As I mentioned yesterday, I was planning to attend the first-ever RE BAR camp to be held today in Philadelphia. Well, Brian Schulman and I made it through the morning traffic on the Schuykill Expressway and had a GREAT day sitting in with some excellent teachers and more excellent networkers at the offices of the Greater Philadelphia Association of Realtors.

Here's some images I snapped of the day:

As a highlight I also got to meet in person some favorite Blog friends Patricia Kennedy, Teresa Boardman, Audrey Forshey, Jeff Turner, Brad Carroll, Margaret Woda and many other new connections I hope to stay in touch with.

Thanks To Kim Wood, John Lauber and all the team that organized this event! It was really wonderful.

'Had a great time, too, and it was wonderful to meet so many people. It's always fun to put a name and face together in real life - especially when you feel like you know them.

I just went back and watched your show - that was terrific! It really told the story of the day. I was very bad about taking photos... 'just hope there are enough on Flickr that I can print out a few for my album!

Jeff - It was a great time indeed ! Sorry I did not get a chance to speak with you one-on-one but was in many of the same sessions as you were based on your photos. BTW, that was a great photo shoot in the blog. You captured some great moments ! Is a cool spot on the river too. Stephanie and I only live about a mile from there so we pretty much had to go ! It was quite rewarding and information packed ! ~ Chris

Jeff: Well done! Nice pic's and thanks for sharing the REBarCamp with us. I was at the Seattle event and it was a blast. I kinda feel homesick everytime I hear about the next one, wishing I could be there!

Thanks again...
