PCP – Post Conference Procrastination

Posted by tarryg on July 11, 2006

Yeah, okay so I’ve been back from Gnomedex 6.0 for almost two weeks now and I still haven’t looked at the business cards that I collected or written more than one or two emails to anyone. That’s pretty pathetic eh?

I heard about the conference at the Seattle TechCrunch Party (what was I doing in Seattle at this event – thats another story). Mike Arrington got up at the party to hold court. He saw Chris Pirillo in the crowd and told everybody that Gnomedex 5.0 was the best conference he had ever been too. That was enough incentive for me. Of course I never got around to booking the conference until it was sold out. I ended up buying a main room ticket via Craigslist from Dylan Greene though. He couldn’t make it – his loss my gain – thanks Dylan (at least he got his money back).

Anyway I had a great time in Seattle at this conference – probably the best “geekout” I’ve ever been too – okay the only geekout I’ve been too (other than when I was in high school and spent the night on a garage roof with a couple of freinds taking notes on a meteor shower).
Met some great people like Matt and Mike .
Chris Pirillo and his fiance Ponzi put on a great show, and their love for people oozes. I will be booking for Gnomedex 7.0 as soon as they post the details.

So whats next? – possibly wordcamp in SF, August 5th.
oNe,
