The Evo Conference started today but first, I needed to get from Boston to Park City Utah. The journey was a pretty quick and easy one if you can call about 8 hours of solid travel quick. I booked my travel with left over American Airlines Miles and got First class for the trip, so that helped. then I had a travel buddy when I arrived. I drove with Kelly Whalen (@justcentsible) from the airport to the hotel. Along the way we stopped at the Apple Store in Salt Lake City to see about standing in line (2-3 hour long line, um no.) However when I was in Line I met Andrew Lock (@AndrewLock) of Help My Business Sucks. I saw him and went up to say hello. I think I was so excited because I recognized him that I forgot to introduce myself. He posed for a photo with me and Evabear though. Kelly and I also to an Arctic Circle for Fry Sauce. It was okay, not great, I think I make a better one overall but that is my own palate. But I can say I did itl
When we got to The Canyons I dropped Kelly at her hotel and then went to mine. I’m staying at a hotel a little down the hill from the Grand Summit hotel. I’m at the Silverado at a Murphy Bed Room. I have to take pictures of this place, it is really very cool. However there are no drawers to put away my clothes. So I put my clothes in the dryer. I unpacked, relaxed and then headed up the hill to register and get ready for the speaker meeting. I met so many people throughout the night and while I could list everyone here I just can’t so instead I am going to have people pose with Evabear and then post them to Flickr, Picasa and Facebook. So if you met me yesterday and got a photo look for them there and please tag yourself in the photos. |

I had a great dinner with a really nice group of people, we had an amazing opening keynote with some fantastic speakers too. There was not a dry eye in the house at the end of it either. And you could have heard a pin drop. The courage of the keynote speakers was electric.
After the opening kickoff party I hung out in the hotel lounge with Some really nice folks. They all had their photos taken with EvaBear too.
