There was a conference last week called webstock. This is the second time I have been unable to go. 
Money is the deciding factor… but my work paid for some of the longer term people to go (fair enough I reckon) They kindly handed out the free stuff to us when they got back. Now this sounds like they might be giving us the booby prize, I think not. Teashirt…. niiice, bag… NICE!! Woo hoo! It made my day, so sad, so “consumer” but such a nice bag. Its also much lovelier when its a gift.
Still writhing with jealousy at my workmate getting to see some of the ultimate web super stars in person… he even got his shirt un-buttoned by one of them…
Would it make you feel any better if I told you I DIDN’T have incredible conversations with Jason Santa Maria, Liz Danzico AND Kathy Sierra…?
Actually now I feel terrible about my previous comment. I hope this photo and me and Kathy Sierra makes up for it:

Oh! This just became a little too coincidental (and possibly awkward).
I work for Cabbage Tree Creative Ltd – a design company in Christchurch.
I had a brief chat with I think Matt (?) from LeftClick while at Webstock.
In fact, I still have his business card in my wallet…
I know where you work, I know all. Be grateful I have something that resembles a sense of humor… or in my jealous rage I might.. leave mean comments on your blog, oooo.
You wouldn’t dare! Oh, did I mention that I also had a chat with Dan Cederholm…? Just saying.
Did I also mention I know where you live? ( I say so convincingly) I also know that you pimped yourself out to the speakers, THATS why you “spoke” to so many of them. Must of been quite profitable.
Don’t hate me because I have a beautiful body and perfect bone structure.
