SOBCon08 in Chicago: Holy Moly, This Is Awesome

www.inkthinkerblog.com — People, if you’re not here, you are missing out big. I’m so, so serious about this. SOBCon is one of the least expensive and most valuable conferences I have attended to date, and although it’s only one day of official sessions, it has been nonstop learning since I got to my hotel and connected with my first fellow blogger here.

From meeting people I recognized from their Twitter avatars to hearing URLs and throwing my arms around folks I’d been reading for more than a year but had never known their names, it’s been both emotional and incredibly educational.

I’ve heard brilliance from Chris Garrett, Brian Clark, Lorelle, and Anita Bruzzese, and we’re nowhere near finished. I’ve got a new strategy for THIS blog, and some major ideas for where I’m going with my career. And that’s just the beginning.

Session summaries to come when I get back to Virginia. And man, they’re going to rock.

    I wish I’d known about it. I’m glad to at least find out about her site. Maybe there will be another!

    Yay for you, Kristen! I was just checking out the Edge theme and I saw your trackback on one of the posts in the demo. It just sounded so happy I just had to come and look. I haven’t had time to peruse the sites on the list yet and here I found #1. Is that cool or what?

    I was rather surprised myself when Liz’s email with her eBook attached came whizzing into my Inbox saying I was a winner also. I had to check the list to make sure it wasn’t a mistake. Okay, I’m #46 but I entered late.

    So congratulations once again! Now I have another fine blog to visit every now and then.
