Hello From Blog World

written by John Chow on November 8th, 2007

Just checking in before I head off to the Blog World Expo at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Last night we got a chance to see the setting up of all the displays. Shoe and I were able to give Nate Whitehilll from Unique Blog Design some pointers on making a great display. And I got my Shoemoney shirt so I’ll be wearing that today if you’re on the lookout for some John Chow sightings.

KA was a great show. That stage was truly amazing and we got great seats as well. Being the business minded geeks that we are, we tried to work out how much the show takes in each day. After much calculations on the iPhone and talking with some of the staffs, we concluded that KA makes $400,000 to $500,000 per night. Sounds great but it will still take some time to pay off the $165 million stage.

Shoemoney will be speaking at 25 minutes so I better get going or I’ll miss it. I’ll report from the show later today.

This looks like an interesting convention. You should give Show a johnchow.com T-shirt.

Sounds like a great place to visit. Wondering if there is any similar convention in the Greater Toronto Region.
Thanks.

By the way John, since you didn’t win the RSS contest, where’s your “Shoe is a better Marketer than me” link, that you both agreed to do when the other one won?

If that is Nate Whitehill in the picture, perhaps Shoemoney should give him a shirt too to replace the one he’s wearing with holes in it :)

Infact get me a shirt too! lol I’d wear a JohnChow shirt if he came up with a cool looking logo like Shoemoney’s ;)

Poor guy! Surely his $800 designs could afford to get him a shirt that doesn’t look like the rag I wash my car with! hehe…

I actually wonder how much he made by making John his site since he probably did johnchow.com for free.

Haha, so you three can step away from the computer screen then?

Who can come up with the best caption - best I can do is “Alright, who had the curry and beer on the plane?!?”

Got Booth Babes? :twisted:

It seems like blogger conventions are taking over the ground COMDEX and other computer shows held in the 80’s and 90’s.

Are those holes in Nate’s shirt? Tell Shoe to hook him up with some new threads.

I’ve convinced my wife that blog conferences are in our travel plans, so I’ll be there next year.

It was pretty cool that you guys meet up at a blog convention. Wish i was there to party as well.

I don’t think exhibiting would help personal finance/investing blogs. These type of conventions are more for blogs that blog about blogging. It’s for the hardcore types..
