@Ines. Ha! That is a classic Miamism! I’ll never forget our day on the beach.

@Missy. Sorry I missed you in my BT thank you list. We had a great day.

I also missed thanking Laurie Manny, Mary & John McKnight, Damon Pace, Jay Thompson, Caleb Mardini, Pat Kitano and a host of others. (Dang! it’s not easy getting old.)

Maybe we’ll see each other again in the documentary. Rudy, get that film digitized before it evaporates. Heck, send me the photos and I’ll do the book.

Joe – one of my first Miamism Fridays was captured while walking with you and Rudy to the beach during your blog tour – we were talking about miamisms and while you both pointed and said “THAT’s a miamism!” I was taking the photo – I smile every time I think of that http://www.miamism.com/miamism-fridays-4/

With that said, totally agree with Missy regarding it being about those F2F connections that transcend anything you can do on line (Missy, I went to a barcamp here in Miami and felt the exact same thing you described and have made great friends from that as well)

I’ve been hearing a lot about these being “clicky” and although it makes me sad, I can see that some of us have gotten really close in the years we have been sharing – I personally go out of my way to embrace new comers….so if anyone ever feels I’m being “clicky”, you have my permission to pull me by the hair

I was fortunate to get to meet Joe and Rudy on the Blog Tour. It was great, then attend the first ReBar camp in San Francisco, just got back from Chicago last night.

I also attend a Bar Camp in Ann Arbor in December. It was wild, all these 20 something CEO’s running around inventing and writing php code for MRI machines. It was intimidating at first but by the end had connected with great local techies.

Now there are 2 groups in A2 that meet for weekly lunches and the relationships grow. That is what ReBar is IMO the IRL folks that you meet.

That being said the strength in any movement is also the seed of its weakness. For new people attending these it is important to reach out to them and be inclusive.

Maureen and I are in the talking stages about planning one in Ann Arbor next year.
