If You're Going To DEMO, Say Hi To Me!
Friday, September 5, 2008 at 05:12PM
I just got adjusted to East Coast time but now I'm being shipped back to the West Coast this weekend to cover DEMO. Don't give me any grief for not attending TechCrunch50! I just go where I'm told. The lovely Kara Tsuboi will be covering TechCrunch50 for CNET TV.
The last time I covered DEMO, it was in 2006 and I was a staff writer for PC Magazine. I was duped by the fake Bono, which marked my first ever Valleywag appearance. I spent the rest of the conference looking for battery power for my Lenovo (I was a PC user back then), and hiding out in my hotel room ordering room service. Come to think of it, that time zone adjustment was worse because I had just returned from a vacation in Italy the day before. This time should be easier. Plus, I intend to make friends! I have been told by the powers that be here at CNET that I must attend the mixers. No room service for me!
You can find my coverage of the event on CNET TV starting on Monday but if you're going to DEMO in person, be sure to say hello to me. I'm trying to be social, remember?

hope you'll have a great time at Demo. enjoy the nice weather in SD :-)
don't forget to show us the fun scene in flickr!
Sigh, I never get to go to the cool parties. Have fun!
Funny. I can't imagine you as being non-sociable. The same way I can't picture a lot of actors who do talk shows who act shy are actually shy! Yes, mingle. Have fun. I wish I could go to parties on the corporate dime! ;-)
Been missing from following the BLOG for awhile -- thought you went AWOL from it after your posting about the Eye.
