Sweet Shit Saturday #041 (First Meetup Edition!)

A little bit about the first ever Ridiculously Extraordinary Meetup + links!

We had the first ever Ridiculously Extraordinary Meetup on Wednesday and it was great. I was honestly expecting maybe 4 or 5 people to show up, but about 15 passed through. I hung out from 7pm until about 1am. OK, that’s a lie, my bus was 10 minutes late so I got there at 7:05. :) I figured everybody would leave early since it was a weeknight, but many stayed until around Midnight! Woohoo! You all rock.

Special thanks to Brigitte and Lucus for bringing pizza and a vegan sandwich! :)

Also, thanks to @GrantKMartin, @RickRivera, @Jenny_Smythe, @IgniteAdventure, @Yearlyglot, @KaariB, @sigsegfalt, @RNast, and sorry to everybody who I don’t have twitter IDs for.

And thanks to Gold Star just because they rule. Maybe most people weren’t paying attention, but a lot of metal was coming through the jukebox. (Now you know why I call it the best jukebox in the world.)

I write a little bit about this technique in How To Be More Confident, but Ev’yan went far deeper into it.

That’s it for this week. Lots of fun stuff coming up, including “The Greatest Offer I’ve Ever Made.” (That will be posted either February 28 or March 1.) Have a great weekend!
