In a funny twist of fate, I thought I wasn't going to PAB and now I am. One Chris off the agenda, another one on.

Thanks Chris -

Seems whenever my business is doing well I don’t have the time to attend any events. When it is not busy I don’t have the money. Any good carpetbagger books out there? Maybe a new post for you?

cheers
Mike

To answer Mike McAllen, I can afford to attend so many conferences because I'm employed by a media company that runs events. My travel often contains a hint of community development, even if it's not directly for my events. PAB, for instance, is an act of love. SuperNova is a mix of love and good business. : )

Does that help?

There are ways to go to lots of events for free and cheap. Believe me, lots of my friends are conference carpetbaggers.

Hey Chris,

I was quite saddened when Bob & Mark threw the update up about you not attending PAB.

I was going to be all mad at you for not coming to the event in my hometown. ... Until I realized I haven't yet been to Boston.

Race?

Thanks for the PAB-Plug Chris - It's too bad you can't be there.. It's going to be a fabulous event. But I understand, there's only so much Brogan to go around..

Put PAB2008 on your agenda now ;)

How do you afford to attend so many conferences?

A shame you can't make PAB, Chris. I hear you were going to deliver a killer presentation with a pretty cool colleague.

Ahh, well. I'm sure he'll manage :)
