NO Booze  just coffee and soft drinks but of course designer coffee we are in the Pac NW after all.it was a HUGE turn out over flowed the office LOL.but I did do it with another person.. he helped cordinate etc.. and I invited a few people that he thought were direct competitors of his and the next day this kid calls me and basically chews me out.. .. that was the end of that relationship and the last time i go to any meet up other than if I am invited to speak as a guest speaker..

Get the relationship going and stable first.Good luck in REI!
