Dinner in Seattle

I'm in Seattle next week. If you live in that great city (or the surrounding area), let's get together on at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 17 for a friendly and highly informal "marketing wonk" dinner.

Joining me so will be Seattle SuperSonics VP Pete Winemiller, Starbucks' customer care wizard (and BrandAutopsy examiner) Paul Williams, and Tracy Stevens, group manager of customer experience at Intuit. I imagine several of my esteemed colleagues from the AMA's blog workshop earlier in the day might be there, too.

We'll meet at Seattle's Westlake Center, in the food court (on the third floor). It's Dutch treat, and the shopping center has lots of food choices.

If you want to join us, RSVP to the blog, email me or just show up! Cell number is (312) 415-0077.

UPDATE: Also joining us will be Toby Bloomberg of Bloomberg Marketing, Clara Nelson of the American Marketing Association,  Bill Flitter of Pheedo and Dana VanDen Heuvel of Blog Savant. The dinner's open to everyone, including TDavid.

COMMENTS

Make sure you get Paul Williams to tell you the story of how he became the 1981 Junior Skee Ball World Champ only to lose it the following year in Vancouver to a 7 year-old Skee Ball prodigy. I promise you will laugh and cry.

I hope Paul brings pictures from that auspicious event, too.

I might stop by for a second or two... depending on how the boxes here are doing.

I'll try to stop by as well.

Would love to be there - but New Zealand is a little far away. Have luched previously in the Food Hall at Westlake Centre - and love Seattle.

Have a great time!

Chris, David (and Colin!): We missed you Friday night. I may make another visit to Seattle soon, so perhaps we'll catch up then.

I still maintain that bloggers are the friendliest people…especially after a dialogue is established. Continue your good works.
