Session number three of the Aberdium Toolkit for Startups. Its facilitated by Rob Danzman who is owner and founder of aberdium consulting, the first marketing and growth firm using psychology, marketing, business, and sociology to increase profits without selling clients' souls.

The past two sessions have been well attended and very informative. As a small business owner I've learned a lot. Come take advantage of this FREE event.

On December 4 CCC is hosting the local Drupal meetup group.

"This is a great chance to meet other Drupal developers and to hear about some of the cool Drupal projects people are working on in the area. No matter what level of Drupaler you are - pro or newbie - come on out to meet others in the community."

A few weeks ago I started a every other Friday at 12:30pm lunch meetup. Its called the Brown Bag Lunch. Original right? :) Since then we've had a few small lunch meetups with great conversations. One day Raines Cohen the Coworking Coach from Berkeley, California was in town. Awesome discussion about doing things together (Coworking, cohousing, etc.) and the state of things here in North Carolina.

To jump start these informal lunches I'm inviting special guests. My hope is you'll get excited about attending and meeting these cool people. Plus I'm jazzed about showing off our community.

So far we have two special guests scheduled. On December 12 Paul Jones the Director of Ibiblio.org and a teacher at UNC-Chapel Hill will be joining us. On January 9, 2009 Nathaniel Talbott local Ruby guru and founder of Terralien, Inc. will be here. I'll remind you when these dates get closer.

Is there a special guest you'd like to meet over lunch? Please send me your suggestions and potential guests contact information.

Last nights party was a huge success. About fifty people showed up. They included friends, associates, interested people, local business owners, Carrboro Economic Development Director James Harris, Alderman Lydia Lavelle, Alderman Randee Haven-O'Donnell, Alderman Dan Coleman, Carrboro Mayor Mark Chilton, County Commissioner Mike Nelson, Chapel Hill Council Member Sally Greene, Coworkers, and many others. It was a whirl wind culmination of a dream.

Here is a short video of my small thank you speech and some words from Alderman Coleman. The first part, that isn't included in this vid, is a thank you to my customers (coworkers) who are really making this biz happen. PLUS I totally forgot to publicly thank my wife Ruby. Without her patience and help this whole venture NEVER would have gotten started.

Thanks to smalljones and tucomatus for the video. More to come I hear.
