tampa round table

[jon chapman]

Hey Tampa area guys. Seems like the last couple months have seen an increase in Tampa guys on this board. Any one interested in a round table? Specifically a big round one at Hooters?

post here some preferences for dates. or give me a call

[Dan Stapleton]

Don Phelps mentioned having one in Orlando. That would get my vote plus being centrally located would make it easier for all Floridians. Just my 02.

Let me know where so I can bomb the place and corner the Florida market.mwuahahahahahaha

I would like to take a trip to Orlando. Got a friend there and haven't taken any time off in a while.

I could give my Dad a visit, he lives in Kissimmee.

I have traveled to jersey and other places for round tables. Its a lot of fun….everyone should try to host one.

I just thought I would ad that if you have not had one in your back yard do that first. Networking with the guys in the backyard is the most valuable. The benefits for me over the years have been great. Meeting for lunch on occasion and being able to help one another out on occasion.

Stay close to home if you can, host the round in a private meeting room. Many restaurants are glad to loan them for free. Hooters is a great place but not very intimate.

Everett hosted one with a ton of guys in jersey and it was a large meeting room with great food and drinks. He was able to actually have a meeting. I did one in cali at a busy restaurant and it sucked compared to having a private meeting where guys could introduce themselves and share stories amongst one another.

I have been to about 6 or 7 rounds not including PWNA convention rounds. Even the PWNA round where not the same as my own or Everett’s.

Next time I’m in Florida I will look a few of you guys up.

I would love to meet everyone. I am in valrico....see if we can get teh appleman to come.

I was thinking of more of a fun get together, than a real meeting. Orlando would be nice for statewide, but right now Im more interested in just the tampa area guys, as a 'get to know you session.' (with beer and wings of course.)
