I am way too tired and sore to do a full recap of yesterday and today’s adventures. So here are the highlights, photos to come soon:
- Lots of people who are “internet famous” at least to me, are now my friends. And that’s cool. It makes them less intimidating to talk to, for sure.
- I did a lot of silly stuff both at the conference sessions and at the Ice Bar, and now people know who I am – which is weird to me.
- Women seem to like me. It’s great for my self-confidence. I’m not sure if these women were drunk or not, but I’ll take what I can get.
- I danced last night at the ice bar and now my legs are sooo sore.
- Today was great – lots of awesome sessions. Technosailor, Chris Brogan, and others spoke. I also got to stand up and mock Boogie Man (at TellingDaddy.com) by singing “Boogie Man” in front of everyone at the conference. I then asked my question about how I want to build meaningful relationships with advertisers, not just one-off engagements and received excellent feedback from advertisers.
- I forgot my ID tonight at Howl at the Moon and couldn’t get in. I went back to the hotel and it wasn’t there either. Apparently it fell out of my pocket in the car. Also, locked room keys in hotel. Got that fixed.
- Had fun dancing and singing at Howl-at-the-Moon. It’s a really, really fun place. We had VIP section preferences and I got lots of drink tickets from Ted Murphy. Since I was DDing, I gave them all away to make friends.
- I jumped into or took my own photos with me and just about everyone I met.
I’ve got an idea for an interesting contest that I will announce as soon as I can confirm all the sponsors. It’ll be a Halloween giveaway, so keep an eye out.
I am not a woman…. but I like you too!
@TedMurphy Aw, shucks. Thanks Ted! I like you too – every one was so fantastic to meet this weekend!
Wanted to thank you again, for your extra drink ticket at Howl at the Moon. Going to email you this week, the family battled the flu this week, and I'm spent. It was great meeting you at Izeafest. Hope to keep in touch!
Hey, no problem! I was DD for the evening, and still had a pretty good time! I got sick too on the way home from IZEA Fest, so I know how you feel. I'm still getting over it.
It was really nice to meet you, too! Just shoot an email over to rt@ragingtech.com when you are ready to get started on straightening out your blog stuff.
