed, roundtable discussions among all the participants. The beauty of the SMBs is that they are organized according to the needs and interests of the local communities.

I wish you continued success with your Nashville Geek Breakfasts, Dave. Maybe I can stop by one time.

Dave Delaney · 1 year ago

Thanks Bryan. I really appreciate your message. We'd love to have you.

I'm really glad you posted about this and created the explanatory page. I have been interested in NGB, but this has convinced me to attend.

nice work on the wiki and blog. Just enough information and no fluff! Much appreciated!

Dave Delaney · 1 year ago

Thanks Jason. Please tell your friends. It would be awesome to see
geek breakfasts everywhere.

Very nice job.

Randomly, who is 365 Creative? I didn't notice a contact page.

Dave Delaney · 1 year ago

Hi Nathan. Thanks.
365 Creative is Chris Ennis. He's a local Nashvillian and all around great
guy.
