February 2008, I invited my group of friends from LinkedIn who were in Houston to come join me for a mixer. It was that one day in February that year when we had sleet and 290 was in grid-lock. The Panera Bread where we were having the mixer was on 290. I was surprised that 6 people showed up.

Last mixer, more than 350 showed up. We have these at the Tasting Room in Uptown Park, and it is a good thing that the room is big and they have a patio because 350 people is more than standing room only and we aren’t the only crowd there.

Come join me by RSVP’ing at inhouston.ning.com/events and let’s get Houston’s economy back in the upward direction.
