Indian Rock in Berkeley, CA (With Sylvia Paull)

Your experiences at Foo and Bar?

I didn't go to Foo but I did go to Bar. It was the first geek "camp" I've ever been to, I found the format a bit interesting and a bit of a surprise. More of a party than a geekout. (Nothing wrong with parties.)

There were young folk making out, copping a feel or a kiss. The women had big lipstick smooches on their faces. Lots of sex in the air.

I heard about a few products, talked briefly with Matt Mullenweg about connecting the OPML Editor and Wordpress. Saw some big bright eyes. Scoble was really turned on, he loves this kind of stuff (not the sex, I assume, he's happily married).

So did you go to Foo? Or Bar? Did anyone go to both?

What was your experience? What did you learn? How would you do a camp? Clearly this isn't just an O'Reilly thing anymore (thank god, they hate me). Who else should do one? What are some other good venues? Is there any way to do one outdoors in the country? Maybe at a university? I bet Bozeman would be a bunch of fun.

What other ideas do you have?

Also, be sure to tell me about all my personality flaws.
