Meeting in San Diego

I just posted a new meeting that will be in San Diego on Sunday, August 25. @MrDavid is the event organizer. In addition, two others from the top 25 will be there, as well as David Book from Buzztouch. Date: Sunday, August 25 Time: 1:00 PM Locations: Smash Burger, 2556 Laning Rd, San Diego I wish I could be there too! I can tell you all from personal experience that a meeting with other Buzztouch users is extremely fun and something you don't want to miss. Everyone is welcome.

Hi Susan, Thank you so much. Mark, Jake and myself are super excited to meetup and to meet others in the community. I wish you would be there too! We will need to do something like what you mentioned to me last time. Edit: Mark chose this awesome meetup location at Smash Burger, and Menu's should be online for anyone who has time to eat while we chat away. I don't think Mark can stay too long but he will for-sure post about that. Guys please send me a private message if coming: https://www.buzztouch.com/MrDavid See you all soon.. so excited! David

I'll be there! It's a weekend for my daughter, though (our main goal is the Taylor Swift concert in LA), but we can hang for an hour or so to eat a burger and say HI! Then it's off to the beach before we head home. Totally excited! Mark

My daughter, Samantha, who is 13, wanted me to ask if anybody coming had any kids (especially babies) they wanted to bring. For some reason, she thinks she's going to be bored hanging out with 10 geeks! But keep in mind that we're only hanging around for an hour or two. Mark

Unfortunately she doesn't enjoy burgers (though that Smashburger has some of the best I've tasted). Fortunately there's a Mexican food place there, a pizza place, as well as an asian bistro. Lots of choices! Mark

There's beaches just a few miles away...that's my daughter and I's goal. Ocean Beach is the best! In the immediate area, there's a nice walk along the nearby channel. And tons of shopping in the immediate area!

I have to say that the one I had there in San Diego was literally one of the best burgers I have ever had. Maybe I was super hungry, but it was darn good! And the shakes rock!

It's 3AM and Samantha and I just rolled into Tucson. A super uneventful drive back home, which is always good! I can't say enough good things about this meetup! It was amazing to meet everybody who attended. And the additional family members who came gave us a glimpse into the people who support all the time we spend in the forums! Some truly wonderful people! Thank you very much MrDavid and Jake for arranging this meetup. Many thanks to David for traveling all the way from Monterey to hang with us. And to Scott's daughter for coming to hang with my daughter! Amazingly enough, I spent more time talking to family members than I did BTers, and that was awesome! You all rock! Let's do this again real soon! Mark
