Angelo,

While I think your advice is noteworthy, there area major differences between where you live (Toronto, Canada) and where I live (Middletown, CA). To begin, you live in a densely populated metropolitan area. I live in a rural, lightly populated area with bedroom communities. According to the difference in demongraphics, it should be much easier for you to draw a nice crowd than me. You have a larger audience from which to pull to begin with. In addition, the folks who attend your events probably work in the surrounding area. They do not have to travel to a different county just to do their job. That's one of the major drawbacks to living in a bedroom community - such as where I live. Most of the people who live where I do, must travel to a different county just to find employment. So, the focus of where these folks spend their money and most of their time is NOT where they live...but elsewhere. That means getting the locals to attend a local mixer is a real challenge.
