Thursday, October 15
Earlier today we had a get together in Los Angeles for BiggerPockets members and had a great time chatting about real estate, politics, the economy - you name it! Of course, we got to enjoy some great burgers at the In-N-Out Burger, and followed that up with a drink at El Torito (Sherman Oaks).
It was great finally getting to meet many of the fellas in real life (IRL), and I hope that you'll all use BiggerPockets to do your own real-life networking as well.

Great time today guys!
Looking forward to the next meeting of the minds.
I would also like to recognize Darren Morrow who met us for lunch at In & Out, but had to leave before the photo was taken. Thanks for showing Darren and it was great to meet you in person!

It was good meeting you Darren . . . sorry we didn't get to connect more than with a superficial hello.

You guys in Chi Town can plan one whenever you like . . . just use our Events system!

Alright, well I've never planned an event of that magnitude before, but I'll see what I can do :) If we can get you here, would you be interested to attend?

Joseph - It doesn't need to be anything big. We had less than 10 people there, but it was fantastic. As for my showing up . . . we can certainly talk about it.

Joseph,
This would be easy to do. I was in the real estate meeting business in Chi town for a while. Can help you out with that.

Coming to a fun town near us all, I am confident it will happen, but no beans will be spilled here. :)

Hey Jim -
You guys can have a get together whenever and wherever you want. We created the events system to facilitate this. (I just can't get to all of them)
