Hello From Blog World

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.

Reply to this commentHe isn’t smiling because he lost
Reply to this commentHe smiles like this ->
Reply to this commentI think he is smiling inside because of Shoe’s hat…:P
Reply to this commentYea I don’t think a smile would kill you
Reply to this commentWhat? He is smiling.
Reply to this commentNow I really want to go
I think exhibiting would help my site traffic a lot
I wonder how much a booth is. Maybe I will go next year!
Reply to this commentI’ll get you tickets
Reply to this commentSounds like a great place to visit. Wondering if there is any similar convention in the Greater Toronto Region.

Man I wish I had gone, I don’t have one of those fancy shirts though. I’d much rather a JohnChow shirt however
Say cheese for the camera will ya!
Reply to this commentBy 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?
Reply to this commentThat is what I was wondering. Also where is your notebook for taking notes
J/K Congrats on the 4,000+ gain.

Reply to this commentMan, I wish I was there…. Maybe next year I’ll go!!! Nice pics!
Reply to this commentIf 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
Reply to this commenthaha good point tyler!
Reply to this commentPoor 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…
Reply to this commentI actually wonder how much he made by making John his site since he probably did johnchow.com for free.
Reply to this commentLOL… yeah that pic was during our initial booth setup so I was not dressed up in our formal Unique Blog Designs gear…
Reply to this commenthey john you are a pretty attractive guy and all but where are the booth babes?
Reply to this commentHope you’re havin fun at blog world. Wish I could go to that to schmooze with the big guys. maybe one day.
Reply to this commentHave a great time and take lots of photos from the Expo!
Reply to this commentDont forgot to ask what he did to get the RSS Subscribers!
Reply to this commentHaha, 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?!?”
Reply to this commenti didn’t know you were that tall john. shoe looks like a hobbit next to you
Reply to this commentGot Booth Babes?
It seems like blogger conventions are taking over the ground COMDEX and other computer shows held in the 80’s and 90’s.

I should so be there…I live right here in Vegas. Welcome!!! I look forward to your blogs about the event. I’m just startingout…you’re my hero. Have fun in Vegas…and hit me up next time…I can get free tix to anything at the Venetian. I just need to know a week in advance.
Reply to this commentJohn you are the tallest
Reply to this commentAre 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.
Reply to this commentIf I’m living in the states I would visit the expo
Reply to this commentKeep the pix coming
Reply to this commentWhen John Chow meets Shoemoney, sparks.
Reply to this commentIt was pretty cool that you guys meet up at a blog convention. Wish i was there to party as well.
Reply to this commentI 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..
