Pre-Conference Jitters
We're in the home stretch for Gnomedex 5. Going to bed later than normal (and waking up earlier than human) has us worn a little ragged, but we aim to be well-rested by the time Thursday night's party rolls around. Ponzi decided to capture a moment of pre-conference jitters on video, and you're welcome to watch what happened. However, I warn you to turn down your sound before you get about halfway through it. Watching the 5:00 video is likely to put you to sleep – it's not really that exciting. I'm serious: this is a real snoozer. The sleeper hit of the summer, some might say. I think she even ruined her digicam's mic in the process of filming. All for the sake of transparency. Take a couple of 'No Doz' before proceeding!!! Here we go.

You'll both do fine. My first Gnomedex was last year in Tahoe and I can only imagine how absolutely rockin' it's going to be this year.

Just had a brainstorm. You ought to have yourself wheeled out on to the stage bound to a hand-truck. Then have the escorts run away as if you are going to go ballistic once 'released'.
I know that none of this would ever happen. But I still think it would be a hysterical way to start off the conference (easy to do, too). Sort of like 'Pirillo unleashed'! ;o)

You should have some crazy events or stunts to liven things up. Like do a geek version of Fear Factor, like whoever will eat 5 pounds of pig testicles wins a palm or something.

Or how about a “hairiest Palm” gag contest. A germ of an idea grows!

I'm getting jittery myself knowing this will be the first Gnomedex I've missed! Don't know if I can stand the withdrawal, but medical problems have me finanacially strapped and physically sapped, so I will have to ruin my perfect record. Know it will be great and I am sorry to have to miss it.
