[mini rant]
I held out hope for #wordcampdx, I think that theres still some promise, though it’s all going to be in the sessions. From now on I think that I’m going to skip every keynote as there always one ritual away from a cult? I’ve been to many tech confrences, the only two that have really creep-eeed me out have been Drupalcamp and now wordcamp. I think that they evangelizm is all with good intent, and I’m not trying to be cynical, but think about it. Everyone who has payed $10, and showed up @ 840, so I think that we can assume that there is some level of love for the topic of the day, wordpress(wp). I don’t need to be sold on how cool wp is, I’m already here.
I’m still holding out hope for the sessions, but so far things have gotten off on the wrong foot for me.

When Lorelle told me what she was going to do, I figured folks would either absolutely love it, or hate it. From what I’ve read the reaction seems to be about 2-to-1 in favor of liking it, but those who disliked it were quite adamant.
Aaron, I’m glad that people loved it, I can completely understand having something kick off the event with lots of energy. I though that the concept was great and I’m glad that others really got alot out of it. That part makes me happy but I did feel a bit out of place. We missed you tonight I hope that things went well. I hope that my PDXCrit notes and any other notes that betsy took will help with next years. I’m all for helping. Thanks again for heading up the event.
