I got all of my ducks in a row yesterday and got my plane ticket, hotel room, and registered for SOBCon 07!
I’m a-goin’ and I’m gonna love it! My plane arrives barely in time for the grand opening on Friday night, but I’m only doing a carry-on, so it will just be a matter of notifying the hotel of my flight for the shuttle. I leave at 7:00 the next day, giving me enough time to get back to the airport and through security to be home a mere 30 hours after I left the day before.
I have several parties to thank, though I did not give permission to use names, so here are some generalities:
- For sponsoring my admission costs, I thank one of Liz’s readers who is unable to attend.
- For sponsoring my plane ticket, I had 7 contributions that came out to $5.30 more than what I needed. Nothing wasted at all, as I’m sure 2 Cokes at the airportย will take care of that. Thank you.
- For sponsoring my hotel bill, I thank one of the speakers who has bestowed some tasks upon me in preparation. What I most love about that deal is, despite needing to complete work, I am taking what I was asked to do as an honor and a privilege.
I know this blog isn’t about blogging or writing, but those skills play a major role in the content that you read every day, and I hope that when I return your experiences will all reap massive benefits from what I learn and experience in Chicago.
Thats awesome that everything worked out so that you can attend this conference. Take plenty of notes cause I want a 90 page single spaced report on my desk the following monday. J/K No but seriously enjoy it and I hope it is everything you are wanting it to be.
Thanks, man. Hey, did you level any more? I only got up to about 80% this morning because I was up ’till 10:30 fixing that stupid laptop. I had to remember the Admin password from when I set up the company’s server almost 4 years ago in order to log in. It’s a big “who am I logged in as, under which domain/workgroup?” now. It’s a mess, but it is MY mess. ๐
Yeah I took Atranon to 25 yesterday while I was supposed to be sleeping and also my warrior to 56. I will play a little today but my weekend is shot since I will be heading for a non planned trip to California for my Father-in-Laws 50th birthday. hopefully i can do enough to get near to 26.
That’s great news Jesse! I’m glad you’re able to be there. I’m looking forward to meeting you.
Thanks, Tony. I’ll see you there, and I’ll try to erase the image of WoWers that South Park made, ๐ although when I saw it on YouTube, I almost laughed myself out of my chair and made quite a commotion.

Thank you. Looking forward to it very much.
