Hello from Gate 7 of the Southwest Terminal at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in Los Angeles, CA!
I just said bade farewell here at the gate with Alejandro Reyes, my former apprentice turned Operations Manager turned business partner.
We were in Los Angeles for the day on business, and decided last minute that we would organize a networking dinner in LA before we went home.
Collectively, we have lots of friends in the LA area, but because it was so last minute, not everyone was able to make it.
Alejandro had the idea of using Twitter to let his followers know that we were in town, and by 7pm, we had a small group of 6 people meeting up for dinner at the Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse, a 5 star restaurant in El Segundo.
Twittering Fools At The Dinner Table: Rachel Rofe, Mark Widawer, Simon Leung, James Lee, Alejandro Reyes And Chuck Yockey
As you can see, all 6 of us were busy twittering away even at the dinner table :)
We didn’t get to stay too long since Alejandro and I had to catch a flight, but it was fun hanging out with some local marketers for a couple hours.
If you’re interested in meeting up sometime while I’m in your neck of the woods, check outmy calendar and feel free to Twitter me to let me know you’re in the area and want to meet up.
Since Alejandro and I both had our flights delayed, we decided to shoot a quick video on the power of networking, and how social media has made it so much more easier to network online with practically anyone you want.
Enjoy the video :)
