Minneapolis, Minnesota, the 17th City for my Breakfasts in 2008

Since January, I have hosted 31 breakfasts in 17 cities (Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston (2), Chicago (2) Miami (2), New York (7), Princeton, Providence, Philadelphia, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, Tel Aviv (5 + Airport City), Toronto, Vancouver, Washington DC) around the world. Yesterday morning, I hosted a breakfast in my 17th city of the year, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

I enjoyed visiting Minneapolis, Minnesota, and hosting a “Breakfast with Jeff Pulver (and Friends)” at Sandy's Place, at Best Buy, corporate headquarters. Special thanks to Best Buy for sponsoring the event. (I also enjoyed catching up with the statue of Mary Taylor Moore but that will be covered in a future blog post.)

I enjoyed introducing “real-time social tagging” to everyone at breakfast yesterday which also included members of Social Media Breakfast - Twin Cities. I’ve added Minneapolis as a city to return to host another breakfast in and to bring the “Social Media Jungle” road show tour to. Special thanks to everyone who came out for the event.

For the first time at any of my breakfasts, I took the liberty to speak at the event. I wasn’t planning on speaking but I did. And instead of speaking about some of the technology trends on my mind these days, which in retrospect I would have enjoyed doing, I shared a brief story of my life and my personal discover of what it means to follow your passions, embrace the opportunities that sometimes present themselves (“being lucky is o.k.”) and being able to do something because I wasn’t aware how hard it was to make it happen (“nothing is impossible”).

Mike Keliher captured my talk in this video:

During 2009 My goal is to run at least one breakfast in what are known as the “32 NFL Cities” as well as to expand my breakfasts to a number of foreign cities which I have visited since 1996. In order to get there, I need to find a number of sponsors who are interested in having their brand associated with my extended social graph which includes quite a number of early adopters / alpha influencers. I would appreciate hearing from friends who might know someone who knows someone who would be interested in being associated with my brand. I can be reached on Facebook (preferred) and on email - jeffp@pulver.com.

A slim, wide-eyed mygamegoldwoman almost human in virbanksfeatures eyed agamegold the pair. Her nose was sharp, but very elegant. She had tbcgold a pale, trade4gamebeautiful face the color of ivory, and veryge for hair she wore a wondrous mane of downy feathers. Her gown fluttered as she walked¡ªon two delicate worldofgolds but still sharply-taloned feet. ¡°Awake, awake you are,¡± she said with a pvp365 slight frown. ¡°You should rest, rest.¡± Krasus bowed to her. ¡°I am ezmmorpg grateful for your ighey hospitality, mistress, but I am well enough to continue on9a9z now.¡± She cocked her head as a bird might, giving the mageltk365 a reproving look. ¡°No, no¡­too soon, toogold4guild soon. Please, sit.¡± The duo looked around u4game and discovered that two chairs, made in the same ready4game fashion as the nest, waited behind happygolds them. Malfurion waited for Krasus, who finally nodded and sat.

Jeff, I really wished I could have attended. You should edit the title and the body of the post. Unlike Indianapolis, it's just Minneapolis, sans the second "n."
