I don't want to sound like a whiney sissy, but here it is: I've seriously tried. Chamber meetings are packed with super professional looking, suit and tie, type folks. I'm no suit and tie guy. I have a couple shirts with buttons, but... I just looked into the meetings earlier tonight, before reading your reply (sorry, I'm 6 days late) - the partnership fell apart and the meetings have stopped. Guess nobody went. I've put ads on Craigslist, posted flyers in coffee shops, hung out in said coffee shops. Hung around Wake Forest, pestered business professors, went to several meetup.com events (completely irrelevant events, but events nonetheless)... Thank you for the motivation, I'm going out there! :D
