Base Camp 2008 !!!!!
-
I'm definitely throwing my hat in the ring. My boss said He'll pay if I get a golden ticket. Now that I have the clearance, with my luck I won't get one.
I was not able to attend in o5', so the thought of being able to go in 08' just makes me giddy!
As for suggestions, gee, I really don't know, I'm just exited for the opportunity.

There is a kind of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory excitement to all of this....
-
Hey guys!! I've been absent for the past weeks or so due to tons and tons of work, but I wanted to jump in and say that I'm psyched for the 3D Base Camp and can't wait to meet ya'll!!
It should seriously be fun! ...Kind of like the TED event for SketchUp!
In case you thought we weren't crazy (and so you can recognize us newer Sketchers) here's a few shots of the newer additions to the SketchUp cuckoo's nest! http://picasaweb.google.com/sketchupblog/NewIshMembersOfTheSketchUpTeam
See ya there!!
Cheers,
- CraigDP.S. ...and some of you pledged to buy me a beer (or two) if I remember correctly!
-
Oh -- and we are planning to have a band, but we're not sure who, yet. Anyone have any suggestions? We're thinking something between CraigD with an iPod, and U2...

I like that -- that's one of my all-time favorite books. It's a good thing we aren't making anyone buy 6,000 chocolate bars to have a shot at coming, though.

I'll buy you a beer Craig! And you know, I would have never thought, in a million years, to pose like you did for that picture. (not that I could!)

Wow, I would love to be in invited! This would be sooo awesome! Count me in!
If I don't get invited, maybe I'll just crash...

If you wanted to really freak us out, all you Googlers should turn up at the opening ceremony dressed like Oompa-Loompas and speaking in rhyme. I know that I would probably just collapse to the floor and start gibbering...
Someone will have to play Wonka, of course. Got anyone on staff who is tall, thin, and slightly creepy in a tophat?

Just find out who is currently deejaying at Club Technochocolate, and get them to moonlight at the Googleplex.

deejay/genius at the end of the room surrounded by holograph projectors and keyboards, remixing Autechre and NIN instrumentals...

If only the droves of unwashed SUers had such 'generative' taste...
There should be a dedicated YouTube account for this as well so we can all get in on the action.

That's fantastic, Chris. Do you mind if I quote you on the 3DBC micro-website we're building? I'm not sure where it will appear, but it's too good to leave out : )
-
Sure, feel free to quote anything you'd like that won't get me thrown into jail

Hi folks,

Sorry it took us all day to get the site up -- it was a launch, two newsletters and a blog post, and we wanted to make sure we didn't mess anything up. In our defense, it's still before midnight in Boulder
I think CraigD is going to elaborate some more in this thread, but please let me know what you think!
