• I admit it. I'm a boot camp junkie. I've gone from a size 22 to a size 12, and even though I still have a long journey ahead of me to get to where I want to be, I know that I will be able to do it. I've never felt more empowered.
• I am thrilled with the Boot Camp program!! I love getting my workout done early in the morning and I'm already noticing results -- for one thing, my jeans are fitting better after only 4 days!
• I really enjoy this program. The best thing about the program is the variety it provides. No more boring exercise routines! We never know what is in store for us, but we know it will be a good, hard workout.
• I have been trying for so many years to get back in shape. I think Boot Camp has finally got me on the right path. And I am having so much fun. I never thought I could have SO MUCH FUN getting fit.
• I absolutely loved the camp - the benefits have carried over into so many areas of my life. I have recruited several friends to join me next time and plan to do your boot camp many more times before year end.

Our writing group will help you improve as an author:

• Guaranteeing peer critiques for short stories, poetry, book chapters, and essays. We want members who will give detailed peer critiques.
• Allowing you to meet online, when it is convenient for you.
• Allowing you to create your own private writing group on our site. This allows you to selectively choose your pool of peers.
• Matching you with your peers...if you give excellent critiques we will match you with authors who also give excellent critiques.

If you are serious about improving as an author then please join our writing group and get your work critiqued now.

Austin Horror movie club

I grew up on stuff like Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th. I used to watched Tales from the Crypt back in the day and various other horror movies. I want to meet other horror fans, and people who just have an appreciation for horror movies in general whether it is dumb B movies or serious stuff.

My plan is to schedule movies every couple of weeks in my apartment, and maybe more if the demand does develop. I have a 40 inch hd tv with blu ray and dvd.

Anybody is welcome just as long as you have an appreciation for horror. I plan on just having group members bring a movie and then we can vote on what we will watch.

Also my approval process is pretty simple. Please just have a photo of yourself and fill out the profile and I will approve you. I just ask this since I am inviting people into my home.

Drupal SEO with Ben Finklea
Wednesday, December 16, 2009 at 7:00PM

At our last meetup, we watched Michael Godeck tame the wily Drupal node with command line scripting and the clever use of Drush. This month, we turn to the hot topic of Drupal SEO with a well-regarded speaker on the subject, Ben Finklea of Volacci.

"Search engine optimization (SEO) is critical consideration that usually comes as an afterthought to most business owners. Get out ahead of the curve by implementing these SEO best practices. You’ve seen our SEO Checklist Module, now learn how to configure your site for maximum performance in Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

This presentation is designed to be fun and informative. You’ll walk away with a good understanding of all the modules you’ll need to do excellent SEO and you’ll also know exactly how to configure them for best results.

We’ll also have a little time for Q&A so bring your biggest SEO challenges and let’s solve them together.

Finally, we’ll help you with SEO positioning statements to use when selling site development projects. SEO is a great, ongoing work that most of your clients need.

Pre-requisites: Basic knowledge of installing modules and administrating a Drupal site. No coding necessary."

Check out what members are saying about The Austin Drupal Meetup Group:

"Great presentations, stimulating questions from the audience, eagerness to help everyone learn Drupal and build better sites, and turtle races at Little Woodrow's (although they said the season ended this week)" - Cliff

"Very dynamic group." - Michael Godeck

"A great place to share drupal ideas!" - pjw

"It's first rate, informative, and the speakers are the best around Austin in the Drupal scene." - Paul Walhus

"We will try to rotate Drupal topics, between Development, Business, and Design, for monthly presentations and follow these with conversation at Little Woodrows. Come out on the chance that you make an unexpected connection or learn something vital to your next Drupal project. Come to be inspired, and perhaps, to inspire someone else. We develop, build, design, and talk Drupal. We hope you will too!" - Lauren

• Guaranteeing detailed and well thought out critiques for authors who give detailed and well thought out critiques.
• Providing free online writing lessons.
• Saving you time by allowing you to meet online, when it is convenient for you.
• Matching you with your peers.
• If you consistently give detailed critiques we will match you with authors who also give helpful critiques.
• If you give poor quality critiques we will match you with the dregs of our writing group and you will receive low quality critiques in return.
• Accepting short stories, poetry, book chapters, and essays for critique.
• Providing detailed critique frameworks. Our critique system makes it easier for reviewers to consistently give quality feedback to each other.

• Since I started the boot camps, I have lost 14 pounds, lost 8" off my waist, 4" off my hips, 2" off each thigh, calf and arm.
• Boot camp has really helped me to get back in shape after having a baby. My body has come back to its pre-baby state in just a few months and I think I am in even better shape than before and have more energy to play with my 10 month old all day.
• It has been the best motivator for me. I have never been a very athletic person, so this got me excited to work out. I looked forward to it every day. I would love to do this every month!
• I love Austin Adventure Boot Camp!!!! I have exceeded my expectations for physical improvement. I definitely feel stronger and have better endurance.
• I have attended 4 boot camp sessions and will be attending until my legs fall off. It's hard to state which exercise is my favorite, but I would have to say that the most noticeable difference is in my upper body. My arms get more and more toned every time we work on them.
