APSE conference in SLC

[Idaho]

and your original jokes :p

 

[Fran Curci]

I have to think this will be the smallest convention gathering ever.

 

[MileHigh]

Maybe. Last year was very lightly attended.

If you need directions to the nearest and/or best golf courses let me know.

Also, if anyone wants to go for a bike ride between sessions ...

Your bike rides will last the whole time between sessions...

That never gets old ... I hate I can't work SLC into the schedule, though, as we had a fine time there in 2002.

I hear the number is somewhere around 65 people this year

Yikes.

Probably all staffers from the SL Tribune, Deseret News, Provo Daily Herald, Ogden Standard Examiner and Logan Herald Journal

 

[Riddick]

After last year, I figured those numbers were pretty good. Wasn't last year like 48 or something

Must be this item that's packing in the extra attendees:

Red Smith Award Luncheon
Recipient: Mitch Albom, Detroit Free Press

i heard the number was 90-plus.

Whoever quoted the 65 is woefully off.....the number is a lot more than that.....and yes, Idaho, people from out of town are attending....

Imagine that

Just got this tweet, which kind of sums up a lot of things about the state of the business these days:

Shribman at #APSE: Content sharing is an imparitive. It's a way to help us have expertise in our papers in areas we can't be at.

You did hear my head explode, right?

I've heard this was a fantastic time. Good on Salt Lake for being the first mid-major city to host and for doing it in such fine fashion.

 

[MileHigh]

Been some other mid-major cities that have hosted.
