PubCon 4 - officially started - notes

[Brett_Tabke]

Myself and SugarKane celebrated the first beers of PubCon 4 tonight. (eg: I probably shouldn't be posting at this time. lol. If you log in and find anything really really weird, it can be safely discounted.)

- hotel - most excellent. Everything it was billed to be.
- hotel bar - rather small, but cozy. Micro brewery within one block!
- odds are running 40-60 on a certain WebmasterWorld member making it into the states ;-)
- Top new SEO tips and tricks...as if...you had to be there ;-)

...So is the strategy to spend the rest of the week in Boston building up your alcohol tolerance so come Saturday it'll be just like drinking water?

[caine]

generally is the state of play.

Brett, what can i say, i'm jealous. will be their at lunch time thursday for a beer.

[skibum]

Sounds like it's gettin' off to a great start :)

[Winooski]

Hey, I've been "head's down" the past month on a major project, just surfacing for air for PubCon. (Haven't been reading posts, bad boy.) What's the deal with Friday, are people connecting at the hotel bar?

[fathom]

Should arrive Friday morning. Would have liked to get there earlier but too much on the go.

See you all there.

[Rumbas]

We'll be around Wednesday around 5-ish to hook up with the early birds. Meet you in the bar.

[upside]

I'll be there Thursday afternoon. Looking forward to meeting people =)

[AAnnAArchy]

I'm so envious. Next one, for sure.

[deft_spyder]

I really hope the next one is on the west coast!

[Marcia]

>west coast

Actually, Las Vegas always has good deals. Hotels, great meals (especially buffets), and flights are cheap since they hope to get people's $ from gambling.

But the bay area would be awful nice if it's the right time of the year.

[Shak]

oh well. time 2 get ready and head for the airport.

I shall c u by sunset today I hope.

Picked up a fresh box of biz cards today. You think anyone will still be in the bar when I get there around midnight Thursday?

I had my Visa interview yesterday and was approved, now if the Embassy get their finger out I might make it Friday Afternoon. (No guarantees - knowing my luck they will lose the passport in the post)

[ClayCook]

[George]

Wow, started already! You lucky fellas!

reading this thread in the office is making me v. jealous as i can't get away to come over.

i hope you all have a good time, and drink a beer for me.

[George]

Thanks Tor, Guess I am used to UK weather, I never believe the reports. They often even get the direction wrong.

nothing beats getting it from someone on the ground!

I will pack my shorts then :)

George

[oLeon]

it's like a brashness:
I am still in Germany, and cannot arrive before tomorrow evening...grrrrrr...and then to hear about "pubcon opened"..........grrrrr................

[George]

oLeon....

....it is a cruel, cruel world! See you there!

George

[Bernie]

I kinda knew that 24th wasn't early enough. :-(

Leaving tomorrow morning anyhow. I'll be jumping in the lobby by tomorrow early afternoon, spare up some seo-secrets and fresh beers for me.

Marcia <<Actually, Las Vegas always has good deals. Hotels, great meals (especially buffets), and flights are cheap since they hope to get people's $ from gambling.>>

Mmmmm, Bellagio, Aladdin and Paris buffets. They're fabulous. I'm all for Vegas, as no travel is cheap travel.

<<But the bay area would be awful nice if it's the right time of the year.>>

San Francisco would be great too, since I used to live there and I'm looking for an excuse to go back. October is usually a really nice month there, all summer-like.

[DrCool]

I get in Thursday around 6. See all you there. Can't wait.

[George]

<<But the bay area would be awful nice if it's the right time of the year.>>
Yup, friends their to visit! Can we make it the skiing season?

Hang on, we havn't had this one yet!

England in October, Boston in Spring, Brett, you need to learn about spots like Jamaica, Cozumel, heck, even the Florida Keys offer up better weather than England and Boston... ;)
