Yearlykos 2007: Are we going?

by Timroff

Mon Dec 18, 2006 at 10:07:28 AM EST

So another call went out today on the Big Orange, urging people to register, and for groups to sign up for tables.

So the question is, who from ePM is planning to go this year? Dania Audax and I are planning to drive to Chicago (since Clevo is only 8 hours away) a few days in advance to sightsee and meet BarbinMD for dinner. I'd be glad to work the table, do some liveblogging (I've got a laptop now, so I can actually post from the floor) and I have a new source for t-shirts -- we can actually get silkscreened shirts, much higher quality, and I can get them cheap.

Anyway, do we want to get a table? Who all is going? What do we want to do?

[editor's note, by wanderindiana] The answers to Timroff's questions: yes, ePluribus Media will be exhibiting again at YearlyKos 2007; I have no comprehensive list of attendees yet, but I registered today; and we're working on it, and you can help us. See the comments for more info.

a look (5.00 / 2) (#1)

at wanderindiana's diary from 10/2/06 indicated that standingup will be there... am I right? Anyone else?

I will be there (5.00 / 1) (#3)

I can help out at the ePM booth as well if need be.

Consider yourself penciled in. (5.00 / 1) (#4)

And thank you!

Last year's schedule used overlapping 90 minute blocks for table coverage; you can see last year's planning commentaries in the Public Notice section for an idea of how the process went the first time around.

Since we're still 8 months out from YK2007, it would be great to get as many table volunteers as possible to commit as far in advance as possible. :-) We'll have more time to plan and coordinate this year, which is a definite plus.

Got a jump on me, eh? (5.00 / 2) (#5)

Yes - the registration form to have an exhibit has been sent in, the Board of Directors approved the funding. Discussion is happening about what we need to be "outstanding" this year. That concept will involve multi-media and the big side screens during the breaks (it was our idea and YDK likes it). We're still working out technical details. Lefty and Ilona will most likely be there, but their job will be to snag VIPs for interviews (Timroff will probably get double duty). Susie Dow has some things we can reuse from last year. I was going to try to put together a sortof timetable and then plunk it in Wander's lap since he will end up being the Chicago driver, if you will. I wasn't gonna bug him until January though.

I was planning to bring (5.00 / 1) (#7)

all of my gear -- including the Lappy 2000 -- and do my interview thing, which seems to be my particular niche.

: Which is perfect, Tim (5.00 / 1) (#8)

We're counting on you to do exactly that, Tim. Thanks! I'm not sure yet if I'll be there yet myself.

Planning to attend (5.00 / 1) (#9)

Barring any unforeseen problems, I'm planning on attending. Expect to fly in on Friday and depart on Sunday.

Planning to attend again, too. (5.00 / 2) (#12)

And I will have the latest-gen iPod by then, which will allow me to record podcasts directly into a much more portable device. Can't be bad....

Have your ears been burning and/or ringing?

Over the past few weeks there has been a "behind-the-scenes" discussion going on, fueled by Lefty Limblog and kfred, on how we might contribute a little something extra this year. The upshot -- the board has already voted to go again!

If you'd like, I can send you copies of the messages in that thread - the same goes for anyone interested in helping with the planning and coordination of the ePluribus Media presence at YK2007 in Chicago.

I'm planning on being there this year - hey, I can practically walk to the Chicago city limits, and I'm 20 minutes from McCormick Place in good traffic... and there are others who have mentioned their intention to attend.

Just let me know if you want to join the discussion list, but feel free to share ideas here, as well.

yes please (none / 0) (#6)

I'd like to contribute as much as possible to the cause, and was already planning to donate as much time and energy necessary to make this happen, since we had so much fun doing it last year.

so, yes, please send me the discussion so far, and help me get up to speed. I'd really like to get fully involved in the process.

The thread is on its way.
Again, if anyone else would like to join the YK2007 email discussion thread, PLMK.
