[Feb 20, 2011] New York City [Content Boot Camp] (New York, NY)

Just some random thoughts for this coming weekend's meeting. I think some things we need to consider are:

Post here unless you have a blog
Keep it friendly and clean
Do not kill deals by calling airline/hotel (Never call the airline)
Do not take without giving
Share ideas and items of interest
Dont judge,encourage participation
Share successes
Affirm that you got something out of someone's post by 'liking'
Go the extra 'mile'

Will see you in NYC Sat afternoon and all day Sunday!

I'm going to try and stop by early enough to drop off FT Junior so Randy can take him travelling. http://milepoint.com/forums/threads...s-the-traveller-also-known-as-ft-junior.2985/

Calcifer was happy to note the proximity of the Andaz to Lord and Taylor.

I just saw this and my schedule does not free up until late Saturday. Would it be bad form just to come to the dinner? I would like to meet everyone.

Cool! Will be fun to see Freddie, Jr. again (haven't seen him since SMD1!)

FH, looking forward to seeing you and Rachel.

Good morning, we have 10 folks here, we're starting to review things in anticipation of Ed's arrival

Hello, Sunday NYC'ers. I'm going to be covering the 1st hour of the morning session, from 9AM to 10AM. There'll be a bit of breakfast available starting at 8:30AM. If like today, we'll be on the 2nd floor, and there'll be people to direct you to the room.

The entrance to the hotel is on 41st Street, off 5th towards Madison. Rather nondescript entrance, so fair warning.

Breakfast items will include an assortment of croissants, muffins, pastries, bagels, butter, cream cheese, bowls of blueberries and blackberries, plain yogurt, honey, jams, orange juice, coffee, tea, water.

Some of the folks who were there today will be back, and looking forward to our Sunday additions.

See you there.

... to eat.

The hotel put out a much nicer spread than expected for breakfast and lunch.

CYA!

We'll be leaving shortly; see everyone around lunchtime!

FH, sorry I didn't get a chance to see you yesterday.

Glad to see Freddie, Jr!

Where is Freddie JR?

Freddie JR has arrived here at the Andaz...

I just showed up to find sbm12, rolov and fozz... Everyone else left... I had a fun n ight last night...

ha... that's pretty funny... I got there at 8:20am and saw everyone come and leave except for you... touche!

Yes we finished up just before 2PM, and I just arrived home about 5 minutes ago.

Thanks everyone for joining the group for the last 2 days in NY and for putting up with my facilitating.....
I am going to take a quick snooze before I start organizing all the notes...

Great meeting and seeing all of you, and THANKS for all the great ideas and comments!!

Poppy, did they leave you any Coke?

I was confused -- I now realize that it was 'FT, Jr' (cousin to 'Freddie, Jr') who made it's appearance @ the boot camp today!

Sorry to stop by so quickly; we would have liked to have stayed for lunch and chatted, but when there's a sale at Lord and Taylor and you have a 20% coupon, you have to make difficult choices. Plus, I needed a decent winter coat.

Who ended up taking FT Junior home with them?

The Wandering Aramean, aka SBM12

Could somebody who was able to be at the NYC content bootcamp please post a summary of the discussion? Thanks.

Thanks to Art and Joe for being great hosts! I enjoyed meeting all who were at the meeting. My journey back to BUF took an extra 1.5 hrs because of a jacknifed truck on I 80 @ Tannersville PA!

We should have simulcasted or shared main points online throughout the discussion to get peoples input that could not attend.

Had been wondering why you weren't there all morning, or for lunch. We'd talked it all out, and a number of new folks made it to the Sunday session. Sorry to have missed you.
