REBarcamp A HUGE Success

Good morning! I'm blogging to you from a $12.95 per day hotel Internet connection in the most wired City in the World, but I digress.. REBarcamp was everything I hoped it would be and more. The sessions were great, the turnout was better. I think we had at least 120 people, maybe more. Brad Coy, Andy Kaufman, Todd Carpenter and all of the other volunteers and organizers worked hard to make it happen. There are some great stories to tell, but I need to grab a cab to Inman Connect, more to report later. Daniel Rothamel of The Real Estate Zebra along with Grant and Gia of RealSeekr came up with a very creative surprise. Blogger Trading Cards, with super heros. I am now forever to be known as PodcastMan. My Power? Sending videos to every corner of the web. Oh yeah!
