Webmasterworld Pubcon 2007 las vegas recap

Quick recap.

Monday

Flew in… took it easy. Played some stupid texas holdem table game… lost like $400 in an hour.. then went over to the poker room at the Wynn and won that back (1/3 NL) plus a little more. I went to bed pretty early like 1ish

Tuesday

Went over to the expo… talked to people for a while then walked across to the Renaissance hotel (best calamari in the world). 2 orders of calimari and about 8 skinny pirates later went back to the hotel to get ready for the Rubicon get together at Pure.

Tuesday night went to Pure at Caesars Palace. We got a private table and 5 bottles….. was a great time. Thanks for hosting Rubicon!

Here is some pics from that event:

Wednesday

I slept until about 11 or so. I was really dragging ass. Got up early got some coffee and headed over to the expo. The expo hall itself I thought was really small. Maybe I missed where some booths are but I counted about 10 total booths? I got in and of course headed to the BOTW booth. Seriously anyone who ever wants to get a booth at a conference just get one next to the BOTW guys. There booth is always packed with connected industry people. So I got there and Rob from BOTW made mention that my face was all over the conference… I had no clue what he was talking about then I he took me over to the PPP booth and showed me this:

Pretty cool! coming off the awesome success of our contest for Pubcon Ted from pay per post wanted to do something similar for SXSW. I was on board and said lets go for it. I was still really surprised to see he got something up so quick . So go get signed up for the shoeperstar contest now (more on this soon). Hung out and met people, took pictures, did interviews, and just hanged for a while then headed back to the hotel to get ready for night life.

Wednesday night – The general plan was to hang out at the Rubicon suite until about midnight or so and then get a table and play some holdem. We never made it out of the suite…..

Thursday

I woke up really early… like 8am and started going through email. I went back to sleep and slept until about 4pm or so. Tonight was a big night (i didn’t know how big) and I did not want to crap out early.

BOTW had their drawing and gave away their big check (more details coming)

Grabbed some grub with the BOTW dudes then we started playing in the purpose inc poker tournament at the venetian hotel.

So played that until 3AM then went out with the gang (who had been waiting on me) to a local club where we met up with John Reese who was in town for the Hatton/Mayweather fight. We partied until about 9AM then had breakfast then flew home…. I slept in the airport then on the plane home. I forgotten what a all nighter felt like… still sucks =P

GREAT times….

People will probably be surprised to hear this but I think this might be one of my last conferences. I will be doing SXSW. I will not be doing affiliate summit. Its great to see everyone and I will miss that part but we are working on some massive things right now in the mobile sector, nextpimp evolution 3, mma website and elite retreat revamp.
