As a freelancer, one thing I really miss is being around with like-minded people on a daily basis. Maybe I don’t hang with the right crowd, but there doesn’t seem to be a hell of a lot going on in Connecticut lately. No offense intended to the awesome artists and bands, but gallery openings/showings/shows aren’t really my scene anymore. On the flip side, I’m sure I’m not the only one who would rather stumble barefoot into a fire ant nest than “tweetup” with “social marketing gurus” and “pro-bloggers” or whatever.

This is where I refer back to the title and reiterate that connecticut needs some sort of build guild type of jam. Salem has one, Philly has one, Albany has one, the entire state of CT has nada! So yes, in not so many words, I’d like to do exactly what they have already done. (Hope to hear back from these dudes, I’d hate to have to try to think of my own clever name)

Back to my point: I’m trying to put together some sort of a “web developer and/or designer” group to meet on a monthly basis to just plain hang out, eat wings, consume cold beverages and be merry in general. And if the copywriters feel they can behave they may even be invited too! I’m checking out a local put (in Torrington) this weekend that has offered to host the event(s) and even hook up beer/munchies specials. Fingers crossed.

Please drop me a reply here or on twitter if you are at all interested, thanks.
