Quick Quips from the Publishing Executive Conference

From the virtual world to the real world. I was thrilled to meet up with ace media salesman and blogger Josh Gordon. Totally unexpected and unplanned to bump into someone whom you love to read. Very cool.

From the virtual world to the real world, Part II. I’m talking to a nice woman and can’t figure out where I know her from. And then it hits me: I’m a big fan of the magazine she’s the editor of. Very cool to meet Ginger from 1to1. 

Hey, I read you, too. Got to trade cards with John Parsons, another man with wicked edit skills. 

And finally, the man-your-arms-must-be-tired award. During Pub Expo, we also had another team down in the Big Easy, sponsoring the Custom Publishing Council’s first show. That show was launched with the help of Joe Pulizzi, the wiz behind the curtain at Junta42. So I was shocked to see Junta Joe bounding up to our booth in NYC just as we were ready to go home on Tuesday. This guy did the CPC on Sunday and Monday and flew up to speak at Pub Exec on Tuesday. Now that, my friends, is a hustler.*

*Before I forget, Jeremy Greenfield posted his review of the CPC show. Aside from the fact that Jeremy makes no mention of sponsors, it’s a good review.
