San Diego is well-known as “America’s finest city”, to which “prettiest” can be added with little argument from most people who have experienced it.

Not feeling the love? Are you kidding? I’m so excited I can hardly speak. (Although that would kind of defeat the purpose.)

AEA San Fran sounds wunderbar! But AEA Chicago is in 3 days and we’re not feeling the love. ; )

Such a nice write-up Jeffrey. We had a blast at AEANYC and Kel and I are really looking forward to spending a few days by the Bay with you, Carrie, Ava and the usual cast of ~~miscreants~~luminaries.

When AEA is going to be in Rome, Italy?

Davide, what a wonderful idea. I love Rome! We're beginning to plan for next year. International travel might be in the works. It is too early to say anything definite. Thank you for your thoughts!

are you going to post any audio or video from An Event Apart after the season is over?

@Aaron: We intended to videotape An Event Apart Chicago, but had to scotch that idea, alas. We're not planning audio podcasts of this year's events. People love podcasts, to be sure. But I'm not certain the ideas presented at An Event Apart can be adequately reproduced through audio alone.

I went for a flyby tour of the bay with a friend in his small single-engine Moody on September 10, 2001....

@Ole: Thanks for sharing that experience!

Any ideas of when the next conference will be? ... I hope the next AEA will be in January, as otherwise, SXSW will take precedence on our limited budget.

@Andrew: We're just beginning to plan 2008. No dates are booked yet. But we're unlikely to schedule events in January or February, as it's winter, and the weather is not always a conference planner's friend. (Even if we scheduled an event in a tropical, snowless paradise, folks traveling there could hit major weather-related delays.) Hey, nothing wrong with SXSW. Maybe I'll see you there. (Very different kind of conference. I love them both.)

it’s the same week as my wedding and i’ll be out of town! double d’oh!

@Philip: Congratulations to you and your bride. Many happy returns!

@Tim, we’ve retrospectively discounted your ticket. Thanks for posting and thanks for coming. See you Monday.

I was a reader of zeldman.com on Aug. 9, when you first announced the SF event … but there wasn’t a discount code mentioned … and I unwittingly hurried to register. Serves me right for not procrastinating (for once).

That aside, I’m greatly looking forward to the Event.

I’m going to have to disagree about San Francisco being “California’s jewel” and “America’s prettiest city”.

Surely La Jolla (Spanish for “the jewel”) would be California’s jewel. Likewise, San Diego is well-known as “America’s finest city”, to which “prettiest” can be added with little argument from most people who have experienced it. Or maybe Boston in the fall.

That said, San Francisco is awesome and unique, though in more of a technical, financial, bayside freakish kind of way.

About every 7 years I find an excuse to return to San Francisco. The timing is right, so I immediately convinced my corporate overlord to sponsor my visit.

I rarely get a chance to heckle JZ in person.

Hoohah!

Any ideas of when the next conference will be? My company is out of budget for conferences for the rest of the 2007, but I hope the next AEA will be in January, as otherwise, SXSW will take precedence on our limited budget.
