We have five other gatherings currently in the planning stages where we are in the hunt for venues and sponsors (to cover the cost of snacks and drinks).  If you can help put one of these together, please email Kristie for details:

• Miami/South Florida (possibly BusinessWire office)
• London (possibly Fleishman Hillard office)
• Seattle (possibly Third Place Books)
• Vancouver (possibly Bryght office)
• Washington D.C. (possibly Ogilvy PR office)

We are also pleased to announce the launch of the Austin Social Media Club coming on February 22, 2007.  Details to follow shortly. 

Is there one happening near you yet?  If not, please email Howard or Kristie for information on launching a group in your city.  

We’ll see you soon!
