Heading to Vegas for PubCon!

October 28th, 2007

My girlfriend & I went to dinner w/ Jim Olenbush & his wife last night.  We had a great time, and during the course of dinner, Jim let me know he’s going to PubCon, and that I ought to come along.  So…I booked my room today, and even persuaded my web designer friend, Wes Cox, to come along.  This will be my first SEO/SEM convention, and I think it will be really cool.  I’m particularly excited about the interactive site reviews they’re offering.  I’m going to spend the next month revising the sites I want reviewed (eb.com, osmetro.com, tantans.com, banyanliving.com) and will be anxious to get feedback.

The only downside is that it’s in Vegas – I f’ing hate Vegas.  I’ve been for business & for pleasure on a few diff’t occasions each, and I never have a good time.  DING DING DING DING.  That’s all you hear from the minute you get off the plane until you leave.  So…I’m going to spend the next few weeks trying to coordinate some activities that I will actually enjoy – I don’t particularly like to gamble, don’t like to lay out by the pool, and don’t like to shop…I do like the shows, but I’m not crazy about $200/ticket…we’ll see what I can come up with!

    Yeah I am not to excited about Vegas. I hope I find something to do while I am there. I really dont like casino gambling too much. $200 ticket? Was that for conference or the plane? When I finally got around to getting tickets they were up to $900. If they were originally $200 I am going to feel more foolish than I already do about putting it off for so long.

    I was referring to the shows – Cirque du Soleil, The Green Man, etc… I’ll probably end up getting a ticket to one or two b/c they are badass…they’re just so expensive! Where are you staying?

    I havn’t looked for a place to stay yet. I am going to try and find a place close to the con. I have heard Cirque du Soleil is cool. I havn’t heard of Green Man. Is it related to Burning Man?
