And I learned so much from YOU. This is one of the unique characteristics that separated SOBCon from other conferences. Everyone was on equal ground. We all came to learn from each other. Thank you so much for helping to set the tone for the whole event for me from the start! And hope the flight back home overseas was without excitement - those are the best! @Joanna Young:

I was talking to a friend last night and said it was like being at a reunion of long lost friends... that you'd never met before. Hadn't remembered Wendy's line till I came back and read this. It captures the feeling so well. And I think that *does* extend to other (social) bloggers who couldn't make it - were they to walk into the room the feeling and the reaction would be just the same. It's the shared values that connect us together. It was great meeting you Lorelle and I learned so much from you See you soon I hope Joanna Lorelle, I’ve enjoyed looking back over the moments (and the photos) too, enjoying each in its own right, but also working out the essence of the event, which was extraordinary.

And that's what makes it so hard to share with people who weren't there - not to sound cultish. Somehow we need to stretch it into another day or so. Sure, for content, but more for those moments.

Everybody knows your name. There's just a sense of comfortableness. We don't want it to end. Lorelle, I keep coming back to this: SOBCon is like Cheers (in all the best ways).

Wow! Lorelle! Reading this felt like being there again. I leave tomorrow for London. A professor from City U wrote me today to tell me what she wanted to learn. She said that she wanted to know the what and why about using blogs, the challenges we have faced and how we've overcome them. I'm back to that word, trust. Thank you, Lorelle, for reminding me that the value is in the spaces, not the words. :) We had the time of our lives and every moment counted.
