(I caught all the "a's" "and's" and "the's".) Seriously, it was an amazing experience, and one of them was meeting the real person behind Lorelle at Wordpress. Thank you for being so giving of your time and energy. (Personally, I think you should bottle and sell that energy thing. That's a real money-maker, in my estimation.)

Can you imagine what next year will be like? :) That is a fantastic writeup, I am glad you did it because now I don’t have to put the work in to create a summary, it’s all here! ;) It amazes me how the buzz from the event is still going on, people are telling me just from articles such as this one they are feeling bad for missing out.

Just like last year, I came home a different person. Every thought that contributed and made something that was bigger than all of us. We had an extreme incredible experience. I plan to make another one. I sure hope we all come together again! Thank you, Lorelle, for all that you contributed. You are a glorious and wonderful part of all of this. Hiya!

When I read Chris Garrett's quote, I let out a loud, hearty belly-laugh when he suggested that perhaps the conference should have been named "Hugfest 2008." Oh Good Lord, he was absolutely right. You and I know it was a most incredible experience for many of us, myself included. The sense of community that was present was incredible. Never before did I feel like I truly belonged! It goes to show just how powerful a blogging community can become because not only does it attract positive and enthusiastic people but it also creates an atmosphere of unparalleled trust, the likes of which I've rarely seen at conferences. Hugfest it is! LOL. Lorelle:

The problem is that no words can really describe the atmosphere of actually being there. I loved seeing you and Liz and Terry and... again and expecially sharing the whole thing with all our new friends. Will be there for the '09 experience. Looking forward to seeing you all again.

What a post Lorelle. I was just saying on Utterz, not half an hour ago, that someone should put together a post linking all of us who wrote posts about SOBCon08. For me, there are more posts to write to go with the ones already. So much goodness all in one place, and I can only echo what was said above. Thanks. Woot and wow! What a post Lorelle.

This is so cool, all of these posts about SOBCon -- it's like a giant scrapbook we're all making together. I love it. What a great roundup of quotes and photos, Lorelle.
