Friday Recap

Friday ended up being quite a busy and exciting day. Early in the day a friend passed along some tickets to the San Gennaro Feast, so we made plans to attend that evening.

A short time later while glancing at Twitter, I saw @ClickBooth announcing the winner of their @BlogWorld contest that I had entered here. I am usually 5-10 minutes behind on my Twitter feed, so I jumped to their timeline to find out I had won. Happy days, I was starting to think I was going to miss @BlogWorld completely.

After work we swung by San Gennaro and grabbed some subs and desert before calling it an early night. We are headed out to Lake Las Vegas today for the @BuckbeanBeer sponsored Village Craft Beer Fest. Hopefully I will have a few reports from their later and of course lots of Twitter updates.

Until then, arrrrr mateys.

Another Blog World Post

So I continue to try and find a way to gain entry to Blog World 09. Now from, XR.com, who request another posting.

So I thought I would just touch on a few more reasons, I really want to attend. If you check my posts from last year, you can see I attended New Media Expo. I did not get to attend the entire show, as I have a full time job. That job has nothing to do with blogging or social media.

My blogging is something I do for myself, and though I would love for it to become more than just a hobby... again my job gets in the way. So it is very frustrating when shows are expensive to attend. More so when they are in my backyard.

This year most of my trade show / convention schedule was shot down by the hopefully pending purchase of a house. It has put my life on hold for the past six months and left me with no room financially to attend much in the way of shows. Now that the house is almost a done, or not done deal I hope to get back on that horse.

Ideally I would love to start with Blog World / New Media Expo, but if it has to way until CES 2010, so be it. Anyhow, starting to ramble, thanks for your time.
