Hobnobbing with Bloggers
I joined in on all the fun last night at Hotel Utah where 50 or so other bloggers congregated. There was a mish mash of bloggers: different topics, different personal backgrounds, different blogging experiences. We all came together because of the blogosphere. You can see that we took over the bar on a Tuesday night. Had a lot of interesting conversations with people I would've otherwise never met.
Some of my highlights -
- I showed up early before the mass of humanity arrived and got to meet Shel Israel, author of Naked Conversations - a book that Jeremiah Owyang champions regularly.
- Learned about Greg Narain's company - Social Roots.
- Thanks for the great marketing tips and advice I got from Mario Sundar.
- Finally got to meet Chris Salazar who I heard on a podcast a few weeks back. He didn't deem me worthy enough to grab one of his business cards. Just kidding Chris. (Inside joke)
- Met Olivia Trieu, who is planning to start blogging on health tips and astrology. We also found out we're fellow alums from the same high school. Hopefully Olivia and I can collaborate on future blogs, I think it's in the stars ;)
- Shared some personal thoughts with Shirley about the wonders of the universe.
- Oh yeah! I got interviewed by Jeremiah for a future podcast with The Podcast Roundtable.
Thanks for the invite again Jeremiah!

Thanks for showing up --it's good to have the diversity that your blog brings.

Jeremiah,
I'm looking forward to future meetings. For a new blogger like me, it helps to see some real faces behind the blogs: to remind me the networks built in the blogosphere is indeed very real.
Chris,
No worries about the card, I've got your url! We can certainly keep in touch that way. Thanks for the kind words. I look forward to hanging out again too!
Les
Mario,
Glad we got to speak before we both decided to head out and call it a night. Thanks for the encouragement. Despite some early hurdles, I believe my blog will continue to gain momentum.
Les
