I'm packed up and about to vacate the Hampton Inn for the pleasant confines of home. I've got to get back to my dog and take him to the Bark Park, and there is a game 7 in the ALCS and all the normal things I would do in your average weekend. This time driving in I figured out where I made the wrong...

Late afternoon, and it was back to downtown Greensboro from the hotel in the suburbs. Through some freak of parking karma, I got the parking spot right in front of the film festival venue. I would later betray myself as unworthy of this. Our hosted dinner was right across the street, so it really...

I changed my tagline/subtitle based on a spontaneous remark I made at the bar last night. The motto of this blog is now "Defy the Zeitgeist". I think we are also going to print up t-shirts for...

Lunch was good. I sat outside with Bora Zivkovic and Ed Cone and Dan Conover and we talked more about blogging (of course) and hands on portion of these conferences vs. talkety talkety talk. I made a point of introduction myself to Soni Pitts by telling her "I like the cut of your jib."...

Running late. In at 1 AM + phone call from work at 5 AM = sleepy boy not getting up on schedule. Still trying to make the conference before the breakfast is over. Shower like the wind, Forest! I did take the nap and then headed out to the BBQ at the Hoggard's house in the Aycock neighborhood. I was...

Lunch was fun. I chatted with Ben Hwang for a long time, and saw my friend from Virginia Robert Harvey. I sat with Don Moore and talked for a while. Don is the guy who made the t-shirt order that pushed me over the edge of needing to reprint. After lunch, I wanted to go to the Affiliate Marketing...

I'm here. I meant to get up at 4 AM and on the road by 5:30 AM but I slept until 4:50 and didn't leave until about 6 AM. Still, I managed to get to the NC A&T campus, parked, registered and in the Jason Calacanis talk by 9:30. Had I got up on schedule, I'd have had it just right. Calacanis is...
