SO HAVE SOME FUN, and COME FOLLOW US at REBARCAMP:

Jeff - LOL~  I was hoping you'd be the guy to help me post this stuff! haha  Looking forward to seeing you. :-)

Cathy - thanks, we'll see how I do with all this technology stuff when I'm there live and all I have is my laptop, camera, flip video, and mp3 recorder.  Should be interestng, there's no stopping it now....   LOL~

Steve - these are some of the cooler toys if you ask me, they allow us to interact with the post from a mobile location, we'll see how it all works out. Thanks. :-)

Christina - I'm sure we'll be learning some really cool stuff at this event, I'm happy to share it with those of my friends who can't be there, or make it for one reason or another. Should be an interesting event, I hope ALL THE STUFF IN THIS POST WORKS. I'm getting ready to shut everything down and head out first thing in the morning. Hope you'll check back and keep me accountable. :-))

Jeremy - pack it up, and get your butt down there!!  NO EXCUSES!!  :-) 

Lisa - very excited to meet you...finally, as well.  Twitter from the cell has some great benefits, I'll show you a couple tricks when I see you.  Be safe, see ya there.

Amanda - boy are you in for a surprise!  Can't wait to meet you, when you come out of REBarCamp, you'll never make a comment like that again, you'll be the Queen of Social Media and technology....well, at least you'll be alot more educated for sure! LOL~

Terry - I just hope all this stuff works once I get there. (leaving in 6 hours for the airport)  I have never tried live TV feeds before, we'll cross our fingers and see what happens.  Thanks for checkin back with us evey so often.  Call me if you see anything CRAZY go up here that might not belong! LOL ~  :-O

Pat - if I didn't have to hit the hay right now, I'd leave you a BIG long response, but I need to get some rest for my flights tomorrow. Gotta tuck in kids, give wifey kisses, you know, all that stuff, so I gotta run now, but do check back and I'll be commenting and updating this a ton more over the next few days.  I'll be documenting as much as I can to share with everyone.  This post will take 3 days to build but I hope it will be one of my best "travel posts" ever!  Thanks, and keep in touch here ok? :-))

This is really going to be a Blast, Thank you to Michael Price for dinner and refreshments this evening. I love the t-shirts and will wear it proud at tomorrows event.  :-) More great stuff coming soon....

BTW - Rich didn't really wreck the car.....  I DID!!  haha  ROFLMAO!

Kristal - RE what? ReBlog? That's really funny, how can you Reblog a RebarCamp?  Was this post that unclear? Please don't answer that or give me any names... LOL!~

Christopher and Stephanie - I do hope you'll come back and check it us out. This really was a fantastic event.  Lots to share with ya'll. :-)

Pippa - yep, may need a ride. lol~  I think if we flip the car over, we may still make it in time to the event.  Good thing we have AA....I mean AAA. haha.  Hope you enjoyed the event, we sure enjoyed having you there.  It was really great to finally meet you in person. :-))

Stephanie - thanks so much for helping to put this all together, you are awesome.  We really had a great time and the Texas AR hospitality is incredible.  Congrats on your "green" successes, I look forward to following your posts to see how it all plays out.  You deserve the best!  Oh yeah, the car thing? Meineke says the car should be ready in time to get us back home, we'll just have Rich pay cash!  haha.  Thanks again for everything.  :-)

Amanda - it was great meeting you too. You are just as fun and crazy in person as you are on your Blog here!  :-O  Looking forward to your call on Monday! lol~

Russell - we had a great time and enjoyed meeting you and all the others at REBC.  I hope you came away with some useful tools and information to help your business and Blogging endeavors.  Looking forward to your posts and future contributions on AR, and hopefully we'll get to see you again at the NAR convention in Florida next month. :-)

I'm bummed that the last 3 videos I did of Rich teaching the 11 habits of effective Bloggers didn't come out that good. The video is fine but the audio is horrible, you can't even hear him.  So if you do click play on the "Utterli" widget in this post, I apologize for the last 3 of 18 that were added.  Everything else came out fairly decent.

I'm on the road yet again, got a 5 hour drive ahead, but will be back to post more and comment as soon as possible.  Thanks you guys for checking back here, I just added Debs link and a couple others at the bottom of the post, I also added a few photos to the slide show with Rich catching the Crab(s).  The biggest one he's ever caught!  :-)

Pippa - That secret door really got me good. I kekp seeing the sign (restrooms) and then could never find how to get to them....so I just held it! LOL  Thanks to Michael Price, I was finally able to find relief behind the secret door.  Too funny, had to video that onE.   HAHA  :-)

Crystal - it was great meeting you.  If any of the information shared at REBC was too much to grasp, feel free to contact me anytime and I'll  try to make it less overwhelming for you. You know where to find me. Glad you made it, hope to see you again soon. :-)

Pippa - I added the photos of Rich and "The Great Crab Capture" to the slide show above, I think he is going to be using one of them for his website, or outside Blog.  Rich is the "KING" of the Crabs.  :-)

Monika - we wish you and Jay could have been there, it was a really informative and fun event.  Rich and I were honored to be a part of it and ActiveRain was proud to sponsor an event like this. Hopefully we'll get to see you at the NAR conference in a few weeks.

Tell Jay I said hi. :-)

Amanda - you can call, but come Monday, I think it will all be announced on the AR feature board. Still hope you'll call anyway just to say hi. This next feature on AR will be one of the best features ever offered on ActiveRain. Sorry I couldn't let the cat out of the bag while we were there. Stay tuned....

Lisa - you are too funny, had you not helped us get to the event, you'd never have known about the new feature coming to AR next week. haha.  Thanks for all your hospitality and warm welcome, Rich and I had a blast meeting you.  Watch the feature's come Monday, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised...and happy I hope. :-)

Marchel - these REBarCamps have been successful in two major cities now and I have no doubt they will continue all across the country.  It was nice to finally meet you in person.  I'll take a look at your post and add a link to it here so others can access it as well.  I'm really glad you enjoyed the layout, and your time spent with us, we sure enjoyed having you there. Thank you. :-)

Judi - so sorry you couldn't make it to this one, there will be others, but hopefully I posted enough information here that you'll get an idea of what takes place at these REBarCamps. Be sure to check out the links I've added at the bottom of the post. I am updating it as more becomes available. Looking forward to meeting you sometime soon. Will you be joining us at the NAR convention in Florida? ActiveRain will be there in full force, and we have some great things planned and in store for our members and friends.  I hope you'll make it.  :-)

Jeremy - you obviously didn't hear, my iPhone got left behind!  DOH!! Yet another reason to NEVER LEAVE HOME without your iPhone!  LOL~

Sally - thanks, that's what I was hoping for.  This is one post that is packed with goodies and info for sure.  I'm surprised it even loads in any Browser!  LOL~  Thanks for checking it all out, hop to see you soon when I finally make it over there.  :-)

Claire, it was pretty funny, ActiveRich cracks me up, we do have a good time.  Did he tell you about the crab dinner?  He cracked my entire meal, and it was a BIG CRAB!  He is one heck of a guy, I owe him bigtime for that one.  :-)  Glad you liked the videos...
