Thanks for inviting me Darren! I had a great time and glad you used the video footage I took….the Shuffle, T-shirt and Starbucks card plus the free drinks and food were the least of it.

Hey Darren, thanks again – I had so much fun with you in NYC! Meeting Chad and Shai was a bonus too – and of course, doing shots with Aaron as my “getting outta town” hurrah was just quite cool. LOL

I’ve finally finished resizing photos and writing up a brief recap: http://www.anubismarketing.com/company-news/fooa-2007-problogger-meetup-nyc/

It’s nice to see that everyone had such a great time – If blogging ever fails me I might just become a party planner! HAHA

P.S. –
@Darren: You are NOT getting my head shaved! :-p See if you can work on Darcie & CJ. ;-)

@Valeria: Had a great time meeting you too. Hopefully, I can get to chat with you more again soon. Thanks!

It was definitely great meeting some of the Problogger readers (and of course, my fellow b5ers) in NYC. I’m in Toronto right now, and slowly trying to get in touch with some folks who said hello that night. It was good fun. Thanks!

Oh, and, if you managed to snag some b5 schwag that night, please feel free to either send me a photo (or a link to your blog post with your photo in b5 gear). I’d love to link up to you and share the love.

Darren,

Was on the way when my friend’s car battery died :( Oh, well… It was great hearing you speak at FOOA (through a flu, no less!).

So, my friend with the newly-replaced battery–Amanda, whom I took to your last NYC event, only days after launching her blog about the random/hilarious things New Yorkers say when you’re wearing an over-sized Barack Obama button–has been blogging strong ever since. (We were bummed about missing the party, but she’s happy to have my notes from your speech. “Dating tips for bloggers and advertisers.” Love it!)

Funny, because while you were speaking, I was IMing her: “Hurry up and open an email account, so you can link it on the About page. Nobody can contact you!” The next day, she ended up in the NYTimes, so it’s amazing how even this basic advice is huge. What if someone who read the piece couldn’t get in touch? Another tragic situation avoided…

I had a great time at the event, everyone was great. The free drinks were awesome. I’m glad everyone else enjoyed it and I can’t wait until there’s another one.

I hope you feel better, Darren. It was really nice to meet Shai, and see Aaron and Lara again.

Jason – yes, and we’re working on making it a requirement for women too….

So, is it a requirement for all the guys at b5 to shave their head?
