When

Not entirely sure yet. I have to coordinate with school schedule for one of them as well with biz partners too.

If I have to make a rough guess... late March, April. If not then, it would be Aug or Sept.

Are the kids boys or girls?

I'd suggest trying to catch some sporting even depending on season. We have the Bucs, Lightning hockey, Rowdies (soccer), and Rays.

If fishing is your pleasure, head out to Clearwater for a fishing charter. Plenty of them there.

Beach, I recommend Honeymoon island St park.

Confirmed to go. See you there!

Awesome, thanks!

I have twin girls and the oldest is a boy.

I have always wanted to do a fishing charter. I don't care if the kids want to or not, they will just have to sit and wait/watch.

There are a lot of great charters out of Clearwater from big boat/multiple people to small boat/family outing style.

Bringing a new member of the forum down as well, BRILLIANT programmer & has been around the startup space a while.
Don't remember the specifics, but hopefully he'll give some insight about the issues you face with the app you're dev'ing (Inside).

We'll see - super looking forward to this!

That will be great. Definitely a good opportunity to get some more insight into our needs with development.

We are reconfirmed and all set to go for Saturday. Should we do a Whatsapp group?

Update : I will make it, but will not be able to spend the whole evening there. My son is just rolling in to town and I may even bring him along, but I will plan on getting there at 6PM for a couple of cocktails but need to plan an early exit as we have a bunch of family related stuff going on. I will have no problem drinking my share of the bill though. See you all Saturday at some point.

What is the head count? Do you have enough people to justify the minimum?

I think the headcount is somewhere around 10 people and the minimum is $250. I know a few of us are planning on getting food as well, so I don't see hitting that minumum being a problem.

By the way, what's the dress code? Formal? Casual?

Couldn't judge 100% by the restaurant's website

[Scot]

Because we have a semi-private room, whoever is getting there first, should we have a group name to tell the host?

Great to meet everyone last night! @Ronak ; Thanks for getting the reservation and suggestions together!
Awesome to meet "THE" @Vigilante in person - dropping knowledge bombs and all over.
Godspeed to @Scot , @Duane , @Richard Espinosa , @S.Brown, and our newbie @codefist

See You Next Time.

 

[Scot]

It was a great meetup. It's good to be surrounded by like minded individuals. Everyone has very promising projects ahead of them for sure.

@Ronak thsnks again for picking the location and getting that taken care of. Glad to see @UnrealCreative and @codefist made the 8 hour drive.

Also thanks to @Vigilante to helping a lot of us hash through some ideas and prodding us into action.


And looks like you just missed it @S. Brown Sorry Tampa traffic got you @Arun Siva

I actually ran into this on my way at around 5:40, state trooper blocked the 1-275 ramp towards Tampa. Luckily I know the area very well and was able to head towards St. Pete, take an exit, bypass all the traffic and get on Gandy to make it in time.

 

[GuestUser4aMPs1]

@codefist got some shots last night

[Vigilante]

Hope I wasn't too hard on the new kid.

Hope I wasn't too hard on the new kid.

If he considers that "being hard" then business will be a big wake up call.

If anything you pretty much laid out a great starting plan with a huge offer of help. I just hope he executes!
