A Noonhat Lunch with Beth Goza and Deepak SinghAfter Brian Dorsey’s Noonhat presentation at the 4th Ignite Seattle I decided to give his app a shot: sign up on a particular date and find random people to eat lunch with. Simple enough, and fun too.

Wednesday morning, right on schedule, I received an email confirming the fact that there were two other folks in my proximity with the same plans as my own. I got the email addresses of Beth and Deepak and we began to exchange pleasantries and firm up the details.

Then there was the email from Brian asking if King 5 could tag along. Lunch with strangers isn’t nearly as awkward as lunch with cameras and microphones.

Thanks to Beth and Deepak for a great lunch. You can check out Noonhat here, and see King 5′s coverage here.

    It was great meeting you and having a great lunch. I believe you chose the venue and it was excellent.

    See you around, either at the next Ignite or at … Lunch

    Yes, I’m sure we’ll see each other soon. Lunch couldn’t have been better, thanks!

    Hi Alex!

    Thanks for doing the interview, and for writing about the lunch! I hope it was worth it in the end. ;) Think you’ll give it a try again someday?

    Take care,
    -Brian

    Brian,

    I’m most certainly doing it again, and it was definitely worth it in every regard. I’m thinking twice monthly. ;)

    Also I think it’s great you’ve expanded the service to all of North America. Congrats!

    Alex,

    I love the picture on your website of the log crossing Backbone Lake. I’ve been ransacking the web trying to find something that will work as a cover for the book on “Living by Faith” I’m about to self-publish, and your picture is the best thing I’ve found. I wonder if it would be possible to make some arrangements with you so I can use it.

    Please email me back as soon as you can. Or you can call me in southern California at (714) XXX-XXXX.

    Thank you,

    Bob Sears
