The Night Geoff Livingston Partially Took Off His Shirt
You’d think that a girl who just graduated from college would easily be able to out-party a bunch of seasoned marketing pros, right? Not so, my friends, not so.
Blogger Social 08 was a huge success. I only experienced the swanky Saturday night party, but as you can see from the hundreds of pictures, compiled HERE in the Blogger Social 08 Flickr Group, everyone had a great time all weekend long.
Between meeting new people, jagerbombs, the Beast, Joseph Jaffe’s nametag becoming even more famous than he is (if you can believe that), a moving moment when crayon and My ooVoo Day presented a check to The Frozen Pea Fund, fabulousness, devil horns, peace signs, prom pictures, Geoff Livingston showing off his “Chinatown Gang” tattoo and all the moments in between, the weekend was wonderful for all who had the good fortune of attending.
It was so nice to shake hands with and hug some of the people I’ve been getting to know online. All the “preunions” were great. Steve Woodruff wrote a great post today with his takeaway thoughts from the weekend. I agree with him–events like these seem to stir and inspire us, shining light on what we as a group can do with our media, networks and technology in the future. Steve sums it up:
The best thing we can do is what we’ve been doing all along - creatively collaborate, care for those in need, welcome newcomers, share ideas, and enjoy each other’s company. The “message” of new/social/relationship-driven media will spread of its own, because we now have the tools to billboard ourselves, our ideas, our collaborations - on an open stage.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success. I was honored to be in your presence and look forward to the next time we can all socialize in person again.
