Mark Your Calendars – Portland RE Meetup
We blog, we Twitter, we IM, we Facebook each other – so why not meet in person? Let’s have a few beers and talk Internet and Web 2.0, markets and marketing, Zillow and Trulia, Roost and Frontdoor, blogging and social media.
Ron Ares and I have been talking for a while about organizing a gathering of tech savvy or tech interested Oregon/SW Washington based Realtors, lending, title and technology professionals.
So I’ve tentatively scheduled one for 6pm on Friday, March 28, 2008.
Tell your friends, co-workers, business contacts, everyone. Any folks from Seattle want to make it down for a fun weekend in the Rose City?
Sign up at Upcoming.org and let me know if you make it. Or drop your names in the comments and I’ll add them to the list.
One more thing. This is strictly a social gathering; no demos, prezzos, or promos. Just good beer and good conversation.
Not sure where we’ll hold it yet (I’m thinking a McMenamin’s) but I’ll let you know as things develop.
Update: Looks like there’s good real estate news for Portland today – maybe we’ll have some upbeat stuff to talk about too.
Update #2: I whipped up a graphic for the event. Feel free to steal it for your website.

great idea Joel… if you happen to have it at McMenamin’s High Street Pub and your bartender is named Jamie… tip her good, she is the poor starving sister of this Ca Realtor
(I’ll make sure to buy a round.. on her comp ticket ;-0

That night happens to be my birthday… I can’t think of a better way to celebrate! See you then!

Sounds terrific, Joel! I’ll be there.
[There's an internet rumor - you know how viral these things can be! - that Ron's picking up the tab. True?]

Jeff,
With a market like this, how can I be expected to subsidize the liquor consumption of other despondent real estate professionals?
That said, it’s an excellent time to buy a home

Jennifer and I will have to toast you from the deck of fellow Realtor Kent Sisk’s boat in Ixtapa. We’ll be gone for a week, he’s gone for 18 months!
Cheers and hope you have a good turnout so it happens again.
