Well the day of the Webhead Fiesta in San Antonio is here. I am about to dress and drive two hours into the heart of downtown San Antonio and the fringes of technology land. i will probably have less trouble finding downtown than exploring technology land. The account time has been purchased for our three laptops to connect to the internet via WiFi from Houston Street Bistro Restaurant, and I have confirmed our reservations with Radniq, the Romanian manager. I have made one last perusal of my webmail via my brothers PC and found that, sure enough, there have already been some problems with WiFi in the convention center. I hope all of those can be ironed out and that we don;t have the same issues tonight.
If you plan to join us virtually tonight, check the Webhead office at LearningTimes or TappedIn (Bea will be there to assist you) or look for [email protected] or Vance on Yahoo IM. We will try to be on all three. If Bob Zwick makes it to the meeting, he may set up a room in TalkingCommunities so you may want to continue to monitor this blog or we will make periodic announcements about it's URL while we are online tonight.
There is little more I can do to assure success tonight. At this point, it will either work and you can all join us or it won't work and at least 14 Webheads will have a great live meeting together. Either way, come back here often over the next several days, and you will find continued postings regarding the meeting and hopefully the entire TESOL San Antonio experience.
So until tonight...Howdy Ya'll
PS>I will be the one wearing the black cowboy hat in the webcams.
PPS. You can try to make audioblog postings by calling 214-231-2915 and using the Fiesta pin # 163172011. Then enter Blog number 1013#. The other instructions for audio posting will be given on the phone. Be aware that long distance phone charges will apply. Also, be sure to comment to the blog. I will be taking continued photos of tonights festivities and firing them off to the blog. There may not be any text print to speak of, but go ahead and make your comment based on the photos. I will try to add text to the photos over the next couple of days.
hello Bob,
Vance (and his cats I think) are still in the convention center, testing the LAN connection for tomorrow. We have seen part of a business meeting when in LT Elluminate, and then spoken to Buth and Jane, and Charles kelly.
I think they'll soon move over to your bistro :-)
