Meet Me In Seattle
I will be in Seattle this Wednesday to take care of some business. If any readers want to meet up, I’ll be hanging at Ralph’s Grocery & Deli for the Seattle blogger meetup from 7PM till about 10PM. The address is 2035 4th Ave, Seattle , WA 98121.
I don’t know how many readers I have in Seattle but it’ll be cool to meet one or two.
Things That Make You Go Hmmm
After making my post about Agloco entering the dead pool, I figure everyone would understand that entering a dead pool means the company is going under. However, that didn’t stop four people from signing up. As a matter of fact, since entering the dead pool, my AGLOCO network has increased by 194 members. Hmmm.
Get a Free Zac Johnson T Shirt
Zac Johnson is looking pretty spiffy in his new theme. He also has a new T Shirt to go with it. Not only is Zac sending me a free shirt, he wants to send you a free shirt as well. To get a free Zac T, all you have to do is get on his Top Spots. What is that? Go here to find out.

Get a Piece of The Cow
The cow has offered his “Milk it” theme to the world. If you want to copy a blog that was a copy of me, then step right and get milked! The theme comes in three versions.
- The Basic version at $39 - comes with two links in the footer that you’re not allowed to remove.
- The Premium version at $59 - premium makes the footer links go *poOf!* and gives you the choice of 3 different color schemes to choose from.
- The Personalized version at $79 - If you want to get a cool customized header* with the package, this is the version you’re looking for.
If I was the cow, I would do what Shoemoney did and offer up some nice Nebraska beef. I’m hungry now.

Awwww thanks for the mention John! For those of you who wants to see the theme in action, here’s the link.
Reply to this commentThe University kid already bought the theme.
Reply to this commentIt’s a pretty nice theme. Sad to see it’s not going to be so unique any more.
Reply to this commentYou got to be kidding selling that theme, right? you are? Please tell me you are kidding? Crap you even linked to the live demo , you ain’t kidding. Dude, do you realize that more than 10.000 free wordpress themes look better than that? No seriously. Oh yeah, and to mention, nice menu bar…
Reply to this commentEver heard of branded one endorsed an imitation. Looks like a friendly competition.
Reply to this commentLooks good!
I like that a lot.
Reply to this commentGuess some people don’t know what deadpool is
That John Cow template is pretty cool, although by offering it to everyone its kind of took out the uniqueness factor to readers who are yet to find his blog.
Reply to this commentHaha, people must still really believe in Agloco.
Reply to this comment~ Dave
I guess they are just making people believe.
Reply to this commentthat is awesome - what a marketer
Reply to this commentYou used to post ramblings a least 2-3 times a month, so I’m wondering what’s happening? Your ramblings is what gets some of us bloggers some publicity…but you simply just stopped giving

Reply to this commentMaking any trips to Toronto anytime soon, John?
Reply to this commentShould be in TO summer of 2008.
Reply to this commentJohn,
Reply to this commentIf you plan on coming to Toronto in 2008. I highly suggest you make a trip to what is called mesh. It’s at http://www.meshconference.com . Alot of important people come out to it and it’s an overall good time.
I’m about 30 minutes south of Seattle–in Tacoma. I might make the trek. What’s to get done in Seattle?
Reply to this commentNothing major, but since I’m going to be down there might as well meet some people.
Reply to this commentI was looking at the Cow’s milk it theme yesterday and thinking about getting it. It’s a nice looking theme
Reply to this commentThat’s too funny about the increase in Agloco signups since the collapse. I guess reading comprehension is on the decline.
Hopefully you don’t get mobbed by readers at the deli in Seattle:)
Reply to this commentI work in the Seattle area and am 90% sure I’ll be at the event. I’m looking forward to meeting you John.
Is anyone else coming to the seattle meetup?
Reply to this commentRight now, there are 10 confirmed for the meetup. Looking forward to meeting you.
Reply to this commentWhen are you coming to the north-east coast?
Reply to this commentIm jealous! Luckies!!
Reply to this commentI still haven’t been “confirmed” by the groups organizer yet but I’m just going to show up anyway.
I’m sure I’ll have a couple questions ask you
and I’ll have to get a picture with you as well.
Reply to this commentJohn, I’ll be at the meetup on Wednesday. I’m excited to meet you.
Reply to this commentCan’t help laughing about the increase in Agloco signups. Like Winston Chruchill said, “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”
Reply to this commentHaha, yes, I know. I just about died reading that. I can … sorta see one or two. But hundreds? I mean…?
Reply to this commentThat shirt by Zac isn’t really free… you have to spend $25 to get it. Sneaky though.
Reply to this commentWORTH SPENDING I GUESS! $25 to get your link on his blog and a t-shirt.
Reply to this commentAd spot would still cost $25 a month. Throwing in a free shirt costs me money to get the shirts and ship them out. It’s a good bonus deal.
Reply to this commentfunny video.
Reply to this commentWhen are you coming to San Francisco or South Vancouver?
Reply to this commentI’ll be in San Francisco in April. South Vancouver? No idea.
Reply to this commentNice theme (cow) — thanks for the pointer.
Wish I could be in Seattle (I’m just across the hill in Spokane), but I’ll be winging my way to Michigan for Christmas. Have fun, all!
Reply to this commentThat proved that everything you touch turns to gold.
Do you think you could resurrect Agloco at least once a week?
Reply to this commentAgloco is dead. What’s the point of continuing to bring it back up in posts other than to use as an example of what not to do?
Reply to this commentToo funny about the Agloco sign ups!
Reply to this commentI could go for some nebraska beef right now. It goes well with the whisky I am sucking down. Yeah I spelled whsiky right…its from the scottish origin what?
Agloco has been nothing short of utter disappointment. I guess people just don’t like the idea of installing obtrusive software on their precious screen real estate…go figure. I think they just need bigger monitors
Reply to this commentI will also be making WP themes; a bit later though. Mine will be free though, and will be designed for the customiser. Its at my blog. http://blog.redzero.co.za
Reply to this commentThanks for the listing John, appreciate it!
Reply to this commentI live in seattle! sweet…..i might meet a celebrity
Reply to this commentWow, so the great John Chow fell on his face along with a few other lemmings! And to think you criticised this guy who called you on your agloco bullshit back in march! Crash and burn along with your rep. LoL
Reply to this commentI like these randomized posts. They’re fun.
Reply to this commentI meant San Francisco is like Vancouver of the South. Similar in people and culture and food. Except San Francisco is not as pretty, or clean.
