First Northern Michigan Web and Mobile Meetup

Last Thursday we had our first Northern Michigan Web and Mobile Meetup meeting. While eating pizza, we watched an interview with Jason Fried and discussed it afterwards.

I had a pretty good time, and received some nice compliments on the format. Talking with the group, we may continue to watch and discuss interviews. I’ve set a date for the next meetup on November 18th. I’m still considering where we should go for the venue. CityMac was accommodating, but a few mentioned the meeting rooms in the Library.

If you’re in the Traverse City area on the 18th, I encourage you to drop by!
