    Thanks to Paddy who came up with this idea, we are possibly looking at an informal business chat session for like-minded individuals.

    [b]Participants:[/b] Entrepreneurs, would-be entrepreneurs, and anyone interested to find out more about entrepreneurship. If you have friends interested, can bring them along.
    [b]Target size:[/b] 8 to 10 pax [i](due to space constraint)[/i]
    [b]Venue:[/b] Possibly Geek Terminal private room

    The date is not confirmed as yet, but it would be nice to see who will be keen and whether Sat or Sun is more suitable. Just indicate your name/handle and your preferred day. Note: this is informal. It's not some conference or anything like that.

    Why not... it's informal. But don't tell me you gonna sit there entire time... without saying a single word? Hahaha...!

    Don't worry lah, it will be interactive. If you have questions to ask people like Paddy, go ahead.

    I usually do that lol. I'm a very good listener.

    can sign me as tentative?

    I come from an entrepreneurial background (both parents are entrepreneurs) and might become an entrepeneur too at the end =P

    Would be nice to hear and share =)

    Hiyall,

    I suggested NLB @ Bras Basah to Paddy if it's gonna be a Sunday coz GT is closed on Sundays.

    Anyways, the POD @ NLB Bras Basah is a super nice place in glass overlooking most of the CBD
    See a picture here http://exhibitions.nlb.gov.sg/bookstobytes/zone4/thepod.html
    The ambient feeling I get there is similar to New Asia Bar and the Equinox (though it's nowhere as high)
    I'll make the reservation tomorrow (today Sunday) and see if I can get NLB to provide some food and drinks (at least drinks from the NESCAFE).

    In your response, can also indicate if you are coming for the Slingers' game after so that I can get your corporate VIP seats
    which costs $25k per season. There'll be food, drinks, beer, and wine served at the game but I'll need to know if you're
    coming for the game for sure so that I can make the necessary arrangements to get all of you VIP seats.

    For the Slingers' game VIP seats, each pingster can bring 1 partner/friend if you want.
    If you wanna bring your whole family maybe can be arranged. Please indicate early, thanks!

    The pod is a very nice place. Was there once and some photos I took can be found here...http://www.flickr.com/photos/illustrious/sets/690408/

    Looking forward to seeing all at this meetup.

    Endoh and Paddy, let me know if there's anywhere you need help with. :)

    2 Dec is cool for me. What time?

    yeah the place can hold hundreds but theorectically we can't conduct a session that effective given its casual nature.

    But if we have say 20-30 or even 50 people, we can break out into smaller groups based on interests.

    That's the thing we don't wish to see happen, that's why the initial suggestion came as a small group session like any other coffee session we have with our friends.
