Conference Notes

Friday, August 31st, 2007

First day of the conference went well. I attended several receptions last night and met some great people. I ran into a pair of guys from Las Vegas whom I only knew professionally for a short time, but had a great time talking about the differences between Vegas and San Francisco and the upcoming Folsom Street Fair.

I also met a lot of people with whom I’ve had phone conversations over the years, but had never met in person.

I bragged about having the best view/room in the hotel all night and got many offers of company for checking out the late-night view (all talk, no action).

Had an interesting conversation with a somewhat inebriated and embattled (it seemed to me) Boi From Troy about Senator Craig, ENDA, and other Republicans hiding a gay secret (like a certain Republican Governor who has yet to officially declare his intent to run for President). It’s amazing how much we see eye-to-eye on certain issues, despite hom being a rather famous gay Republican blogger and my San-Francisco-Values-Liberalism.

Today will be fairly busy with workshops and other events that involve less alcohol. I didn’t get out of the hotel last night, but tonight I’m planning to travel to Hillcrest with a group of guys I met last night.
