Re: First Annual COMMON conference - Spring 2007

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We tried for iSocial^^2 (iSocial squared) and that stuck right up till 
everyone got there. Some board member guy went around whipping up 
dissent for our new name and the masses voted 'Cuds 2 forever.'

It was a great Cuds 2 though no matter what the name. A fantastic wrap 
up to a fantastic conference.

I for one felt the community portion of the conference was up several 
levels over past conferences. One measure of that was the record amounts 
awarded in the 50/25/25 raffles for the COMMON foundation. You don't get 
record amounts without good crowds at the events.  All the iSocial 
events were very well attended. Many things to do and give aways and 
food at nearly all of them. There was even an excellent crowd at MOM, 
perhaps twice or more what has been in recent conferences by my guess.

The Main event party on Thursday was awesome - they gave away a 50" Sony 
HDTV!!  Imagine the feeling COMMON President Randy Dufault had when they 
drew his number for the TV!!!  He gave it back of course and a new 
winner was drawn.  But there was Trevor on the stage looking for the 
winner while Randy is holding up the wnning ticket right next to him! 
Classic.
