Return from PubCon 2007 
As many of you already know my company sent me and some other folks to the WebmasterWorld Conference in Las Vegas this year.  It was a good time and the sessions were good even it not for a ton of new useful information but to confirm some of my current strategies.  I did pick up a couple little things that I brought back with me to test and I am in process of determining if I think they are viable ideas or not.
I stayed at the New York New York hotel which was very nice. It was on the other end of the strip so it took me a while to get to the convention center but that was not that big of a deal.  I am not really a big gambler but it was fun to watch everyone I was with gamble and have a good time.  One of the people I was with won a couple hundred dollars which was cool to see. I did try some of the slots and electronic blackjack though which was fun. I think I lost a total of $20 over the week so as you can tell I don’t really gamble.
I am pretty sure that I got pick pocketed while out there but nobody believes me because they must have put my wallet back in my pocket after taking my cash. I lost $40 that way.
The last session of the conference which was PubCon was where everyone met in a pub for drinks and fingerfood. It was a great time, probably my favorite session but I ate some of the shrimp rolls which made me violently ill on the plane ride home. Totally not worth it.   I was sick for about 4 days and still scared to eat anything seafood related.   My advice.. Don’t eat the shrimp in Vegas.  I would curious to know if anyone else got really sick as well.
Now I am playing catchup at work and mostly caught up now thank God. The year is close to over and 2008 is looking like it is going to be a busy one. I have been very bad about updating this blog but hope to be a little more consistent in the future.  Well that’s about it for now. If you have any questions, let me know.
Thanks,
Brad Henry
