A couple of days ago I received an email from a lad in Boston asking about the gathering next Thursday, and whether or not there was room ‘to squeeze him in‘.

Thinking back to past events, I know there is always a handful of folks who sign up, but end up not attending. Nothing you can do about it really, it is simply the nature of a free event. So I told him the law of averages is on his side, and to plan on joining us. At which time he said ‘thank you’ as he was giving up Death Cab for Cutie tickets to come, so he was happy there was room. Now that is big. That shows a level of commitment to deeper learning. Wow. I won’t name names, I will simply say ‘thank you’ right back to him for wanting to share his night with us, in lieu of the band. Oh, but if those tickets are still available…no,no. Just kidding. I would much rather be in a hotel room discussing New Media than to be hanging out with Ben and the boys. Really.

So, I now find us with 94 people registered. How we got another 11 after closing down registrations I don’t know. Oh wait - I do know…I have a hard time saying no. But we really need to cap it. I am sorry, but if we don’t, I am going to be on the fire marshall’s naughty list.

I promise your Boston organizers will host another event quickly. We just need a venue (speaking of, can someone out there help with that?). If so, shoot an email to kristie@brainjams.org. And remember there is always Friday, November 3rd as Chris and several others in town hit a pub or two in support of ‘Blogs and Beers‘. So if you can’t make it Thursday night, come play with us on Friday.
