Unfortunately, I am not the strongest networker and tend to turn wallflower in large groups. Give me a few, like-minded people in a relaxed environment and I am just fine. Knowing that I&#8217;m not alone in this regard, I have decided to pose a question to my fellow artists who might want to meet on occasion:<\/p>\n<h4>Where do you want to meet?<\/h4>\n<p>I talk to people all the time about getting together. Perhaps we want to plan a shoot, discuss business in general, or just burn an hour getting to know each other better. Whatever the reason, unless purposely planned, I find it difficult to arrange time for conversation with other creatives. It turns out that I have always been a bit of a homebody and few come to my house with the sole intent of chatting with me. I want to encourage a little more face to face interaction without the pressure of syncing calendars or puzzling out where to meet.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m looking to find a location that is not too far removed from home where I can just sit for an hour or two. I don&#8217;t want to be an undue burden on someone&#8217;s business by taking up room in their establishment and not spending any money. That alone rules out certain places that do not cater to the non-coffee drinker that is your&#8217;s truly. I am looking for recommendations on where I can hang out without being a bother.<\/p>\n<h4>A Few Criteria<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Laptop friendly so that I can connect to the internet and work (or play) to my heart&#8217;s content<\/li>\n<li>Drinks other than coffee or alcohol are available<\/li>\n<li>Food options are always welcome in case I get the munchies<\/li>\n<li>Owner\/managers who won&#8217;t condemn me for loitering once a week or so<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>General Location<\/h4>\n<p>I would like it to be relatively close to home. Yukon, Bethany, and Piedmont are all within a few minutes of my front door. Downtown Oklahoma City is not out of the question, either, but it would have to be a really nice fit. It should be easy to find, parking should not be an issue, and I&#8217;d prefer not to be the subject of a &#8220;Where&#8217;s Waldo&#8221; style search if someone should come looking for me.<\/p>\n<h4>Almost Always An Alternative<\/h4>\n<p>Of course, arranging to meet somewhere, including my home, is usually a good option, too. Photowalks or meetups? I enjoy these, but they are inevitably scheduled on evenings that are usually locked up for me.<\/p>\n<p>In short, I&#8217;m open to suggestions that will help us get together and, hopefully, be mutual inspiration to push our creativity a little further.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I enjoy the company of creative people.
