i’m at startcon08 today

Posted by Ashley on August 7, 2008

Today a whole bunch of us are at the start conference, hosted by Jeff Veen and Bryan Mason. Mandi and Mike are here from San Antonio, plus J, A, S, B, D, B, D, J, C. (I don’t know who’s here stealthily or publicly.)

So far: Mena Trott (Six Apart) was great, so was Merlin Mann (43folders & 5ives). Got to see the founders of Ritual Roasters and Rare Device. Matt Haughey (a whole lotta nothing) is on stage right now. I love him too. Glad to get the chance to see him in person. He’s got something new out called FUELLY. Not running yet, but looks like it’s pretty cool.

Lessons Learned:

Never EVER wear new, bright red, patent leather shoes to a conference. No matter how amazingly snazzy they are. Not only will they rub wicked blisters into your feet before you even get there, you also won’t be sure if you’re actually bleeding to death through your feet or just stained.
ALWAYS take flip-flops in your purse if you’re dumb enough to ignore tip #1.
