Great holiday weekend. I was able to restrain myself from opening my laptop and working - although I cheated and checked twitter nonstop (and a few emails) via my PDA. I'm officially addicted to twitter, which is an embarrassment because I personally trashed the service a few months ago on this very blog. I'm actually thinking about stopping my dodgeball, which isn't that big of a deal since I still subscribe to my NYC version and basically use it now to track my friends in NYC and reminisce about my former life. I wasn't able to get anyone in Philly hooked on Dodgeball - still haven't quite figured out why. This town certainly has the nightlife and the bar crowd.

Before I fled town on Thursday night for the shore, I popped into Junto , a local web/tech networking group, and spoke with the group about BlogPhiladelphia. It was a great opportunity to meet all the cool people whose blogs and twitters I read and respond to daily and to explain the "unconference." Some people were misled by the title "BlogPhiladelphia" and thought it was just a blogging event - I'll be sure to correct that on the site when I start blogging on the home page this week. We'll be covering all aspects of social media - new platforms, mobile applications, virtual communities and more. Definitely not just blogging.

I also met a lot of small business owners in the tech sector, like the guys at P'unk Ave who have the raddest office space in town that I've seen. Talk about being right in the middle of the action! In fact, now that I think of it, I think I'm going to ask Geoff if he'll host a mini-soiree there during the unconference. It's just too great of a spot! Nothing like blogging something first to pressure someone into agreement....muuuuwwwwwahahahaha;)

That's it for now. Back to work tomorrow.
