Are any of you going to attend SMX West, it is going to be THE SEM conference of the year! I’m hoping that you can make it, we are going to be handing out some fun t-shirts as schwag. Let me know, would love to hook up.

Hey Cher, sorry it took so long! Yea, it was great meeting you too. Oh, and happy belated birthday! Are you coming to SES in London? There seems to be some sort of party being held on the 21st ;)

I enjoy mixing around with those people! It’s a great even, they should organize it more often :) Guess which one is me :D

Hey Dave,

Excellent recap! It was nice meeting you as well. Hopefully those of us on this side of the pond can meet up soon for round 2!

Happy Holidays!
Cher

@Ciaran, thanks for stopping by. It was great meeting you too. I am honoured to have met one of the brains behind some of the best TV advertising I have ever seen. About the scarf comment, I think both hold true. ;)

I’ll see you at SES in London.

@ Danielle, as far as I can recall the breakfast was greasy and totally appropriate. Tangerine was full of cowboys dancing to R&B, not really my scene but we stayed out on the “balcony”. You better be there next year.

that was a great re-cap, the caliber of networking is more than i can even fathom… and yes tangerine is fun and breakfast at 6am in vegas after a long night of partying is the best. especially if pancakes are involved

Dave – great to meet you; I hope that you managed to get yoru upgrade.

Re your comment “Thanks for picking the scarf Ciaran, your fashion sense is questionably above par”
Did you mean unquestionably?!

;)

Hope to see you on one side of the Irish Sea or another very soon.

@Tim, I know, I thought you were cheating. The first two times I pulled a BH card (and the time we had the faulty moderator) and it was way more fun than defending myself as a WH. I’d say they will do that again next year.

@Gavin, yea, a little glassy eyed all right! When are you going to start posting again?

@Chris, It was nice meeting you too and it was a pleasure to meet your lovely (although slightly crazy) lady. Next time maybe you can leave the rascal at home and join us in the bar instead of being “escorted” out :)

Hey buddy thanks for the beer at the Wynn! It was nice meeting you

The photo for Day 4 says it all Dave. Congrats on the winnings too, always a plus.

Thanks!

That’s funny – I hadn’t thought of that. I DID pull a BH card 2-3 times and the Danny Sullivan card once… never a White Hat card. It seemed a good fit – that night anyway.

ah that’s better….I’m nice =)….

By: Dave Davis

Dave Davis — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 16:24:14 +0000

Go on then, I’ll meet you half way. You’re the nicest person I have ever met in the online marketing industry. How is that?

By: Lisa Ditlefsen

Lisa Ditlefsen — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 16:12:28 +0000

Eh? Are you saying I’m not the nicest person :( damn…I was all excited, no one has ever called me nice ;) Crazy, yes. Drunken, yes. But never nice, and especially not nicest….Feck it, I’m going to pretend you didn’t say it was meant for someone else. I’m so nice ;)

@Adam: Why am I not surprised, Tony is a dark horse. But I guess, he will survive.

@Tim, It was a pleasure meeting you too. I edited the post to make the clarification. I think BH three times in a row is a sign mate! See you next time.

@DK: Not to worry, just sitting here in a back brace waiting to do my physio excercises ;)

Summer event sounds interesting, please do elaborate…

Dave,
I apologize for not making it to the conferance on Thursday, and hence never having a chance to look at your back. :)

Please send me an e-mail, and I will help you sort it out. Also, I have a feeling I will be seeing you this summer. More about that to come, so stay posted.

Tim Dineen — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 00:16:13 +0000

Nice recap – you sure had a busy week!! It was great meeting you!

For clarification, let it be known that I was only playing a Black Hat for the game! I’m purely White Hat the rest of the time.

It was kinda surreal acting as a Black Hat under the watching eyes of the real Matt Cutts.

For the record… again… I am not Tony Clifton, I only manage the guy and since performing at the poker tournament, he has gone awol. I think I saw him talking to those dudes handing out “entertainment” flyers on the strip. Dirty dirty Tony!

By: Dave Davis

Dave Davis — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 20:06:24 +0000

I was rooting for ya Dan! I don’t remember who knocked me out but I was gutted. He called my all in with an 89 off suit preflop, noone left in the hand and the pot odds were brutal for him. He hit a set on the flop! Turn and river were useless to me at that stage. I guess that’s poker! Hopefully I’ll get the honour of playing at your table next year, I assume there will be a bounty on your head.

Hope you had fun for the rest of the week.

By: Dan Perry

Dan Perry — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 19:54:31 +0000

Thanks for the congrats; I really appreciate it. It felt kind of funny; beating Shoemoney, who the audience was clearly rooting for. Oh well… The $2600 made up for it nicely. :)

By: Dave Davis

Dave Davis — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 19:31:53 +0000

@CK: Thanks! That means a lot. Hope you’re having (had?) a good birthday. Stay in touch and I’ll certainly see you at the next PubCon.

@Julie: Yea, I’ll pick up my conference pass next week. Only going to the sessions because I have never actually been to an SES. Will certainly drop by whatever drink-along is happening around then though. I might even get to buy you and Jay a drink this time.

By: Julie Joyce

Julie Joyce — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 19:16:44 +0000

I hope we will…if not formally, we’ll probably come up there for a few days to see everyone. You going?

By: cK !

cK ! — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 19:05:27 +0000

Great meetin ya, too… and thanks for the b-day shoutout!

Sharp lookin’ site, btw!

By: Dave Davis

Dave Davis — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 18:57:30 +0000

Hahaha! I imagine so. They certainly brighten up any casino. Love the way you call it a “drink-along”, here we call it a “session”. Will you be at SES in London in Feb?

By: Julie Joyce

Julie Joyce — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 18:14:19 +0000

Mr. Orange Pants is always happy to come along for the festivities…in fact, when we were having the drink-along with Mic back in February, Jay was wearing the orange pants!!! They get him into a lot of trouble.

By: Dave Davis

Dave Davis — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 18:02:13 +0000

@Stephanie, yea…THAT! Don’t worry, my lips are sealed ;p

@Julie, Agreed. You seem like the person that could handle it. Next time for sure, but make sure you bring Mr. OrangePants too though. RE: Anita, that too but I didn’t want to get too personal. Besides, brains are more important right?

@Lisa, that comment was meant for someone else I think. Seriously though, next time I put my hand on someone’s back, I’ll think of you. Even if it’s yours! I’ll probably see you at SES or at that London thing you are supposed to be organizing. Stay in touch.

By: Lisa Ditlefsen

Lisa Ditlefsen — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 17:01:08 +0000

aweeee you’re so great. I love you =)

Although I’m a bit worried that it was all a typo, instead of “nicest person…” did you mean “drunkest person…”?? =)

We have to hang out again soon mate!

By: Julie Joyce

Julie Joyce — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 16:50:58 +0000

It was nice to finally meet you too…although I hate that I didn’t take the chance to get drunk with yet another Irishman. I would agree on Anita’s smarts and did you happen to notice that she also happens to be stunningly perfect? Actually I hate Anita now that I think about it.

By: Stephanie

Stephanie — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 15:57:07 +0000

Ohh yeah… that.

By: Dave Davis

Dave Davis — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 15:49:40 +0000

HAHA! There is a difference between a calculated risk and a gamble. Confidence is key to the calculation ;)

I wish we could have hung out more too. Hopefully the next event. Next time, I wont get so personal with my conversation!

Oh, and you would make a very VERY good blackhat. (“put it on room 2199″)
