Web 1.0: <BR> Away!


Web 1.0 Summit: My Garage, San Francisco
Originally uploaded by merlinmann.

Web 1.0 is just around the corner, so iron your New Media Blue™ shirt and recharge your ginormous cellphone, because we’re going public, bitch.

  • Yes, this is an actual event
  • Yes, there may very well be one or two beer-fueled presentations from Web People You’ve Heard Of
  • No, the day and location are not finalized (shooting for House of Shields on Wednesday the 5th)
  • Yes, you have to wear whatever name tag I give you
  • Yes, we probably will pass the hat soon to buy us a waitress and a round or two (as with the meetup of yore)
  • Yes, if your company wants to co-sponsor it (along with 43F and the year 1998), it can (coughAppleAPBloggerOdeoSixapartcough).

So. What remains is to nail down the coordinates. I’m going to a big blow-out on Thursday (the 6th), but I wonder if actual Web 2.0 attendees can clue me to any other major evening events on whose toes we mustn’t step. Spill, please.

Post thoughts and ideas here; watch the Upcoming.org page for news on the final happs.

Like I say, let’s try to make this one better-attended than the last one.

I have this incredibly thin window of time between when I get off a plane from London at SFO and when I get on another plane for Portland and it’s marked “WEB 1.0 CONF. DON’T MISS.”

So, +1 from me for keeping the date/time the same. Would hate to miss out on the festivities.

I’m stuck in Florida, Merlin — any thought of webcast/podcast/flycast/plaster cast?

Thanks for the boiling hot coffee Jala Neti this morning first thing… I think the sponsorship levels (I have a sock puppy!) is what did it

So sad that I’m stuck out here in the Mighty Midwest with no hope of attending Web 1.0. I’ll second the request for webcast/podcast/hijack-the-TV-channels-cast.

I will be in SF...

I will be in SF the week of Oct. 10th. PLEASE have it that week. The only night I can’t make it is Tuesday night the 11th. So that would leave the 10th, 12th, 13th, 14th. What are the chances?

And if you can't have...

And if you can’t have it the week of the 10th, how about having another one, you know, like a sequel?

For shame. 2005 and we still can’t write well formed HTML. It should be <BR/> not <BR>. C’mon people, do you leave the closing brackets off of your compiled code too?

It’s supposed to be 1998, Peter. Web 1.0, remember? :)

Oh, and I’ll definitely be there!

Oh, Merlin. I know I won’t be there. But, please… make a brother a name tag.

Netscape bugs, PUSH technology, web-safe gifs, sticky eyeballs, clicks to bricks….

Can i have a 15 ft high red gorilla as my company mascot/logo? Can I display it on a public street for 2 years after we go bust? Yes, yes you can.

Endless rounds of proactive meetings, and drunken recruiting parties, my wrist hurts from playing foosball, did you know he’s addicted to meth/coke/booze and sleeps in his office, yes the CEO he has no home. But hes a “genius” visionary…

I’ll arrive on my orange kozmo scooter, it’ll fly out the back of a webvan freezer truck and I’ll be handing out flooze to everyone…. yay!
