[DM-MUG] Next meeting, or not?

[Jon Thompson]

Here's my thoughts on the second meeting to get cancelled...

The format of topic/speaker/presentation is dead. The writing has been
on the wall for a couple years now, and with two cancellations, I am
certain that more will be coming. DMMUG needs to change to survive.

I want to offer a new format:

I now have a live online radio show that broadcasts every Tuesday @8
PM on worldwidelocallive.com, from the Re/Max Studio in the
Kaleidoscope Mall downtown, which is a few blocks from Impromptu
Studio. The url for the blog and archives is
http://www.talkingmac.com.

Anyone that would like to meet and talk about Macintosh, iP(x)
devices, and technology is welcome to congregate in the lobby of the
studio. My show will be playing through the radio, but you are welcome
to talk about whatever you wish between eight and nine.

Every week.

There's no requirement to sign up or show up, other than the fact that
the door is open*, the invitation given, and I will be there doing my
show. I may pull individuals into the studio from time to time, but
only if you wish to be on the show.

This is an opportunity for fans of Apple products to get together for
the sake of getting together. If you choose to come once a month,
great! If you choose to come more, Great! If you would like, DMMUG may
be able to purchase (non-alcoholic) beverages and sponsor the
networking event coinciding with the fourth Tuesday of the month. Of
course, that is up to you, the members, but I raise it as an option.

The invitation has been given. If the DMMUG collective doesn't want to
transition to this format, or would rather do so at a different
location, that's fine. My invitation still stands independently to
everyone. Bring a beverage, and plan on meeting friends of old and new
alike.

*You'll actually need to get into the skywalk through the partnership
building (across from the Register on Locust,) as the doors to the
Kaleidoscope are locked at this time.
