How the heck does anyone meet for coffee at 3pm on a Wednesday? I love OCC, but it would help if these events were 8am/lunch/evening to at least give those with real jobs a chance to make them.

That being said, hope to make it.

They usually last a couple hours, so I figure people can dip a little early from work, or pop away for an hour.

Real jobs? So you have a Real Job?

This site isn't that entrepreneurial anymore.

We have funding and customers. That means I actually work in an office and have responsibilities. Not easy to leave before 7pm.

"Startup" life is a lot different after you get out of the garage.

It also means you have some control over your schedule, doesn't it? Its just another business meeting, like any other. Sometimes people can make it, sometimes they can't.

Its been almost six months since one was held in the city, and I think I'm going to hold one every month, so if you can't make this one, make the next one.

Should I come out of my comfort zone and visit for cuiosity's sake?

Just paid my deposit at Emory to study Economics, two things made it tough the cost and GT's Tech Square.

You should come out. Most people find them invaluable.

Can someone please provide more detail than the Yahoo page as to what this is about? Is there any more info on the web about this group or previous gatherings?

Thank you, rjurney! BTW, what is up with all of the irrelevant pics and videos in those sections of the website? For example, most of the videos seem to be about repenting (?!) and MLM...

Thats what Ning does to your site, I think.

Thanks for the heads up... you'd think that a tech-savvy group would avoid hosting their pages on a service which splashes MLM and repenting videos all over their site...

I'll be there.

Me too.

But let's not turn this discussion into an endless sequence of "me too"s.

Maybe, keep it as replies to the above post.

Note to others: Just up vote if you will attend too.

Ok. Me too!

I'll be in town to work on my Shotput Ventures startup, I'll see if I can make it ^_^

FYI Angel Lounge is that very evening, so there might be more money than usual in the room. Just sayin... ;)

Sorry, to correct myself Capital Lounge, not Angel Lounge, is that night.
