Okay, not really, but life has been fun lately. Last week I was in NYC for a conference on creating content for social media. I not only got to stay in the city for three days, but I also got to participate in the NASDAQ closing bell ceremony for a second time. Can you pick me out of this photo?
The highlights were meeting and having a conversation with David Pogue at a networking event. I also was able to go to Mesa (a Bobby Flay restaurant) and enjoy an incredible meal. All I have to say is Shrimp and Garlic Tamale. If you get the chance, you won’t regret it. I also witnessed first hand the trainwreck that is Charlie Sheen’s tour of stupidity. My hotel was across the street from Radio City Music Hall, and all of the yahoos who wanted to catch a glimpse of him after the show were camped out in the street. I walked down to the drug store and stopped to watch people coming out of the show being interviewed on the local news …. surprisingly they felt they had wasted their $500/ticket. Duh. $20 would have been a waste. So it was a great trip, except for all of the mommy guilt, which I tried to sqaush with gifts from the Hello Kitty store and Toys R Us.
And today, I am headed for New Orleans for Mom 2.0!
Three days in New Orleans, hanging out and getting inspired with 450 fellow bloggers. How fun is that? I will also be live blogging for Mom 2.0, so look for my posts on their website here.
Have a great weekend in NOLA… maybe you can hang out on Bourbon Street this time!! HA!!
I will be on a bicycle from Houston to Austin this weekend. Your trip sounds way better!
Oh wow, I just missed you in NYC by a week. Hope your next trip is fun too!
Have a Hurricane from Pat O’s for me…I can’t drink them anymore…bad experience last time I was in NOLA.
I remember a trip to NO with you a long time a go in a glaxay far far away. I seem to remember ditching the DB. My question is? Why did you bring him back???????
To a drama free and exciting time in the Big Easy for you!
Have a great time in NOLA, and take some notes for me!
I’d be insanely jealous save for the fact I’m so happy you get to go… have a blast. (I will, however, be a little pissed if you can get into Stella.)
Wow, Charlie Sheen, NASDQ, Mom2.0….I’m not sure which to be more jealous of. 😉
Seriously, I really enjoyed following the Ragan conference via your Tweets.
Can I ask what the key takeaway points of the social media conference were? I’ve been attending webinars on the topic, curious about any good tips.
I bet the Spiderman:Turn off the Dark company were so happy that a bigger, hotter mess was in town.
Haha! Love the spiderman comment!
How is it you are always everywhere doing everything?? So jealous.
NOLA was amazing — I’ll post all about it as soon as I figure out how to get the photos off my stupid Blackberry.
Erin – send me an email and I’ll give you the deets from the conference.
AAB – you are funny. 😉
