Erin, yes, let's do that next time - great idea!

Although, I don't know that I will be able to talk to you anymore if you become a regular churchgoer!!

Kathy - I will DEFINITELY look forward to seeing you guys at The Bridge when you come. That will be fantastic.

I totally understand about us not being able to hook up at the conference, it really was crazy. At least we got to talk for a minute in the restroom, LOL.

Gary - I think you're on to something there. I sent you an e-mail.

hey erin, so glad to meet you. wish we could have had a real conversation but it was all a little nutty with so many from the refuge there. glad you got to at least meet karl, too. i had such a good time at the conference, so encouraging and good for my soul, always makes me feel not so crazy. next year for sure let's make time, though. jose and i are coming up to portland to hang out with ken/deborah/thebridge in january so hope to maybe see you then.

Just a thought . . . in light of your comment to Nate about connecting with people being of more value than lectures, what would happen if a bunch of people got together just to hang out and have conversation? Something informal, maybe even with a couple questions on the table.

I think we've talked about this before. It would probably take an extrovert to get it together. But if the focus was on connecting informally for a Saturday. A structure-optional type thing. I don't know. just a thought. Does that sound too staged, too lame, too much work, too formal, too informal?

Maybe it's just better for people to connect naturally in their local communities?

And, maybe it's too soon after a conference to even think about it. But there's something about just talking with other people who share similar dreams. Duh. Why do I need to say that? That's what you just experienced.

This is what kind of thoughts happen when I don't get my expected connection with other otherly-people fix.

That all sounds very cool. I'm bummed about not ha...

That all sounds very cool. I'm bummed about not having been able to be there, and even more so because I was fighting a Microsoft product the whole time. (and continue to do so tonight.)

We'll meet at the next one, or some other conference, or at a regional Off the Map Bloggers Meeting or something.

Nate - I have a girlfriend whose 9 year old daughter wants to be like me...pink hair and all. I told her I didn't look this cool until I was over 30, so she has to wait awhile.

2007-11-05T20:09:00.000-08:00

Pam - I agree that we should book Helen for a block of time and get someone to fill in for her apron, ahem I mean concierge, job. LOL.

Anyhow didn't I tell you, like, um, a year ago, to use GReader? You call me techno-sexual but don't listen to my advice...

2007-11-05T20:07:00.000-08:00

Nate - I have to say that the people were more important to me than the teachings - or "conversations", as it may be. I think we all learn more from each other than from being "talked at".

2007-11-05T20:04:00.000-08:00

PS-My daughter asked if she could have pink streaked into her hair. She is also wearing black nail polish. It is no fun being the father of a teenage girl in this day and age.

2007-11-05T20:03:00.000-08:00

hey girl, i'm glad we could be conference buddies two years in a row now. yes! and i'm very glad che and esther could be a part of our slumber party. we all mixed well together i thought, and yes, i know i am the schmooze mistress (jerry has patiently waited many times for me) so thanks for letting me be me. i'm glad you and che were able to chill out together.

but next year, let's kidnap helen for a bit all to ourselves and take her out on the town. i'm glad i got my parking lot conversation with her, but imagine how really great it would have been over drinks and LIVE music.

glad you are in my life, erin...!

{hug}

(ps - i'm finally setting up google reader! it is so easy. i wish i had done this ages ago......expect to see a more active me in the blogosphere!)

I am glad you got to meet a bunch of cyberfriends in RL. It souds like the connections were a great part of the event. I am glad you had fun.

It is also nice to see you stepping out again.

Sue - Exhausting for sure. But worth it!

2007-11-05T17:38:00.000-08:00

Helen - Yeah, I'm sorry I missed the chance to talk with you, but Che and I were hungry!

Next time you and I will have to make a date, even if only for a bit.

Hey John - You're very welcome. It was so nice to actually meet so many people whom I only know online.

Sounds good ... and exhausting!!!!

Erin, there were a number of people I would have loved to spend more time with - you were definitely one of them - the time ran out so quickly!

I happened to run into Pam in the church parking lot as I went out to drive back to the hotel late Thursday evening, so we did have a few minutes to chat. But you weren't with her at the time.

I'm glad you had a wonderful time - I did too!

Erin,

Thank you so much. Your words meant a lot to me and were very encouraging. I'm so happy we finally had the chance to meet in person.
