New York Bound?

So, being an occa­sional web designer I still keep up on var­i­ous web con­tent based web­sites. Things like A List Apart, and Vit­a­min. So when the lat­ter had a small blurb on their front page about five free seats to this con­fer­ence called “Future of Online Adver­tis­ing.” I decided to look into it.

The group who puts it on has put on two pre­vi­ous con­fer­ences this year, “Future of Web Appli­ca­tions” and “Future of Web Design.” So I decided to enter the con­test on Vitamin’s web­site, not really expect­ing to win. It was a sim­ple mat­ter, the first five to respond to the con­test got the seats. I expected those to have been snatched up and so I almost didn’t enter, but I guess a lot of peo­ple fol­lowed the same logic and actu­ally didn’t enter. I got an email an hour ago noti­fy­ing me that I had won and would be able to attend the conference.

It isn’t an all expenses paid trip, I’ll need to get up there and get hous­ing for the nights, but I’m pretty excited about it. With my trip to Chicago I will have to find some way to fund both of these, but I can do it. It’s good moti­va­tion to get off my butt and sell some stuff I have lay­ing around my room.
