Off to Gnomedex next week: “…I’m looking forward to seeing a bunch of people in person for the first time in awhile—I haven’t seen Chris and Ponzi in person since my wife Air, our friend KA, and I went to their wedding in late 2006, for instance. It’s also my first trip out of Canada since my cancer surgery last summer. I’m glad I’m feeling well enough to go…”

i WISH i could go. I’m actually going to be in the Portland area around that time, but I can’t make it, as I’m actually flying in the 21st, and I’m going to be quite busy there. I’ll try to watch it live. Chris, will it be “youtubed” and do you think you’ll offer a scholarship for next year/the next Ggomedex? You’re awesome, Mr. Pirillo, and a great help to me as well as thousands and thousands of others, I know. :)

AARRGG!! I am really getting tired of all of these 18+ age limits!! I can’t join any affiliate program, I can’t get any sponsors for my blogs, I can’t even go to Gnomedex!

I understand though…. I guess….. *cry*

You know I thought about it, but I just don’t think it would be my thing. You know if it had a live band with some good rock music, a decent dance floor, and a real party hearty kind of thing to it…I would be there in a heart beat.
Just that whole upper class thing that I heard goes on, I just wouldn’t feel too relaxed. It would be cool if it was like a three day like thing, where people could come whenever over that time period, for whatever events they were interested in, and only charge $25-50 a ticket.
The buffet is just refreshed throughout the event, with food that most people can relate to, good quality of course, but not through the roof in price.
You could have tech classes and lectures, and people could learn all kinds of stuff. That way people could choose what they wanted to listen to, instead of having what happened last year occur. There are just so many different kinds of Gnomies I have noticed, and some groups and ideas just really clash.
Of course there would be vendors and such. It would be really cool too if you had a special part of the event, where people shared their best technological ideas, created devices, and hacks. You know, more of a hands on kind of event, where people can really get into what is going on, in their area of interest.
Just my thoughts anyway.
