I go to about 1 or 2 per month. They range from tweetups to happy hours to events sponsored by professional groups to stuff they hold at the university. Networking helped me obtain my current job, got me a chance to string for the AP and opportunities to speak at meetings. I would certainly encourage you to continue to network, but probably tone it down a bit. I don't live in a huge metropolitan area like you, but I sure wouldn't go to more than 1 event per week...That's exhausting! If you are seeing the same people at every event you go to, maybe you should branch out into different group. Techies are fun, but so are PR people...Old-timer publishers have great stories to tell and broadcast folks are totally different in real life than on TV. Everyone brings something different to the table. Networking is different than "making friends", especially in my case, because I like to keep it professional. Of course, you do sometimes run into those people that you click with, and that's always nice. I think you're doing an excellent job so far, but if you need to take a break, do it! There's no requirement to network 24/7, but I feel that those that do have more opportunities available to them than those that don't.
