1. Suzi, great post! I feel your joy and pain. Smile, this is all a good thing. And heading in the right direction. I don’t know what direction that is, but at some point in the future we are all going to look at this as “remember when?” CT Tweet Crawl is leaving a mark.

   Anyhow, I just got home from our second Infinite Mind Share. Our audience is strong, yet the common theme is “Fairfield County hasn’t embraced online networking”. The opportunity is ours. As I’ve told you before, Amy and I will carry the torch for Fairfield County (actually I’d be honored!). We have two events under our belts, the next one (April 27th) is nailed down, May is in the works, and june or july is being tossed around (beach, fireworks…hmmm!)

   Count us in as producers for the Fairfield County version of the CT Tweet Crawl!

2. Hey Suzi-
   We all appreciate your efforts and energy bringing this virtual group of friends together in such a huge way IRL. We are happy to rally and keep this great ball of energy moving forward.

   Rebecca and I are putting together the May event details and will let you know soon.

   Again big THANKS to you and Fathom.

3. I concur with my friend Ed that this heading in the right direction. I would only add, though, that having one producer and a co-producer for each town would be wise. I would be happy to take on Avon/Simsbury. Looking for a partner who will join me in this wonderful adventure. TweetCrawls have been great for me and my business and this will be an opportunity for me to give back. Do let me know when and where the next Infinite Mindshare Meetup is going to be. I would love to lend a hand.

4. Suzi, although I have yet to make one Crawl, I love the whole concept and apprciate your new direction to keep the movement growing! I’d love to help and wiling to co-produce in the Avon, Canton, Simbury area, Seshu. We have so many small businesses to spread the social media word to and I know we could have a great set of Crawls in the Farmington Valley.

5. @seshu The next Infinite Mind Share will be at Taco Loco in Black Rock (Bridgeport) on April 27th 6-8. They just won Best Margarita in Fairfield County from Fairfield County Weekly (and this is like the 4th time in a row). They have created a special Infinite Mind Share margarita for the evening! All are welcome. Join the Facebook page to keep up with our goings on.

   Best,
   Ed

6. Cindy – Please contact me – fei8ht at gmail dot com. I look forward to meeting you!

   Ed – I’ll try and make the IMS meetup. With kids it’s a little tricky to get away for the evening. I’ll do my very best to be there.

7. Hey Suzi

   You know me always up to the challenge, I’ll talk to Diana and see about doing one in Middletown, or if she’s too busy, I’ll plan one for Farmington a new restaurant just opened on the Farmington River, tight by George’s. They are supposed to be building a deck along the river so that would be a fun one.

   Thanks again for all your efforts, I would never of met so many great people if it wasn’t for you.

   Mike…

1. What is interesting about this is if you think about why you might go back to the same place to purchase again, it might be less about the product and more about the experience. Clients come to you because they need help with something, but they come back again and again because of the experience they had with you. Understanding the magic of the experience you deliver through your clients eyes is the critical insight as to how to understand, improve and train your team to perpetuate that experience.

2. what you guys did to the ARRL website just sucks. Very difficult to find anything. Did they actually pay you to do it?

1. Seth Godin refers to the art we create in business as gifts: whether you are a sales rep at Nordstrom’s who works there for the love of knowing your favorite customers better than their spouse does or you are a CEO like Zappos’ Tony Hsieh who offers his new trainees $2,500 to leave on their last day of training, just to see how much they want to stay.

   Per Godin, and now me, art is a gift. And, by its definition, a gift is not given for reciprocation. A gift is given for the shear act of giving. What you get in return cannot be monetized.

2. Art can serve many purposes (or none, but in that case is it still art?), but in my opinion one of its most powerful is the conveyance of an abstract idea or set of concepts not easily conveyed by any other means. A single painting, photograph, sculpture, building, can embody the essence of a society, a value system, a relationship of the part to the whole. It can deeply move us to embrace a new idea, better understand our place in the world, or help us to understand the boundaries we impose on ourselves. This is more elegant and powerful than any thick treatise.

   Art can be as permanent as the traditional examples above. It can also be transitional, changeable, temporary, uncontrolled, like the seasons. Medium may be constant, but manifestation fluid. In that case its effect is about our relationship to it; how it appears at a given point in time related to our individual or societal internal state. Here the right combination of timing, internal state, and manifestation of art creates powerful results.

   Then, Mood + Art = Change.

3. Interesting thinking Pete. What your driving on here is arts ability to create a new future, or multiple new futures depending on your perspective or state of being when you interact with it. As your perspective or state changes, so can it’s influence. This is a beautiful notion.
