What have I been up too? Where have you been? Any new articles coming?
These are just a few of the questions that I have been getting lately. Truth be told, I have been hanging out at the pool….. Not that pool fool…. The Meeting Pool (ouch, bad humor alert).

About once per year, my seven year old son accompanies me to a client event. He does this with the client’s enthusiastic permission as the event is pretty kid friendly (it deals with animal behavior).
This year he is finally old enough to understand and (kinda) appreciate what many of the marine mammal trainers, PhDs, animal behaviorists, and dog trainers are talking about. Since the young lad fancies himself a photographer and amateur movie maker we tasked him with taking still images of the event when we were not using the cameras. [Read more...]
A little earlier today I was part of a Google Hangout with Plan Your Meetings where we discussed proving the value of your meetings and events. Loved the conversation and all of the participants.
Hanging out were me, Kristi Casey Sanders of Plan Your Meetings, Jeff Rasco of Attendee Management, Inc, and Robert Allen of the Wedding Podcast Network.
I love Holiday Showcase. I have been a few times and I have always had a great experience. I go to see the exhibits, connect with old contacts, and find some really great destinations that make it into my client’s rotation.
The past few years have sucked for me because I have a client that holds their annual conference over the same dates. Bummer, sad face.
Smile…… the client moved their event to January this year…. Whoo hooo, I think I am going to Holiday Showcase!
Or not
Something changed my mind. Something stopped me from registering. I will not be going to Holiday Showcase this year. Sad, long face. [Read more...]
No Thanksgiving is complete with out a listen to Arlo Guthrie and Alice’s Restaurant… all 19 minutes of it. Grab a cup of coffee, sit back and relax.
Here is a snip from the Wik
“Alice’s Restaurant Massacree” is a musical monologue by singer-songwriter Arlo Guthrie released on his 1967 album Alice’s Restaurant. The song is one of Guthrie’s most prominent works, based on a true incident in his life that began on Thanksgiving Day 1965, and which inspired a 1969 movie of the same name. Apart from the chorus which begins and ends it, the “song” is in fact a spoken monologue, with a repetitive but catchy ragtime guitar backing.
Join bunches of other meeting and event professionals that found out that we are kinda nice sometimes.
