Last year at the London Pubcon [showcase.netins.net] I learnt so much in 2 days that I just couldn't miss Pubcon 4 in Boston [semconf.com]. The depth, and the concentration of knowledge combined with the informal 'sharing' that must be unique to pubcon is truly awe inspiring.
I'm not quite the millionaire I'd like to be with my new found knowledge and friends but, I'm definately a BIG step further towards it.
So, if you went to the other Pubcons or this one is your first time, share your thoughts and make those not attending jealous ;)

Nah, get a room at the hotel, alot (most) of the interesting stuff happens after/before the actuall event.
Anyone up for the unofficial affiliate meet again this year?
Nick
Hey I am in Atlanta and I have to drive home ;)
I am getting a long needed vacation so this will be business and pleasure. Can't wait to meet everyone! I want to go to the confrence but actually putting faces to nicks will be the best part. The amount of Internet knowledge that will be there is incredible.
Thought about that, but I don't think the wife is very fond of that idea :)
I'll just have to make due and get the heavy drinking in early ;)
> putting faces to nicks will be the best part
yup!
You name the time & place and I'll be there!
I'm on Thursday's 11:05 from Heathrow, I'm sure some other board members must be on that one too.
Unofficial affiliate meet? That a meet for people who do affiliate stuff? (like Sherlock Holmes me) I'd be in on that.
Can't wait!
Added flight day

Sure is. Last time it was Sunday morning at 10am (and boy, was it TOUGH to get it together for that!).
I suggest a more gentle time this year as their were a few notable exceptions to the meet that I suspect were only because of the unearthly time of it ;)
Still, with the folks that did attend it was a real eye opener and a nice chance to get to meet some very serious affiliates...

>bags packed
hehe - funny guy! (it's not 2 hours to flight time is it? lol)
And big thanks to the mods/admins not coming to pubcon for going above and beyond the call of moderator duty and watching the board while we are there.
Well, that sounds like a good plan!
So, top hats and tails same as last year guys?
Nick
Joining the Vikings down in SC for a pre-pubcon warm-up, then heading up to Baaastun a little later.
Anyone up for some seafood on Thursday night?
Looking forward to seeing all you there.
Could be up for a beer or two but I think we have plans thurs (according to mrs Nick_W)....
Nick
Count me in! :-)
Back to pubcon....
Do we have a full list of attendees anywhere, I'd search through the 'attend' threads but well, ya know I'm lazy and that's way too much like hard work...
Nick
Pubcon is waaaaay more than that. Apart from clandestine meetings and checking out what geek girls look like you get to see if the Google reps drink!
Seriously, last year, I didn't see one G rep with a beer in his hand. An outrage obviously, but what can ya do?
Also, apart from the phenomenal networking and general 'meeting folks' stuff Position Tech have really cool pens they give away...
I'm a simple man, give me a free pen, a pint and good company and I'm pretty happy ;)
Nick
And Nick, count me in for the backroom affilate meet.
a free pen, a pint and good company...

There's a very famous old restaurant in Boston called Durgin Park. Tedster can probably tell us all about it. I haven't been there since 1959.
Any affiliate folks up for a prime rib at Durgin Park? How about it RC, eljefe3, Nick, Drastic, Oilman, etc.?
And welcome Haiko.
Yeah, even though I tried to tell them that I was just playing around and not really an affiliate worth their attention, they apparently decided to bill me for the lion's share of the military budget or something.
>back room
But, but, some of us like/PREFER the back room stuff, g60!
>restaurant
You know my answer to that one. (If you don't, I'm sure someone will fill you in shortly.)
And welcome, haiko!

I know, and we'll be there. But you know how I like my restaurant crawls, BT! De boyz and I will start warming up down in SC, then work our way up the coast.
