[jehochman]

We don't seem to have a party thread yet, so here goes. First question: When is the Google Dance? Tuesday? I need to make travel plans.

[fsmedia]

I'll be there for the whole conference, can't wait!

it will be my first SES event and my first Google dance attendence!! :)

[evilgreenmonkey]

I think that Joe is working on a party thread now, some of the engines have been slow at releasing info.

[broontoon]

Google Dance invitation announced on Tuesday night. RSVP requested.

See San Jose pages on SES homepage http://www.searchenginestrategies.com/sew/sj07/glance.html

[Joseph Morin]

I'm awaiting some details so that I have more than 1 party to post ;)

Official party thread should hopefully be up by weeks end.

[danielos4ever]

I am very excited about attending the ses san jose 2007, my first conference ever and I can't wait for the google dance. I have heard a lot of great things about not only the conference but all the extra curricular activities that go on.

[Joseph Morin]

all the extra curricular activities that go on.

You have NO idea....:eek:

[danielos4ever]

Since this is my first time attending, what should I be expecting? Is there anything I should be looking out for? How hard will it be for me considering I won't know anyone there or anything thats going on? I am excited but nervous.

[victorcab]

Is the Yahoo party happening this year?

SES at Chicago was the first conference I attended. Learning wise, I did not think I gained a lot. However, the connections I made were excellent.

Last year was my first SES and I missed most parties simply because I didn't know about them, so I hope to find them here.

By the way, has anyone else noticed that the SES San Jose site at http://www.searchenginestrategies.com/sew/sj07/ appears to only be Firefox-friendly? If I go there in IE7, the big blue nav bar that is supposed to be on the left covers up the right side of the content area. Sometimes if I reload the page in IE7, it will move back to the left, but another reload pushes it back to the right. I tried it on two different PCs.

Tsk, tsk...

Sorry to get off-topic.

Sometimes if I reload the page in IE7, it will move back to the left, but another reload pushes it back to the right. I tried it on two different PCs.I think it's to stop people using Internet Explorer from attending (and rightly so!), although I'll pass this along in case it is a bug.

Great. I looked all over the site when I first noticed it, but didn't see a link to a webmaster or anything except registration stuff.

Sold. I've booked a 14 hour direct flight from Sydney, Australia on the basis of this comment :)

Kidding of course - but I will be flying out to my first SES event. The overseers decided to let me out of my cage.

[danielos4ever]

I am coming in on Sunday morning, are there any events on Sunday or do all the events go on between Mon and Thur?

[sheseltine]

My first time in SJ, but I know from NY & CHI, that the night before usually involves finding the hotel bar that everyone is gathered at...

Hey I tried to PM you but it says that you are not accepting private messages. Email me about SES: natasha at thatgirlfrommarketing.com. I just booked a room at the Crowne Plaza, but I can cancel.

[victorcab]

What's the best party list?

Hi Natasha, sorry I didn't click the right button so people could contact me. I'll send an email and we can be in touch. Are you arriving same dates 8/20 and departing 8/23? If so, hope we can connect. It's better at the Fairmont, free wireless because I'm a member of presidents club. More in email. cb

[evilgreenmonkey]

Monkey will now be at San Jose :D

Monkey does not drink Tequila or dance, but does like speaking with SEW members :cool:

See you there,

Rob

[pleeker]

Just got a newsletter from Incisive about all the San Jose stuff going on, and it does say that Webmasterradio.fm will host Search Bash on August 22. :)

No time/location given.

[Smooth Operator]

All I know is I am going to need a big greasy breakfast and alot of coffee every morning!
:cool:

[Marcs123]

DoubleClick is also having a party on the 22nd at Paragon.

Original Joes down the block from the conference has the best breakfasts

If they are not co-sponsoring with Webmaster Radio it should be a small event... wait a minute DoubleClick is being bought by Google... so Google is having two parties..lol

[evilgreenmonkey]

Original Joes down the block from the conference has the best breakfastsI wish I knew that last year - hopefully I'll be able to sniff it out.

[CarrieHill]

I havent seen any details of the WebmasterRadio.fm party at the "official" ses website - do you need a secret handshake, knock or bribe to get the details on that one or am I just being impatient :)

I wonder if there will be another Trexy pub crawl again before hand :)

don't worry I will drag you there one morning

[AussieWebmaster]

There are a lot of events that are done at the conference or announced there... the best way to get to know about them is to do the rounds of the exhibitors and ask them

[CarrieHill]

Nice - thanks for the info guys.

[rustybrick]

Where is Joe Morin?

[storyspinner]

Where is Joe Morin?

That's a good question! He must not have any party information.... :eek: he's incredibly quiet!

[AussieWebmaster]

I think Joe is putting something together and it will be up today or tomorrow... getting the list is harder as many big parties have been dropped and the invite ones are very hush hush... they only tell me on Friday so I don't try and get thousands of people asking for invites

[Joseph Morin]

True - I'm working on it now, there have been a couple of last minute additions and I'm still waiting on one more call to finalize plans for a PubCrawl. Frank is so right, I think even most of the private party organizers have been playing their cards close to the vest by letting me know - yes, there will be a party but were not telling you when or where just yet - because they want to control capacity.

I'm hoping to get it up today.

[CarrieHill]

Thanks for the update, Joe - I'll be more patient :)

[AussieWebmaster]

Joe is always the man.... though who is doing Chicago I do not know!!!

[sportsguy]

I'm hoping to get it up today.

Hey Joe - I have a few spam e-mails here that can apparently help with that man... ;)

Damn, I WISH I was heading to SJ next week...

Guess Europe for 2 weeks in Sept will have to do... ;)

I'll be in Cardiff midSeptember for a rugby match... then a week or two in October in France for the rugby world cup... going to any of those???

Sadly Frank...no. :(

We land on the 6th and fly out again for home on the 18th and we hit London, Amsterdam, go through Germany and Switzerland, then into northern Italy. We finish in Paris, then head home.

Busy trip, but I'm there for pics, drinks and eating. :) I'll head back to interesting bits in a couple years.
