In addition to the great comments I've been receiving, (see comments for my posting dated 4/3) I had an IM conversation with a friend of mine who was talking about the exact same thing. So, I thought I'd just post up my comments.

It definitely does take more energy to create something out of nothing when it comes to relationships. This week, everyone's advice materialized over the course of this business conference I was at on the East Coast. The only thing in common was that everyone attending were user's of this product that the people sponsoring the conference manufactured.

So as the first day went along, we kind of when through those stale conversations of "Hi, my name is...what company do you work for?.... what do you do there? oh how long have you been there? etc." I met one of the upper level managers while asking questions about our system and he made sure to invite my coworker and me to the reception before dinner that night.

I ended up spending much of the social time talking to upper level managers and even one of the vice president's over non-business related topics. It was real nice getting to know people socially. And it wasn't like pulling teeth at all. Although none of cupid's arrows were seen whisking around the area (especially 'cause he's maried)...I've just got to learn to be patient and to try to make things happen so often.

Ok enough blabbering...till next time!!!

Oh and btw...if anyone likes or has heard of Pati straight out of Honolulu, he will be playing at E Komo Mai this Sunday at 8pm. Check him out!!!
