[View from my hotel room. Very cool.]
Arri­ved in Seattle a cou­ple of hours ago. Too insa­nely busy to write much, but here are some quic­kies:
1. I’m sta­ying at the Edge­wa­ter Hotel. Flying out Satr­day mor­ning.
2. Tomo­rrow Stormhoek CEO, Jason Kor­man and I are spea­king at the Mar­ketS­mart con­fe­rence.
3. Thanks to Robert and Mar­yam Sco­ble for put­ting on such a swell geek din­ner in SF last night. Great to meet you all.
4. Fri­day I’m in Red­mond, visi­ting with some groovy cats at Mic­ro­soft re. next steps in The Blue Mons­ter Series.
5. Fri­day night I’m up for a Seattle geek din­ner, if anyone fan­cies the same. I was hoping for somewhere geek-friendly with good beer and local chow around Pike Mar­ket? If you fancy coming along, please sign up on the wiki.

    The bow looks like a Cele­brity
    but I don’t think the Mer­cury was in port.
    Maybe a local?
    Hugh, dar­ling, please put me out of my misery
    before I go insane.

    I hope the trip is ins­pi­ring. Perhaps you can do something like the Blue Mons­ter coming down off a tall Washing­ton moun­tain (like a Yeti)and inter-mingling with peo­ple. OK, OK, I know, my ideas are cheesy. That’s why your the expert…and I am sit­ting here in my office at 10pm.
    Well, I got my new gaping­void update, now I am going home! Have a beer for me!

    Steve, yeah, I saw the stic­kers. Very cool. He only had two left and gave one to Shel Israel… appa­rently they’re gold dust ;-)

    Hugh — thanks for a great pre­sen­ta­tion at Mar­ketS­mart. It was defi­ni­tely enga­ging, and made me think about how our B2B com­pany can bet­ter engage peo­ple with our blog. Keep up the good work!
