Only one person has asked, but to reiterate, I am not attending BloggerCon. If I were to attend, I'd wake up late, skip the opening ceremonies and the Podcasting / Academia / Newbies sessions (boring / boring / interesting, but not applicable) and attend Robert Scoble's session on information overload, hang out for lunch, skip out the Election 2004 / Moble Blogging / Core Values sessions (boring / interesting, but not applicable / boring) and come back for Julie Leung's session on the emotional life of bloggers (though "Making Money" sounds cool, and Lawrence Lessig is a hero, so it's too bad there are three great sessions at once), then, if I had met a pretty young thing while skipping the after-lunch sessions, skip out the closing ceremonies. But, more than likely, attend the closing ceremonies.
Sleep schedule permitting, I will attend these sessions remotely via webcast and IRC.
I'm not really big on conferences. I went to a Python conference during the summer here and Vancouver and ended up skipping most of it, leaving one session to cover the 2004 Pride Parade which was terribly exciting, it being my first, then came back only to fall asleep during a session on Plone. (Though can you blame me?) I'm excited about the Canadian blogging conference here in Vancouver, though, mostly because I don't have to travel. I'm all for travelling, but not to attend what is basically a discussion group about something I do much—though not most—of my waking hours with a large group of people I've probably read about but would have to re-learn all over again what they're like. Not travelling and doing that is good enough for me.
