The Blogger Lounge is abuzz again today with networking opportunities, bloggers working on their posts about Affiliate Summit, Wii tournaments and plenty of Vemma Energy!
Vemma set up this morning with icy cold energy drinks – let me tell you – there were PLENTY of people who needed a pick-me-up this morning.
Drew of BenSpark issued a challenge for Wii, offering an XSHOT Camera Extender to anyone who beat him. Michael Pomposello who works for Content Written, took the challenge and shut Drew OUT!!! Michael is now the proud owner of an XSHOT!
John Chow was hanging out at the Lounge part of the afternoon, blogging and uploading video. He made a beer run to the bar in the Exhibitors area and brought me one.
Unfortunately the bar was closing down as Affiliate Summit East was drawing to a close and many of us had ‘free drink tickets’ which we hadn’t used, so John gathered them all together, went around asking people for theirs – which of course they were delighted to donate to the ’cause’ and off he went to the bar with his roller bag and entourage, me included.
The bar tender did not stand a chance against John Chow and handed over the beer. Be sure to watch John Chow’s video of the entire episode. We went back to the Blogger Lounge with our 30 or 40 beer and started drinking, tweeting about it & attracting a few more people.

Thanks to Vemma, we had a WHOLE cart of ice to keep our beer chilled and we stayed in the Blogger Lounge until 7 pm, working on our posts, chatting and drinking beer Now that’s my kind of party!
It was great to see you the last few days – thanks for all you did in the blogger lounge.
And maybe I shouldn’t post this publicly, but the NYPD asked me for copies of those pictures I took of you when you used the XSHOT in that unique way. :p

LOL Shawn – the woman who was violated so atrociously made a point of coming to me today to say she was wearing capris – she’ll never wear a skirt again!!! Luckily I have a “Get Out Of Jail Free’ card from a NYPD friend – it could have been a very uncomfortable night in jail if not for ‘contacts’. It’s not “What you know, but who you know!”
Thank you and Missy for another wonderful Affiliate Summit – it was such a huge success and so much FUN – I absolutely loved taking part!
ReplyHow do I ALWAYS just miss Gary Vee? I’m going to have to hold a sit-in at the store. I think this is the 3rd show I’ve missed quality Gary Vee time!

ReplyWhat a blast! I can’t wait for our next time together at IzeaFest. I think I’m hooked now
So maybe you will get me to go to Vegas baby. I haven’t had time to write my blog posts yet, still recovering from the fun and mayhem, but will do so soon.
ReplyHeather, you were the best Blogger Lounge Mistress I ever met. And not only because I’ve only been to one blogger lounge but because you totally rock. It was great hanging there and spending most of my time in that room, especially Tuesday. Tuesday I was so sad to go and then mad because my train was over an hour and a half late. I could have stayed much later. Oh well, there is always IZEAFest and I have some big time surprises scheduled for that.
ReplyGreat read..I have bookmarked this page!!
ReplyWOW! Wished I had been there. If only there was a convention like this in LA. I would strongly recommend that when you get the chance to visit LA, hook up with the team at Orange County Limousine Rental, to take advantage of the time you have there. They know all the places to visit, and could probably organise to pick everyone up from the airport.
