This Is Why I Only Went To Five PDC Sessions

The tagline for PDC was “Make The Connection”. For me, that was very true. I got to meet so many cool people there, and had lunch with people like Lili Cheng, Robert Scoble, Chris Brumme, and Erin Joyce, among many others. Had I spent my time making sure I went to every session I wanted to go to, I would have missed out on a lot of those opportunities. This is exactly why I didn't kill myself to get to the sessions... now I can sit at home, in my spare time, really sit down and take it all in and understand it.

If anyone was upset about not getting to go to PDC, you really shouldn't be too upset now. Everything that we saw, you can see here. The only thing missing that I can see was the killer 50 minute demo session on Whitehorse (which is probably why it's not in there). It was by far the best session I attended (2 slides. demos out the yang.... very cool).

Right on, mister.

This was my first PDC, and I went with the intention of attending every single session, even if those silly "laws of physics" said that it was impossible.

By the second day, however, I realized that just hitting the sessions that you *really* wanted to go to, and then spending the rest of the time getting shnockered with the cool people you met, was the best way to spend the time, and I think it was worth every penny.

Especially getting to watch BenjaminM do his stellar "Marc Canter at the Blogger BOF" impression in the bar at the Wilshire - That validated the entire trip for me.

Yup. Good stuff...

:-D Yeah that was great.

By the way, it was great to meet ya. It was very interesting to hear your theories on the connection between the moon landing and the porn industry.

PDC sessions hosted on Apache/UX. Hilarity ensues.
