You need to really focus on that as a goal. I was thinking about you tonight and wondering what arrangements you'll require and how those can happen. Prayer will help for sure to guide on this effort.
Actually, once my client pays, I'll have about half of the funds, so that isn't much of a worry. It's more the logistics that is the headache for me - getting from the airport to the hotel and then to any other locations in a city I don't know. I'm not concerned about the actual event, there'll be enough somewhat familiar people willing to help. I just may be quiet for that weekend, which isn't a problem. No, the biggest hurdle is getting from here to there, and hope I don't need to pee while on the flight! Other than that, I'm sure everything will be fine.
The diversity at SOBCon I feel was one of it's greatest attributes. I felt so at home from the start, everyone I looked at looked back and smiled. That just helped me loose that 'you know no one here' feeling. With my Moo cards in hand, with my newly printed and designed blog, not yet published, I felt secure in one thing, I had pretty Moo cards.
As I talked to people they were so creative, interesting, passionate, and real that I became almost addicted to meeting people and handing out my pretty cards. Everyone said "keep in touch, let me know when your first post is published" and I did. I keep in touch with so many of the SOBCon folks. I'm addicted to them and SOBCon. Poor me *smiles*.
I've found that I have been able to keep in touch with several of those folks and move beyond handshakes. Though I wouldn't mind the occasional dinner and drinks either. Ha.
She's not afraid or hateful of computers but she doesn't blog or that sort of thing, but I'm working on her.
If this is only part 1, I can't wait to read part 2. wow!
I know we're all hungry for some way to keep the flame burning until Chicago next May. I'm working on some ideas for getting our thoughts, our voices, and ourselves in the same place in a variety of ways. I'll be calling you to help me make it work.
From the picture to the spaces between your perfectly chosen words, you brought me back to the SOBCon feeling. Thank you!!

Thinking of SOBCon09 and the folks that will be going is part of the inspiration for this and upcoming posts. Also, it's just dang good stuff to write about.
