Hi Sarah,

Thanks writing such a detailed article. I wasn't thinking this was newsworthy on the level of WP Tavern but am glad you saw my tweet and thought it was.

One tiny correction; I have not actually been organizing professional meetups for the past eight years. Instead I ran a web entrepreneur (aka startup) meetup for 3.5 years and then took over 4 years off of organizing meetups. So now I'm just getting back into the meetup organizing groove and really looking forward to it again.
