The second day of BlogWorld (for me, at least) was Thursday, October 15, 2009. After a somewhat rocky night’s sleep, and awaking to what must have been all of housekeeping outside my door chattering away at 7:00am, I headed to the strip with my mom (who accompanied me to BlogWorld as a little vacation).
We wanted to go to The Venetian. But we never made it because we turned the wrong way out of Harrah’s and ended up way down the strip in the wrong direction. We were starving, and just needed food somewhere, so we headed into Caesar’s Palace and The Forum Shops.
If you’ve ever been in The Forum Shops, you know how incredibly easy it is to get lost in there. I would even venture to say that it was more complicated to navigate their nonsense mall maps than it was to navigate a regular map in actual Rome when I was there. Regardless, we ventured past the Apple store, and had a lovely lunch at The Cheesecake Factory.
Afterwards, I ran into the Apple store to buy an adaptor for David Risley. I believe the entire time Dave was at BlogWorld, he never got the box open. Kudos to Apple for making such an unopenable box. It’s a great marketing strategy. I bet they make a special “Apple box opener” just to open it.
Later in the evening, I FINALLY met Dave. In case you don’t know, Dave has been a VA client of mine for awhile. It was really nice to meet him in person. A random David Risley fact: he’s really tall.
Then I watched, and live blogged, the Chris Brogan keynote that evening. I won’t rehash it here. You can check out the transcript from that. I will say that Chris is an extremely entertaining speaker, and he speaks uncensored truth. The guy gets it, and I always enjoy hearing what he has to say.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to go to any of the parties this night. I had a personal thing come up that I had to take care of. But I didn’t lose too much sleep over it – I will live to network another day!
