It’s SOBCon Time!

by Starbucker on May 10, 2007

Today I’m in Milwaukee visiting my family and counting the hours until Christine Kane kicks off SOBCon07 tomorrow evening.

In conjunction with SOBCon, I’m previewing my new “logo” (see the picture on the left), a (you guessed it) half-full glass. The folks who join me in Chicago will see the complete version, along with my new “tag” line.

A big thanks to Jesse Petersen for his design work – well done!

For those who can’t attend, the fine folks at the GoodBlogs will be taking lots and lots of pictures during the conference, and have set up a Flickr slide show so you can “check in” on us at any time during the weekend. Here it is:

Come back here often so you can soak in the SOBCon vibe, and start clearing your schedule for SOBCon08.

I’ll be back on Sunday or Monday with my wrap-up of the event.

It’s showtime!

Terry,

Can’t tell you how much I would have liked to attend.

As a lonely soul wordsmith, I am in search of an illustrator. Sort of like:

“Hey, you got words in my peanut butter.”

“Well, you got illustrations in my chocolate.”

Terry, one of the highlights of SOBCon was getting to meet you and watch you. Your energy, warmth and smarts helped make it one of the best conferences I’ve ever attended. I hope our paths will continue to cross and I’m already counting the days to SOBCon ‘08!

Hi David and Tammy! David, you missed something special – I hope to see you next year.

Tammy, you are too kind – thanks. I’m so glad you had a wonderful time, and I too look forward to next year (and getting another chance to visit with you).

All the best to you both!

It was soooo great to meet you this weekend. You are exactly how I imagined from your blog. Great personal branding, there Starbucker.

See you in ‘08, if not before. Give me a ring any time you’re going to be around Tampa.

Terry– it was wonderful meeting you! Love the energy you pumped out as MC! The interpreters told me that you have a great singing voice. :)

SOBCon looks, and sounds, to have been terrific. :-)

When things like it happen, and I enjoy it even when I’m not there, my glass is more than half full.

Terry, you did an outstanding job as emcee for the event. It was great finally getting to meet you in person. And Karen’s interpreters are right — you have a great singing voice!

TJ Mapes May 14, 2007 at 8:25 am

Hi Terry, I just wanted to say that you did a great job hosting the SOBCon event. It was great. And if you bribe me well enough, I won’t be putting your dancing video on the internet! :)

Thanks again Terry, and nice meeting you.

Thanks Jesse, Karen, Rick, Connie and TJ!!

Jesse, you are da man. I look forward to more collaborations.

Karen, what a pleasure to meet you. Your interpreters were very kind :-)

Rick, you are just going to have to close your theater next year – you are only going to make this better by coming to SOBCon08, my friend!

Connie, you are the best – and thanks so much for your kind words. Look forward to getting your input on SOBCon08

TJ, likewise it was great to meet you. And about that video……..did I really dance up there?? Oh boy :)

All the best to all of you!
