number 1 priority - ruok?

So, tons of cool things from the conf in LA, eating at Koi when Becks and Posh were there, and a summit on CGM in NYC yesterday - but first and foremost.... Tracy - are you OK re fires?

Our SD office is in Rancho Bernardo - closed all week and many evacuated - at least one guy lost his home.

Trying to connect - want to party tomorrow?

Arrrgh! Bummer! I fly out on the red-eye Wed. I was going to call you tomorrow am to see if you wanted to join a party I'm going to at the X Bar here at Century Plaza tomorrow night. These guys are pretty crazy and fun. Tonight we went to Koi. Excellent food and I heard Beckham was there, and potentially others, but I really didn't recognize anyone.....

I think the presentation went really well. I had people stopping me all day to say they were there and enjoyed it, so that was cool. Oh, and freakiness of freakiness - I ran into a chic I worked w/ 11 years ago and really hadn't seen since. She's now in LA working for a small media research firm.

Time flies, stress spikes, life goes on

It's been too long! Lots of stuff I could update you guys on. The YPulse Mashup was good - a very different, more conversational format than the Mega event. The CEO of Jones Soda, in his closing keynote, used a Kodak video (check it out)....


And Mortified is really entertaining, you should go see if you have a chance.

Anyway - I'm coming to LA Saturday! I'm presenting at the IIR Market Research Event. We were going to do an excursion to Santa Monica on Sunday but that got canceled, so I have the day on Sunday open and dinner on Wed (conf ends around 4:45, on the red-eye home so don't need to be at airport until 10ish).
Tracy, let me know if you're around! I'll be at the Hyatt Century Plaza (2025 Avenue of the Stars).

same old

its the same old crap, our company is working pretty autonomously.

I miss you guys, i so want to come on a vacation. what are you doing this summer? any stories?

Hiiiiii!

Hey guys!
I just checked your posts. Glad to see you checked in Sid! Jeeze! Hey, Aprille...let me know who the Boost guy is attending the YPulse conf. and I'll give you the dirt on his cool factor. Sid, how's Microsoft treating you?

Boosted Mobile on YPulse

BoostMobile is among the leaders for what Anastasia terms "bottom-up brand building". Supporting artists is always cool.

I want to go to these events too, but my company is not going to pay a dime more on my training this year.
