Survey Comments
- The location is not the problem, it’s the day of the week. I would like to attend but I work in clinton and begin at 7:30. Earlier or a saturday and I’m in.
- Let’s keep this going as it is a grand thing to have in Knoxville. The location is ideal to me, but that being said, I would rather change the locale than have the breakfast cease to be.
- Thanks for putting on this excellent social event for Knoxville geeks!
- Your survey requires a check on a date that is NOT good for us… it’s possible that there are no days that are not good, but I had to check one, so I picked Mondays :-)
- The survey would be better if we could fill in text. For instance, on #12, I would have said sometimes. I had absolutely zero interest in attending a Geek breakfast in possibly the non-geekiest section of Knoxville. The downtown/UT area seems to be to be a) more centrally located and b) much hipper, geekier, say what you will. An IHOP in Farragut definitely turned me off.
- It’s always a colorful group of people. :-) Hey, maybe we can do a round of gadget show-and-tell.
- I live in Johnson City so it’s quite a haul for me to attend, I keep meaning to, however. Probably won’t ever be a regular, at least at this point.
- Thanks for all your efforts. I’ve just had too much on my tray at work to make the meetings. I’m getting more help and I can perhaps begin to attend.
- I’m starting a new job in a couple of weeks so all of the above may be null and void depending upon my new employer.
- Don’t take peoplese pictures and post them. That really bugged me. I wanted to be a geek at breakfast… but photos of me in a hat are not cool where I work.
- How about lunch instead? I’m a self-employed night owl and would be very likely to attend every month if it were lunch vice breakfast.
- Thank you for asking for our input!

    Holy Cow. If this was me:

    Don?t take peoples pictures and post them. That really bugged me. I wanted to be a geek at breakfast? but photos of me in a hat are not cool where I work.

    I’d find new job or lighten up. A hat in your off time looks bad? Really?
