I don't even see it on the calendar.  Not sure when they stopped going.  

Hi Kapil and Richard,

Sorry I haven't hosted any events in awhile.  I was funding this program through my own savings and now using my 401k retirement to get through life.  I'm still unemployed but started a new company called TheViralPublicity.com.

I will be re-starting PinkSlipMixers that will be better and bigger than the past.

 

Hi Edwin,

Thanks for the reply.  I just got laid off again, though this time, I think I'm retired, but I don't know it, yet.  :o)  I was planning to retire next February anyway.  I just may do it sooner.   

Richard

 

Hey Richard,

Hang in there.  During these challenging times, make the most of it and do something that you are passionate about. 

I'm doing my best to have fun and stay out of the depression zone.  I've started TheViralPublicity that is the same model as PinkSlipMixers.... maybe while helping businesses, I can make some money too.

I hope to be back in LA after the NAB show.  Let's try to get together over coffee....

Coffee would be great.  Right now I am just soaking it in that I can now sleep at night and my weekends are free.  (I worked graveyard and weekends)  I feel like I am vacation. :o)  I get to golf with my friends and my girl friend  like that I am fully awake. :o)

Later,

Dick
