Man, wish I could be there! Maybe next year..
That’s an impressive line up! Well worth the price of admission, but sadly I’d have to pay for airfare out of pocket.
About time you guys come to California!!!! Looking forward to this!
I look forward to it. :)
I wish I could come, aren’t there any Events Apart in the Middle East soon.
Why all the inline styles in that post?
I’m not trying to bust chops here I am just curious if there was a technological reason behind it or just because you did it fast to get it up.
Thanks
Busted!
Did it fast to get it up.
Wouldn’t do it this way normally.
Now I’m really sad! :(
I was hoping for Austin this year now that I work for a company that will pay my way.
Oh well. Guess I’ll have to wait for SXSW 08.
