I had a chance to spend some time with Bob Fenner at MACNA; what an interesting and enthusiastic guy! He's good to go for the February 18th meeting - yahoo! We're working on topic selection now, but he has us written in on his calendar. If any of you want to cruise over to Wet Web Media to see what's been going on there and suggest topics, that would be great. He gave a nice presentation on Red Sea animals at MACNA. He said fly him in on cheap flight and put him up at someone's house where we can talk and have a few beers.
"Staying in a hotel is boring." Bob's our kind of people, lol.
I told him I wanted to post the schedule and topic within a week, so I'll let you know ASAP.
He also has access to all of the people who are writing on WWM and the online mag and we talked about some of the up-and-comers in the industry who aren't getting recognition yet as speakers. He's working on getting me in touch with some of those that are interested in speaking to clubs.
Scott Michael is checking his calendar for the May meeting, but we'll see. I figure if he does have time for us in another month, but not for May, we can juggle something as we need to finish the schedule anyway. I told him we could be flexible on the date as long as it was far enough out. I'd much rather see Scott on the 2nd weekend of a month rather than not at all!
I also spoke with Steven Pro, I see he is on Reed's wish list. He's good on equipment talks, among other things.
