Another incredible week at Lotusphere is over...
Category Lotusphere2009
Lotusphere is always such a swirl of activity and information, and placing things in context is something that takes me a couple of weeks. But the memory snapshots are vivid and many, and will enter the Lotusphere memory album along with the other 11 years worth...
Lotusphere is always such a swirl of activity and information, and placing things in context is something that takes me a couple of weeks. But the memory snapshots are vivid and many, and will enter the Lotusphere memory album along with the other 11 years worth...
- Sitting next to Carl "Blueman" Tyler on stage at Gurupalooza.
- Being "touched" by the Blueman himself.
- Watching people look at my head and laugh on my way back to clean it off.
- As usual, not being able to get from check-in to the elevator on Saturday without meeting friends in the Rotunda at the Dolphin.
- Having time to share, laugh, and cry one-on-one with friends at a level I don't often experience.
- Learning that Remy Sidecars are quite tasty... even in volume.
- I still snore....
- I have GOT to lose weight before next year's Lotusphere.
- I don't know why everyone's camera who took pictures of the back of my head had a flaw that made me look like I have a bald spot.
- Being part of the Lotusphere Blogger's program this year.
- Being able to watch the Opening General Session at the front in my own reserved yellow beanbag chair.
- Watching the *real* Blueman Group perform at OGS.
- Walking back from the Boardwalk, passing four guys going to the Boardwalk, hearing them say the name "Duffbert" and laugh, and not having ANY context as to why they were laughing (and they didn't know that it was me walking by)...
- Actually drawing about 125 - 150 people to our session during that killer 1 pm Monday timeslot.
- Having our "competition" come running into our session from the next room over just for the laughs.
- Staying out of the camera's eye most of the week.
- Knowing the photo I'll be known best for is the one with me and Carl on stage at Gurupalooza, and me with a blue handprint on my head.
- Twittering at 4:15 am on Friday that I only have 45 more minutes before I need to catch the Mears shuttle to go home.
- Having Turtle twitter back that a group was still down in the Rotunda... :)
- Sitting down at the Closing General Session, seeing a grand piano on stage, and thinking that the organizers really blew it this time.
- Spending the next 1.5 hours seeing the most incredible CGS with Ben Zander.
- Getting the two Spiral/Possibility flipchart pages after the session was over (thanks, Sandra!)
- Once again being on stage for the annual
bloggers photo after the CGS,
and knowing these people mean so much to me.
