Hi Mike,
And I’d love to meet you too.
Well, I’m just me (not sure if that is exciting or not)
I’m asing if there is a wiki or Facebook group for us to connect on this week.
And Merlene, I look forward to meeting you too!
Patrick says:
Thanks for the mention. Definitely looking forward to meeting you, as well.

You’re going to have a GREAT time! I wish I could say “see you there” but it’s not in the cards for me this year. I’ll be speaking on a panel for a conference at the end of the month though (that’s exciting).
Anyway, do have a great time! Take lots of photos and bring them back to share
Connie says:
Hey Adam, I’m going to try out yoono in advance
Looks like it could be competition with Digsby (which crashes)
Yes, Mr Alston – definitely see you there
And Ricardo, I missed it last year, 2 podcamp Boston’s & SxSW – but who’s counting?! Congrats on your speaking gig – rock it!
perfectporridge says:

Jim Farrell says:
Have a great time in Vegas Connie. If you have a chance see the circus show with the Beatles, it is fabulous.
Make sure to meet Stephanie Agresta. She is a great person and very smart. Tell her I said hello.
Jim
Toby says:
Connie – I don’t know which I’m most interested in the sessions, the networking or just hanging out with friends. Can’t wait to see you!
Connie Bensen says:
Def see you there @Greg.
Jim there will always be another time.
And Toby -I know! It’ll be a great time methinks!
Ricardo Bueno says:
Well as it turns out, things worked out for the best and I made it out
(Duh, we only finally got to meet!)
Connie, it was great to meet you in person! And I’m not just saying that to be nice. I really do hope we can get together again some time soon and just sit and talk.
I’m glad you made it out and got to meet your on-line friends, off-line.
Paul Chaney says:
So close, Connie, and yet so far. Why did we not meet? Or, did we? No, I’d remember. Next time for sure!
Teresa Boardman says:
I remember how amazing it was about 18 months ago when I met so many of the people who live in my computer for the first time. I gotten to travel all over the country this year and meet more of them. I should have checked to see who from MN was going to Blog World and I could have met some local folks.
Connie Bensen says:
Hi Teresa,
We will connect sooner than later. I’ll be back down to the Twin Cities for SMB.I just work & live in my bubble up here
Smile – it’s not snowing yet!
