[free] Coffee Tour Route mmm… I can smell it already

What SEO can do (in a nut shell)
What the SEO tour is about

Coffee Tour IS NOT The Workshop

It is a chance for me to answer all questions and to meet everyone in person. I will buy the first 20-30 people coffee and share some powerful blogging tips :D

My assistant (@bullysaurus) just made some crazy plans for the Coffee Tour based on the survey results, and now it’s ready!

City Not Listed?

Again, all of this was based on the top survey results. These are also most likely the cities that I will go to for the SEO workshop. If you do not see your city on here, gather up 10 people or so and I’ll make a trip out there! Thanks for taking the time everyone to answer the survey.

Cheers,

Lawrence

P.S. I love coffee very much (since a tot). I won’t be drinking coffee during the tour though. I learned my lesson in OC when I drank three cups and was parched. Coffee makes one more thirsty? Interesting. Plus I couldn’t sleep that well that night – that was no good.

P.P.S. Don’t know what SEO can do? http://www.tofurious.com/2009/04/seo-for-wedding-photographers/

Looking forward to hanging out in Ft. Lauderdale — there’s a great coffee shop 10 minutes from the airport called BREW Urban Cafe. Check it out.

nice man, you decided to come to Dallas! Time to gather up some funds! I just got the 5DMII so it might be tight!

Nathan August 29, 2009 at 6:47 am

How many people would it take to book another date in another city? I feel like I could get a bunch in Cincinnati and I know the perfect place. Let me know.

Russ Climie August 29, 2009 at 7:17 am

Since you’re not coming to Michigan, if I organize a group road trip, what are the details as far as cost, times, etc? Sept 9 is not too far away, so I’d love to grab this and run with it! Let me know if you’re able.

Best,
Russ

Oh my goshhhh. I want to come so bad. I’m flying out of Seattle on Sept 13th, so I can’t make that one. Flying TO boston until September 17th, but we leave in the morning. Are you kidding me? ;)

Which airport for the DC stop?

bullysaurus August 29, 2009 at 1:50 pm

We’ll be landing at Dulles (IAD) for the DC stop. Hope to see you there! =)

steve August 29, 2009 at 4:33 pm

If you’re ever in Phoenix let me know. I’ll take you to Lux Coffee Bar, the best coffee shop in the state.

Philly???

Kara Schultz August 30, 2009 at 8:13 am

You’re coming into ORD right for Chicago? Are you going to take the el into the city or a cab or do you want to chill out by the airport? I’ll totally be there either way :)

Véronique da Silva August 30, 2009 at 12:49 pm

Would love to attend – any chance of doing a workshop in Western Canada? Vancouver, or even better Victoria? If not, closest city to me is Seattle, which also works great! I cannot make the Sept.14 coffee tour though, but please let me know about the workshops!

Thanks!

Melinda August 30, 2009 at 4:48 pm

That is coming up soon! Seattle is closest to me. Still a couple hour drive.

I’m with Nathan.. Cincinnati would be super close

Reply

Stacy Reeves August 30, 2009 at 8:59 pm

I noticed that the only one you are doing on a Saturday is the Dallas one.. I REALLY wish you would move that one, or at least do it earlier in the morning, as many of the people who would want to attend are wedding photographers and will likely be busy that afternoon/evening. I would love to come but my Saturday afternoons are full with weddings. Hope the calendar gets revised, I would love to come!

Sweet dude, I’ll see you in SF hopefully!

Vadim Zee August 31, 2009 at 5:35 pm

I’d be glad to meet you during your DC stop! :) Please put me in list and keep informed! :)

May I suggest a really nice coffee place? Here it is:

In Houston, I *highly* recommend having it at CoffeeGroundz — or @coffeegroundz on Twitter. The place is awesome for things like this!!!

Reply

Cam September 1, 2009 at 9:19 am

Sounds like a great seminar! Come speak in the SGV area. Like Chipotle?

Reply

Sarah Hubbell September 2, 2009 at 12:31 pm

I second Christine’s suggestion of Coffee Groundz in Houston. It’s not near the airports but it is THE social media hub of Houston.

John September 3, 2009 at 1:15 pm

For September 9th in Chicago, how about Starbucks at the streets for Woodfield in Schaumburg if you havent decided yet? Downtown chicago is too congested. Oak Brook is a better second location. ORD is 20 minutes away.

Ralph September 3, 2009 at 1:21 pm

Are you chartering a Lear Jet? Man look at that schedule. :)

Jason Wallis September 4, 2009 at 8:53 am

It was really great meeting you Lawrence. You know your stuff and you are a really cool dude. Hope to work with you in the future. Yazy and I are already in the zone for applying SEO to our website and blog and also implementing the tips you taught us tonight. It was awesome Bob Davis was there along with the rest of the photogs. I had a blast.
Thanks!!

Hi, there!
Did you say that you were changing the date to the D.C. coffee tour? I thought you said earlier somewhere it was going to be held October 16th? Is that right?
