New REBarcamp Logos in the files section. rebarcamp_08_new.zip has a .png .jpg and .ai version. ~MP the png and jpg are at 150 dpi, if you need higher res just ping me @mlbroadcast on twitter or mprice (at) mlbroadcast.com
!
Inman's SF Connect takes place right after RE Bar Camp -- how convenient!
Final Version of Logo above, download Hi-Res Files from the file archive. Below is a blog/sidebar badge. I think it would be best for everyone to link to the new blog at http://www.rebarcamp.com any thoughts on this?
In addition, please note that I certainly didn't set the blog up as "my blog". Anyone who wants to blog there is completely welcome. I think it would be great, especially for events that lead up to RE Bar Camp & Inman Connect. Much of that content ended up on Active Rain last summer. I think it would be great to make the blog a home base for that stuff this year. Also, I was totally lucky that the template I was playing with for Blog Fiesta worked right out of the box with Mike's logo. Awesome logo Mike! -- Todd
--O.K. I uploaded a file called barcamp.zip to the files directory, it has a barcamp.png, barcamp.psd and barcamp.ai (adobe illustrator) file in the archive. I will upload some blog and web badges for everyone to use later today. ` Mike

Had enough of the anecdotal evidence and conventional wisdom on the results real estate professionals are producing in their blogging efforts? Get to the bottom of what agents and brokers are really doing and finding effective in this session ripped from the pages of the Center for Real Estate & Social Technologies' (CREST) real estate blogging survey. During this talk, you'll:
1. get a sneak peek at the first CREST survey results
2. discover how the survey results fit into your context
3. have the opportunity to ask questions of the survey authors, and
4. discuss the findings with your fellow real estate bloggers. -- Danilo Bogdanovic & Ben Martin

What else? -- Todd
Non-tech
I talked with the events coordinator at the Swedish American Hall/Cafe Du Nord tonight. The have availablility with 3 different rooms to choose from depending on the size of our group. Can we speculate this number yet? The great thing about the Hall is that we can also do a piggy-back option and take over the bar - Cafe Du Nord - afterwords for a party with drinks and appetizers from 5:30-8:00. At 8:30, they open to the public with live music. Cost for the day runs $1,000 - $2,500 depending on our needs. At the $1,000 level we are looking at a room that would seat 50-75 and the $2,500 option would be the "Ballroom" which I understand we would need at least 100 people. The ballroom is 2 floors with extra rooms that we could use for break-out sessions. If this sounds like an option, I think we arrange to go by and take a look. - Brad
Update 5/7 Done deal -- It's going down at the SAH.

Snacks
Tables and chairs
After Party - How the F did we forget the after party? Brad, Ginger, any input? I have DJ friends who would prob be down to spin at any party we throw. Recommended locations: The Public
