ProBlogger Darren Rowse was the star attraction at BloggerMania held in NYC at Connolly’s Pub Thursday night. Yours truly was in attendance. Free booze flowed as bloggers blabbed. I had a chance to bend Darren’s ear and learned he was in town on holiday (as the Brits say) with his wife and 8 month old son. Since he was a first time visitor to the city, I gave him some tips on sites many tourists miss, like the Museum of Sex. With an 8 month old, he might prefer The Cloisters for peace and quiet.
I also chatted with Patrick Gavin, President of Text Link Ads, who sponsored the event, and Aaron Brazell, Technology Manager of b5media. These fellas bring advertising to the blogworld. Hmm…
I also met
- Bill Dyszel, author, speaker & entertainer. Among his 17 books is Microsoft Outlook for Dummies.
- Mark Mangano of salesforcewatch.com
- David Hartman of oGaugeWatch.com (thanks for the ebay tip Dave)
- David Askaripour, Founder of Mindpetals.com (love that name)
- Tish (”Travels with Tish”) Robinson, writer of the Girlfriends’ Getaway Guide, a travel blog sponsored by Midwest Airlines
- And I won’t forget the lively, fun and talented Valeria Maltoni. Her credits include Conversation Agent and FastCompany (Company of Friends).
- But somehow I missed Elaine. Too many brewskis?
