Proper netiquette????

Ha. I like these funny phrases. Nice subtle plug for "Elements For Life," by the way. You're right: you should be able to mention it by saying that you want to mention it.

I'm thinking about going on Friday and Saturday. I haven't booked anything yet so I'm concerned about lodging.

I might have room in my hotel room for 1 person but I won't know until I get there. Someone e-mailed me but they had 2 people and that is more than will fit. If you are interested e-mail me, my e-mail is rawbryan@gmail.com it is not @bryanau.com

some detail from Seth Godins blog:
The first law of mass media

Organizations will work tirelessly to de-personalize every communication medium they encounter.

Radio ads used to be live, personal and spoken by an individual.
TV ads used to feature actual people, demonstrating something, usually live.
Phone calls involved a live speaker, talking, with permission, to another person.
Email used to be honest interactions between consenting adults.
Facebook pages (and Wikipedia, too) were built by people, not staffs.
Twits came from real people, and so did instant messages.

One by one, the mass marketers have insisted on robocalling, spamming, jingling and lying their way into our lives. The pronoun morphs from "you" to "me" to "us" to "the corporation" ...

The public works tirelessly to flee to actual interactions between real people, and our organizations work even more diligently (and with more leverage) to corporatize and anonymize the interactions.

The irony, of course, is that an organization with guts can go in the opposite direction and win.

My name is Seth Godin and I approved this message.

I wish I was going. I considered it for a while and thought of it as a lovely holiday... Is anyone from UK planning/thinking about going?

Oh I wish! I'm on the other side of the world so it's a long way to go but I'm saving up to be there next year.

I need to be persuaded :) I'd be skipping class Friday, flying in from Denver and hotels are an issue. . . it's a lot of money, a big investment. So I'm wondering what I'd get from Raw Spirit (though I REALLY want to check it out) that I couldn't learn from the community here.

By all means gather my brain up and smush it into a new shape!!! :)

well :)
there´s a huge difference between connecting with people LIVE than virtually :)
you will see many raw smiles that will stay with you forever :)
:):):):)
This is my favourite site ever, but I love PEOPLE :)
And 5. 000 raw people together sounds like a party to me :)
I´m flying all the way from Spain to represent my country, like I did last year :)
I´ve been waiting for this event for months :)
I wish you the decision for your highest good, but in these days it´s time to get together and get activated for the planet for everybody else on earth :)
It´s the ripple effect :)
Peace :)
