The morning of Thursday, May 30, I got up super-early to attend #sbfpotomac - the Web.com Small Business Forum tour stop in the DC area. It was held at the Bethesda Country Club.

Bethesda Country Club: Home

Bethesda Country Club. ... a memorable experience embraced by tradition to create a sense of well-being with all the comforts of home. ...

The first people we saw from Web.com upon entering. Standing wa Brooke McCrory. From Left to Right seated were Liz Bush, Heidi Harrington and Kristi Anderson. Shout out to Sangita (whose name I hope spelled right) - she helped me twice but couldn't catch her for a pic!

#sbfpotomac · Tinu

Breakfast was served beforehand. There was even more spread to the left and right.

#sbfpotomac · Tinu

I arrived at about 8:15 am and the space was already jam packed. Almost all the seats were taken and there were still people outside getting food.

SCORE provided us with the lovely Dee Rogers, a SCORE mentor.

The Social Swami Shashi Bellamkonda was in attendance. I think maybe there are wings on his car- how else is he Always Everywhere?

Inside Shashi Bellamkonda's Current Workspace

Tinu Abayomi-Paul — Sat, 02 Mar 2013 02:14:38 GMT

After 13 years, my Web.com/Network Solutions lifeline is leaving his post. In the images below, I struggle to suppress my feelings of abandonment, and focus on the peek I got into his office.

Storified by Tinu Abayomi-Paul · Fri, Mar 01 2013 18:14:38

Inside The Network Solutions Building

I got to the meeting about an hour early on a windy morning. (Why was I there? I'll come back to that at the end.) Before I went in, I took a quick snap of the Network Solutions building - one day it may say "Web.com". Then it was off to the lobby.

The entrance to the Network Solutions building · Tinu

These were in the lobby. I found myself wondering how many were because of Shashi or someone on his team.

A whole lot of Network Solutions Awards · Tinu

Remember these awards when we get to Shashi's office. ;)

Inside Shashi's Office

We weren't actually planning a stop here, but Shashi kindly volunteered to take me to Dulles so I could take the Washington Flyer home. He had a couple more things to do before leaving. I took this picture when he went to get some water.

Without Shashi, it's just a desk & some papers · Tinu

When Shashi came back, he was in the spirit of my picture taking. Very accommodating I would have punched me. But then, I don't really like carbon-based life forms as much as he does.

Shashi smiled for my annoying pictures · Tinu

As I sat waiting for him to finish, I sat opposite him in the visitor's chair, and then I saw what was posted to his wall.

Left wall of Shashi's office · Tinu

Next. a close-up of the Tech Titan clips from Washingtonian magazine. Impressive. Perhaps not as much as the photo that follows it.

Shashi is a Tech Titan · Tinu

Okaaaaaay. "Shashi", I said between giggles, "What is this photo about?". He may have said something about a contest when I was ROTFLMAO.

Shashib is in the Hizzy fo Sheezy! · Tinu

As fun as that photo was, the shock of it was nothing compared to the sight of Shashi with a full mustache!

Shashi ad a mustache! · Tinu

Here Shashi is again, pretending not to notice my many interruptions. Working on yet another presentation if memory serves.

Yahoo,Telecommuting & The Marissa Mayer Reactions

Tinu Abayomi-Paul — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 00:37:44 GMT

This has been a fascinating news story to watch. It was truly a struggle not to rush to judgement - and taking the time to observe all viewpoints led me to intriguing discoveries.

Some background on Marissa Mayer.

Tinu Abayomi-Paul — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 22:41:42 GMT

This was one of the top three panels I've Ever been to during Social Media Week in DC, and this is my third year attending several sessions. It was about the emerging majority in America, and how the NAACP managed to reach them for voter registration drives in the last two elections via mobile.

We re getting ready for our #tedxadmo event! Cecilia from @witsendpuppets will be welcoming you! http://yfrog.com/gza5bnbj · TEDxAdamsMorganWomen

I still remember how excited I was about this event. It takes a lot for me to venture out to DC on a Saturday. But two of our Women Grow Business community members were speaking, and one of them was kicking things off!

Since the venue did not provide wifi and I had to rely on AT&T on my iPad and T-mobile on my phone, in an area of the building that didn't have great coverage for ANY carrier, there weren't as many tweets and pictures in the stream to rely on as there usually are at these events.

So, when we didn't have Twitter comments, there wasn't as much material to include in this summary besides pictures and comments tweeted later. I've supplemented each speaker's section with a link to their site, ( their bio page if I could find it) and the video that has just published to the TedxAdamsMorgan YouTube channel.

There's also a section near the end, dedicated to the TEDxWomen live stream, which we saw during the second half of the event, and also have full YouTube access, as you'll see below.
