Greetings,
I'm a Project Manager and have been using MT since earlier this year. I would really enjoy attending the meet-up and look forward to meeting everyone in the group!

If there's anything specific to bring, please let me know.

See you on the 10th!

Cheers,

Mark

Mark,
We look forward to seeing you. It is a no host time at the Tap House.  I will be bringing a new employee this time. Be gentle.

Submitted by Mark Rogers on Tuesday December 3rd, 2013 2:09 pm

Thank you, both! I'll try and invoke my conscientious side to ease the introduction :)

Hi folks,
Over the holiday season we have lost track of our meet up schedule. We normally meet on the second Tuesday or Wednesday evenings of the month.  I am not open on Wednesdays during the school year.
For January the dates would be this week... 1/14 or 15.
In February the dates will be 2/11 or 12.
Let us know your availability.
Remember that in April we hope to have Dani from Manager Tools join us on Monday night.

I will be in that area anyways tomorrow night (1/14) so that would work best for me.

I can't make it this week.
Tuesdays are also better for me during the school year.

 Have you considered using a Meetup site to manage these events? In my experience it's a bit more fine tuned for handling communication and scheduling around events than a general purpose forum. Perhaps you could post a link to the Meetup site here on MT so that everyone can easily find it.
I hope to meet you all at an upcoming event.
Regards,
Eden

Last year I scheduled these through Eventbrite and I can do the same this year once we set the dates.

Do we want the 2nd week or 3rd week for these and is the Tap house still a good venue for everyone?

 Taphouse and Tuesdays still work for me. Can't make it tonight though.

 2nd week is good for me. Taphouse is fine. Meetup is good too -- much easier to coordinate.

Submitted by Shane MacQuarrie on Tuesday January 14th, 2014 1:17 pm

2nd week of each month on Tuesday @taphouse sounds good.
Should we just start with February for the 1st meet up of 2014?

Brian,
Do you want to take point and set something up on meetup?

Look forward to catching up with everyone. I should have some (mildly) good news next month.

I will see you all in Feb. Second Tuesday of each month. 6:00 Taphouse. On my calendar now.

Submitted by Mark Rogers on Tuesday February 11th, 2014 6:00 pm

I won't be able to come this evening as I've caught a cold and would rather not subject you all to it this evening. I hope you all can attend in March and I look forward to meeting you all!

Cheers,

Mark

Great news!
We are scheduled to meet up with Dani. We are going to meet Monday, April 14, in SeaTac at Sharps RoastHouse (18427 International Blvd) at 6:00. I have reserved space for 10-20. Bring the friends. Invite the noobs!
We have a planned topic of shift / international management best practices. As is our norm there will be lots of other topics and way too many DISC jokes.
RSVP to me so I can keep the count.

Ken,
We missed your high D abuse at the dinner with Dani. We had a great time with 9 folks. It was all S and friendly. Rosemary, Jeff and Shelby were all new. I will make sure to send them reminders of the Tap House 5/13 meet up. 

Submitted by Kenneth Karru-Olsen on Thursday April 24th, 2014 4:10 pm

 Seems I got some work to do around polish of my S. I have missed the meetings/get together a lot. Real life been way to busy since Jan. Looking forward to seeing all of you again for one big group hug :@)

Submitted by Scott Bockheim on Thursday May 1st, 2014 1:57 pm

I'll see you there on 5/13. I have introduced MT to some peers here at Starbucks and will try to bring them along.

Scott,
I look forward to seeing you again. It is a growing group.  I will reserve more spaces this time.
See you all there!
Martin

Submitted by Mark Rogers on Monday May 12th, 2014 5:33 pm

Hi Martin,
I will try and make it out for tomorrow and will likely bring a friend that I introduced to MT.
Cheers,
Mark

Submitted by Mark Rogers on Tuesday May 13th, 2014 12:57 pm

Hi Everyone,
I had an urgent change in my schedule today and won't be able to make it out tonight nor will my friend.
Good luck with your discussions and I look forward to next month!
Cheers,
Mark

Hello everybody,
We had a great time last night. We had seven attendees. It was great to have Kenneth and Scott back. We welcome Rajeesh (sp?) and Maneesh (sp?) to the group as well.
Next month we meet on June 10, 6:00, at the TapHouse in Bellevue again. Our focus topic is "How do you prepare for one-on-ones?"
We hope to see everybody there!

Submitted by Kenneth Karru-Olsen on Wednesday May 28th, 2014 1:52 am

 Was great to see some known and new faces. For those who stayed away out of fear for Da' High D abuse you should know that the next couple of months will be safe for you to attend again. Good news my company landed a massive deal, bad news for me is the travelling will begin. Best guess, see you all in September

Submitted by Martin Culbert on Tuesday June 3rd, 2014 9:43 am

Hello MT fans,
Just a reminder that the next Seattle meet up in next Tuesday, June 10, 6:00 at the TapHouse in Bellevue.  Our topic, which will take about 20 minutes out of the 2+ hours is "How do you prepare for one-on-ones?"
Even though Kenneth isn't there to give us any D grief, I can role play the part and set aside my S if you need any instruction or correction.
See you all there!

Submitted by Brian Widmer on Thursday September 4th, 2014 3:55 pm

I plan to be there!
Brian

I won't be able to attend for yet another month due to a disk issue in my back. I have hope that this will not be an issue by next month and I will back to my dominating self :)
Have a good time everyone!
Mark Rogers

Hello Washingtonians!
Hope to see all of you at our monthly meet up. We are having our usual, no host meeting at Taphouse in Bellevue at 6:00. No particular topic at this point but if one of you wants to float an item we can all prepare.
Martin

Hi folks, Bad news. I have a board meeting that runs 9-8 on Jan 13. I will not be able to attend. Let each other know who WILL be there. Good news! Dani is willing to meet up with us again on March 30 when she is in town. Start spreading the word. She and I are nailing down the location.

Submitted by Mark Rogers on Monday January 12th, 2015 5:05 pm

Thank you, Martin for the heads-up! I won't be attending as I have a client outing that night. I'm thrilled to see Dani again! Can't wait! Cheers, Mark

Submitted by David Rennard on Thursday March 5th, 2015 1:43 am

Will there be any chance of meeting up Wednesday March 11-14?
We are 15 MBA students from Purdue University, and I'm really trying to get our class introduced to Manager Tools. We arrive at 9:45 Tuesday, so we will miss your meeting if it's on that day. I understand if it's not possible.
Thanks!
David

Submitted by Martin Culbert on Monday March 9th, 2015 7:01 pm

David,
I am so sorry. This month the group moved their meeting back to the week of the 30th. Dani is in town and we were meeting with her.
Where is your group staying? What other options exist for a get together?
Martin

Submitted by Kenneth Karru-Olsen on Monday March 9th, 2015 11:42 pm

Oh nummer, just invited someone for tomorrow to join.
However looking forward to meeting Dani and all of you. @david, let us know how we can help

Cheers
Ken
