C.C. Great presentation, thanks for coming up and making that event so successful. I’ve been thinking about whether the presentation would work in the city and I think it can, with a minor change.

Small Town is like how city neighborhoods used to be. You stayed in your neighborhood, you bought from your neighbors, most of life was self contained (and usually ethnic). This started breaking up after WWII while Small Town took a while longer.

Both of my parents grew up in the Bronx. While my dad’s family was more adventurous, my Mom stayed put until she started part time work in Manhattan during college. It was a shock to her!

Parts of Brooklyn or South Boston may still feel like this, but I think if you put that twist on the presentation, it would fly in most cities.

I didn’t know you grew up in West Lebanon. My wife and I used to spend a lot of time at Eastman in Grantham. And of course that meant we spent a lot of time up in Lebanon and Hanover because there’s nothing in Grantham except the Mobile Mart and the Gro-Bev-Deli-Gas.

Anyway…let’s chat soon about SMB Metro-West.

C.C.:

Sounds like the event went very well. I’m thrilled to see that the SMB series has expanded to Vermont and that it’s off to such a good start!

Early this year in Austin, we also had a breakfast event around helping a local nonprofit. In our case, it was Mobile Loaves & Fishes, an organization that works with homeless and indigent working poor. We broke out into small groups as part of building a social media strategy.

And in San Diego, the SMB group there will be doing something similar for the rest of 2009 with a nonprofit called THINK Together.

It’s very inspiring to see smart and talented people put their social media interests and skills to work for such good causes.
