Affiliate Summit East Writeup – Boston ’08
So here’s the "Rob Writeup" of Affiliate Summit East in Boston, MA.
I flew in around 11 PM on the Friday before. Flight wasn’t too bad, I got the traditional "only $49 to upgrade!" and took it for a very nice first class ride into Boston. Walking into the Westin, I actually saw Aden and Jon (AdensBlog.com ) out front – and of course – Aden was "having a good time" *cough* SMASHED *cough*. Due to getting in so late, SlightlyShadySEO and I walked around the streets for a little bit until we finally hit the room around 2 AM.
Saturday was the day that everything really started. Around 10:15 to 10:30 some of my family stopped by to have some breakfast with me and, to my surprise, I got a free t-shirt promoting my cousins band (will take a picture after it gets out of the wash). Starting at about 1 PM I had to be on call for one of my jobs, until about 5:30 – however thanks to Aquasis Media I was able to be on call from their $3000/night Ambassador suite at the top of the Westin (can you say TV in the mirror in the bathroom).
We head out around 6:30 or so to Lucia’s over in the North End of Boston for dinner. The lasangna was AMAZING, and of course – because they’re awesome – Aquasis foot the bill 100%. We got back to the hotel probably around 8 PM and then the real fun started. We tried going over to the buy.at party, stayed about … long enough to get a free drink, then bounced. Heading back to the hotel we stopped off at the bar in the seaport, and I briefly met up with a few people from a group including Conceptual. Later that evening, we had about 30-40 people in the Ambassador suite for a party (once again.. Aquasis foot the bill) that included 2 handles of Grey Goose, about 100 oz of Redbull and plenty of other mixers.
Sunday comes around, and we all hit the exhibit hall to take a peek around. First, CPA Empire’s Brittany met me for lunch at the Westin (SlightlyShady joined us as well) and we had a little food before heading over to the Meet Market. Once there, it wasn’t too hard to spot a lot of people from Wicked Fire. All I had to do was look towards the COPEAC booth at people flying their rockets over the wall into people’s heads.
