Star Cross Geek Bloggers - or How I Almost Meetup With The Scobleizer Yesterday (Saturday) was the final day of MGB (my summary of events is coming soon). Robert Scoble was in Atlanta presenting a session and then was heading out to a local Geek Dinner he arranged. I tried to setup a time to meet him during the day, but we were in seperate parts of the Gorgia World Congress Center - which is huge, by the way ( Some fun facts- Including meeting rooms, galleries, exhibit halls, kitchens and storerooms, there are more than 90 acres of floor area (3.9 million square feet) on multiple levels throughout the GWCC. The 33,000-square-foot Thomas Murphy Ballroom is on a level equal to that of an 11-story building. The GWCC Building C entrance lobby is over 1,000 feet long, 80 feet wide and over 90 feet high, making it large enough to hold the Titanic (882 feet long, 92 feet 6 inches wide, and 60 feet 6 inches from the waterline to the main deck ). So huge that we were unable to cross paths. Incredible but true - we were in the same building. We swapped emails to synchronize our schedules, but it didn’t work out. So, the day wrapped up and I headed out to Six Flags Over Georgia with my colleagues to go to the MGB attendee party - which included a performance by Jet (the Aussie rock n’ rollers who’s debut single was used by Apple in a worldwide campaign to advertised the iPod - yes, the irony was not lost by me). It was an awesome concert and I’ll put my thoughts down about the party later, too. When I got back to my room I had a note from Robert that he went to the party too and that I should have come to the dinner. Yes Robert, you’re right, I should have gone to the geek dinner in Atlanta . Do’h! The note also said he was leaving town at 8am. and it’s now 830am. I’ve missed my chance to say G’day, and so today I go home a little sad. UPDATE: The stars have aligned and we have scheduled a time to meet. :) [ Currently Playing : Look What You’ve Done - Jet - New Music Live from The Panel (03:38) ] Comments Anonymous July 24, 2005 So, I am sitting in the CNN Center Plaza in Atlanta (My Location on Virtual Earth), drinking a… Anonymous July 24, 2005 So, I am sitting in the CNN Center Plaza in Atlanta (My Location on Virtual Earth), drinking a tall Americano… Additional resources Last updated on 2005-07-24
