We had a fantastic time last month at Third Base doing the Table Topics (thanks Nadia!), and now it’s time to kick back and relax. There is graduation going on, Summer Break, and school is out. Let’s celebrate spring (already feels like summer) in style with a good old fashioned social. Hope to see everyone there with some search marketing friends.

Where: Cool River Cafe, Austin (Thanks for the suggestion Matt!)
When: 6pm-ish, Tuesday, May 26th
RSVP: Email katemorris at the Google mail … if you are attending please, or comment.
(And be sure you are signed up with the group to get all emails and reminders!)

Please pass this along to everyone you know in Austin in the search marketing industry. Just as a reminder, this group is for search marketing professionals. We welcome everyone from beginners to advanced, but try to keep it to those who perform search marketing related tasks. Invite in-house people you know … and agencies, grab your specialists. We want them to learn, we want to learn from them. This is a group just for those of us that are tackling the exciting world of search marketing!

PubCon South starts on Wednesday (I hear there MIGHT be a few more spots open, so sign up now!) and then SXSWi starts Friday/Saturday.

In light of the parties that are happening, and the wide variety of talent invading Austin, we are skipping what was to be a planned event this month and moving it to April. We have a location locked down and an idea to run with. We will be learning, teaching and having fun … and there will be drinks, promise. It’s going to be April 21st at 6pm at Third Base. More details to come after this week.

For the events of this week, check your email for party info, links to more party info, and a details of a small gathering of minds in North Austin on Thursday. I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the events, parties, and just out and about. If you are going to any open events, please post them here for everyone to see, or in the forums for just members.

But I learned one thing, meeting at the library is not as “free” as it seems to have a meeting. You have to have a Health Department permit to serve food, and that’s $30-40. Not sure what would have happened if I had brought beer. ;)

With that noted, we had a great group of about 10 to bounce ideas around and get the next get together planned. We had a great time talking about how we got into search engine marketing and what we want this group to be.

Something was brought up that I think is worth sharing here. There are tons of groups in Austin that relate to what we do, but still don’t focus on what we do for a living. And I wanted to give those groups some props for being a great resource as well. If you know of others that should be on this list, please let me know.

Look for an announcement on the next get together (not really a meeting, more socializing). For now here’s the date:

Date: October 2, 2008
Place: TBA (Third Base, Belmont, Draught House, Shiner Saloon, etc)
Time: 6-7ish? (TBD)
