TWTRCon & Your Mom - San Francisco '09

Right now, I am at TWTRCON. I am blogging... Go Figure. But I am also Tweeting.... A lot. There are sooo many fantastic speakers who I have written about and been a huge fan Girl of for years. Brian Solis being one of my favorites.

The most surprising was the Web 2.0 smarts of MC Hammer. He is such a smart guy. Definitely a pioneer for having been in the business and on the web for almost a decade.

I am taking a lot of Twit Pics that you can check out of the conference but also of San Francisco. This is still one of my most favorite cities in the world.

Thanks to the guys @ AMOG, this trip wasn't as lonely as I thought it would be. They took me out to dinner last night in Japan Town and the sushi was actually pretty amazing.

The one thing I find very interesting about the conference is that everyone here is ALL about Twitter. Every brand on Twitter is here, we all have the SHORTEST attention spans known to man. Our jobs are to have short attention spans.... so why is the conference from 7AM - 5AM with only 4 short breaks. My ADD is kicking in #HardCore!!

Really anxious to get on a red eye on @VirginAmerica (my new favorite airline ever) and suffer through Monday at work. Why did I do that to myself !! However, this day has been very beneficial. Meeting the people who run ground breaking Twitter Accounts has gotten me very excited to get back to work and try out some new things.

CM Summit 2008 San Francisco

Slowly but surely, San Francisco is becoming my favorite city in this country. Every time I visit, I feel like I am going to a wonderful place where people speak my language and the air is clear. Sounds silly, but it's true. This past week a few of my coworkers and I traveled west for a client meeting, and got a special treat from the people at Federated Media. They sponsored a trip to the CMSummit @ The Golden Gate Club. This was an awesome experience and a wonderful summit.

To top it off with sprinkles, we were put in the Mandarin Oriental. We had top floor rooms with jacuzzi tubs, and wine, and tea, and plush beds with views of the bay. It was really something else. I had such a wonderful time.

While I am still in the process of editing my videos and my notes from the conference, I wanted to drop a short note on my blog since I have been too busy to really update it lately.

Travels & Destinations

Have you ever planned something, like a vacation, event, or a party, and just didn't think about it until the day before?

About a month ago, my friend Liz and I planned a trip to San Francisco. We have a few friends out there, including Lawrence and Petey. Even though I have been there before, it was only for a few hours during my trip to San Jose a few years ago.

Being so busy at work, and getting really into my new diet, I have almost forgotten to be excited about my trip to California. I have only been to San Jose before and that trip only lasted 3 days. This will be really exciting because we are renting a car and going on adventures. I am really excited to get away with Liz because we haven't really been able to hang out a lot.

I decided to check out The Yoga Tree because I hear it is a really great San Franciscan yoga company.


Liz also came up with the great idea to rent bikes and ride over the Golden Gate Bridge. I am really excited about that because it seems like one of those "once in lifetime" experience. I definitely feel that I am in the right shape to totally enjoy the ride.

I feel very excited and I can't wait to get on the plane tomorrow!!
