Sorry for the lack of blog posts this week. I have been busy getting ready for IzeaFest, which begins tomorrow night. The event will start off tomorrow night at Busch Gardens in Tampa, FL (Howl-O-Scream) and end Sunday in Orlando, FL at SeaWorld.
What is IzeaFest?
Direct from IzeaFest’s website: “An interactive event designed to educate, inform and connect social media enthusiasts. Meet the world’s foremost social media experts in a collaborative, fun and open setting. Learn how to grow your traffic, build your brand and make more money online.”
I am really excited. I’ve never been to Howl-O-Scream. Pretty sad when you think about it, because I have lived in the Tampa Bay area for over 15 years. Between you and me, my wife doesn’t like scary things.
So here is a quick run down of the event. To see the full version go here.
Thursday Night: Howl-O-Scream
Friday: Conference Day – Ted Murphy, Brian Clark, Michael Gray and many more
Saturday: Conference Day – Aaron Brazell, Chris Brogan and many more
Sunday: Sea World
I can’t believe I get all this for $114.50. The original price is $229, but I had a half off coupon thanks to Drew Bennett. The price for Howl-O-Scream is $39 and Sea World is $75, so those two alone equal the cost of my ticket. Throw in some free food, great networking opportunities with some of the top bloggers in the world and oh yea, some education, and this makes for an amazing deal. I almost feel guilty, but I don’t, lol.
I already have a couple of blog posts scheduled while I am away. Unfortunately though, I will not have the time to do my weekly video because of the event and after parties, sorry. Hopefully I can make it up to you guys with the information I learn while at IzeaFest. I may try to blog at the event if I have time, but I doubt I will. I really want to absorb as much information as possible and have some fun too. My little buddy Brian from TeenDomainer.com will be there and I do believe he will be blogging while at the event.
Make sure to follow my Twitter account over the next few days. I’ll be tweeting from the event and sharing pictures. I heard last years event was crazy. 
Only 1 more day, I can’t wait I am packing my bags now. Its going to be fun!
I got to tell you I don’t know what will be scarier – going to Howl-O-Scream or hanging around with Chef Patrick – we’ll be having a blast for sure and learning a lot – I’m looking forward to meeting TeenDomainer – at 16 I was working the counter at KFC – bawk! :} we’ll be doing some deep frying and breading of some juicy tidbits of the real meat of the program Fri./Sat – then this 55 yr. old is ready to have some good old fashion fun !!

It sounds like a great conference.
Wish I was there man. I am sure you two will have a blast and maybe you can learn how to start a blog and use social media to promote it:) Have fun bud!
