It's the most wonderful time of the year. The time of the year when I start pulling Halloween decorations out of the basement (Oh, yes. I did.). The time of the year when I cackle maniacally when I walk past the air conditioner because HA! I DON'T NEED IT! Most importantly, it's PodCamp time. Woooo!
Pittsburgh PodCamp, in case you are unaware, is a social media conference of sorts. It's for anybody who is interested in blogs, twitter, podcasts, facebook, anything social media-related. You don't have to be an expert to attend. In fact, it's almost better if you're not. Lots of smart people will be presenting on a huge variety of topics. Oh, and HOWDY! I'm a smart person! I'm presenting on Saturday, September 18th at 11:00 on how to come up with things to blog about on a semi-regular basis. You should be there. No, really. Somehow I ended up assigned to one of the big rooms and it would REALLY REALLY REAAAAALLLLY suck if it were empty.
One of the best parts of PodCamp is that it's free, so you should just run over to the site and register. Now. Go. Beat it! (Seriously. There is space still available, but not a ton of it.)
P.S. If you do go, please say, "Hi!" I'm a total dork at these sorts of things, so I need somebody to pretend they don't want to run the other way when they see me.
P.P.S. Since I've done both the BlogHer and PodCamp thing, I can now say with utmost honesty that I learned way more at PodCamp than I did at BlogHer. At the risk of getting in all sorts of trouble for having a big mouth, I'll just say that the theme of BlogHer presentations was sort of, "Hey! Look at me! I'm awesome!" while PodCamp is more, "Hey! Look at you! You can do this because you are awesome!" And now I'll shut up.
Until next Saturday.
