Quick Update on Affiliate Summit West (ASW)
I just wanted to post a quick update since I haven’t been able to blog at all since getting to Vegas. I had a really rough weekend (family-type problems) that resulted in a missed flight after a night with just a few hours of terrible sleep. I made it to my hotel at about 5:30, much later than I’d anticipated and couldn’t keep my eyes open. I fell asleep at about 6:30 PM and because it was so early I didn’t set my alarm–little did I know I’d wake up at 10:30 AM today, missing the keynote. It’s okay thought, I have to earn my Loser title somehow 
And as you can imagine after all that sleep I’m feeling a lot better today and excited for the sessions, parties, etc. I’m also ready to blog with some more event coverage ASAP (and as frequently as I have something to report / say).
The first session I went to was called Marketing Your Affiliate Site - Outside of the Box by Scott Hazard. I really enjoyed this presentation, particularly because Scott was such a likeable, friendly person. You could also tell this guy was ‘in the trenches’ so to speak and working on his own stuff. I find time and again that the presenters I like best are the ones that don’t have ‘jobs.’
Okay, I wish I could write more but I really do not want to miss anything from the Shoemoney / Jon (of WickedFire.com) presentation–this is the session I came to Vegas for Hopefully there are good questions and I’m sure there will be some great answers. Maybe I’ll even ask one, if something inspires me. Nothin’ planned though.
Overall though, and despite being a little off because of some family problems, I’m having an awesome time here at the Affiliate Summit and so far the people have all been really, really friendly. The vibe here is very unique and so far I love it. Okay, time for Shoe/Jon’s session!
Yo dude I almost called you out when I saw you sit down and introduce you to everyone =P but i was not sure it was you.
Heh, I wonder if that was me. At your session I don’t think I talked to a lot of people, but at Kris’ some guys asked me. It was really fun to see the reactions. Of the people who knew the blog, about half reacted with “Dude that’s awesome!” and the other half said things like “Ohhhh… I hope I’m not featured on your blog,” haha. I did mean to come up to you and say hi and ask for a shirt but I only saw you once in the expo hall and you were in a conversation already. Next time
Actually out of all the people I mentioned in my posts, the only one I’m scared to bump into is Rae :), because she’s the only one I feel guilty about. I don’t know her at all and she’s the only one I actually meant to criticize in the original post (although it seems some others took offense as well). People were also confused by the picture up there on this blog–that’s not me, I just found it on i Stock Photo and thought it was funny.
ya dude I know what you look like from your picture with the Azoogle girls wearing shoemoney shirts at pubcon. I was about 90% that it was you.
