Hehehehe. With a travel schedule like this coming up, the only way to get ready is to have fun with it and make fun of it. I have no idea what I’ve gotten myself into, but I have a feeling that conference burnout is right around the corner … six months from now. So, in the spirit of having fun with it, I’m announcing the…
Matt McGee U.S. Tour 2008

Hi Matt, Thanks for linking to the concert ticket generator. That looks like a fun tool and one I haven’t seen before! I hope I get to catch up with you at one of the Portland events. Your advice has been invaluable to me over the last few months as I’ve been following your blog and I would like the opportunity to hear you speak in person. Thanks!

Thanks so much, Vanessa — it would be great to meet you, too. Let me know if you end up attending Searchfest or the “Hot Seat” event. For the Hot Seat, I’m going to be presenting the SEO Success Pyramid. Don’t tell anyone yet, though.
