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).
