Inman NYC 2009

ICNY by Kim Wood

Sometimes.... it just takes words to bring you back to some fun memories:

When Harry Met Sally
Breakfast on the Roof?
Museums we pass
Flask
NYPD has words with someone in our party
Newlyweds at The Paramount
#A Group Tattoo
Glove Swapping
An extra subway stop
Penn Station Tears
Chocolate & Cards
Sugarcane
Broadway at 4am - all linked up
On the corner, "You're sexy"
Street Peddler walked side-by-side cause someone was "sweet to talk to everyone"
Black Bean Ice Cream
Daily Mug Shot Fan
Scavenger Hunting
Tastykakes
NYPD in action - cameras in hand - even possibly in a precarious spot
"My tongue is on FIRE"
Red Robe fashion
Pepsi bottle surprise
I want my $2.00 back!
Waking up with Pizza in her bed?
One stall = Three Girls
Jay's still thinking about it...
Tongue in cheek - I mean ear
#weirddesserts
Curly Hair in another pic? Where?
We didn't see Wall Street and we were right there?
Pool "Entertainment"
Girls in the Men's Room?

I'm sure I've missed a lot..... feel free to carry on.... :) THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES Y'ALL !! For those friendships bonded closer, for those I got to hug for the first time, for those I just connected with ..... yay!

Pizza Pizza.

Couch Potatoes.

WV Sandwich.

Wet myself until 11.

I'd like to see you walk down the streets of France with THAT! (360 camera)

But I think you got most of them. Def. brings back some memories.

The Eagles Suite

The letter of the day

Eating at the kids table

and

Don't forget to lick the window

I think you covered most of them-or it's just too early for me to think. This was my first time meeting anyone from the RE.net and it was an awesome week! Admittedly a little overwhelming, but severely wonderful anyway!!

Hi Kim! It looks like you had a blast! I'm glad. xxoo

Mad I missed out but enjoyed your photos. REALLY sorry I missed the party in someone's pants.

I woke up next to a pizza.
Hey cabbie, what's your name?
Oh dear God, it's 4 o'clock in the morning again.
F**k me! Could it get ANY colder?
I like anything with 'lumberjack' in it.
That really IS the Empire State Building!
I believe I'll have another cocktail.

It was SO great to see old friends, make new ones and finally meet some "IRL" I've know for awhile.

Hi Kim - Awesome meeting you at Inman. Each attendee has their own "Inman story" to tell.

Here are a few highlights I experienced:

Meeting all my RE Twitterbuds IRL!
The RE.Net social media community "rocks"
RE Bar Camps are awesome. When an RE Bar Camp is held near you everyone who can go should go!
Mojito Friends.com should have won the Biz Plan presentation! Congrats to the winners!
All aspects of Inman continue to improve. Great job Joel and Daniel!
Incredible father/son bonding time with @dakno (AKA Brad Carroll)
Great memories like meeting David Letterman cast member Biff Henderson at Rupert Gee's Hello Deli and finding out Biff is from Durham, NC!
The chance to hear and meet (with photo op) @garyvee
Meeting IRL Martin Bouma (@MartinBouma) and Stephanie Bell (@StephanieBell)
The opportunity to tour and shoot some killer pics of NYC (again w/Brad). Check them out at the Inman Group on Flickr.

There are so many more Inman memories but the brain is focused on all the "to do's" that have cluttered my Monday morning. Thanks for sharing yours!

I think that a great time was had by all, and I know that everyone who attended not only had fun, but learned a lot in the process. As great as Inman Connect NYC '09 was, I have a very strong feeling that Connect San Francisco '09 is going to be even BETTER.

Kim, looks like you and the gang had a great time! Great pics and intriguing word/memories...probably some funny stories there, hint hint...:)

Nice pictures Kim. I was following all the tweets and checking out all the flickr pictures. I wish I was with you all in NY.

I am so jealous...sounds like a GREAT time. So, tell me more about the Tattoos:)

"So, tell me more about the Tattoos"

Diane -- there's an old saying, "what happens in New York City, stays in New York City" or something to that effect... ;)

Yea Jay. I'd have a REAL tough time chosing between a lumberjack and a pizza, fo sure.

Tee hee.

JAN

I heard lots of folks got sick, of course you know CC was sick and when she go home, I got it. But, I'm the last in the family. What's your next convention. I going to Orlando in Feb to Family Reunion and then wil try to make blog world in Vegas in Oct.

Great collage. Thanks for sharing those pictures, but I'm a bit lost with many of the clues to fun memories.

Wow. Sounds like you had a great time. Thanks for sharing the photos and bits of memories.

Didn't make it over to the event, appears that I missed out on a lot of good information and fun times. Hopefully next year.

Looks like everyone had a great time, is Inman ever coming to Chicago? :)

I'm not quite sure what I missed, but it sounds like you had some great experiences. Thanks for the pics, Kim!

Kim... sorry that I really didn't get to meet you.... I saw you with Sarah, but things were just moving to quickly and not enough time. I just didn't have the time to come up for 3 days... and being sick didn't help any. Looks like you had a great time from all the pics that I have seen on flckr and such.... next time. I am also putting together an AR gathering together in Philly in the 2nd week of February. let me know... ps... these kinds of friendships and networking is awesome and great.

Kim - such fun. I'm hoping to get to one of these conventions this year. So many of you to meet!!

Hey Kim,

Looks like everyone had a great time. Sounds cold to me but I would guess everyone had enought anti-freeze.

Hey Kim - what fun that looks like it was, and I loved reading through all the 'memories' in these comments. I wish I could have been there with you all. What does "IRL" stand for anyway?

Ann

Ann - IRL = "In Real Life"

Kim, love what you did with the photos! It was fun following all the tweets. Hope to see you at one of these events in 2009!

What a great collage you put together. Looks like we all missed a great time!

I guess one of the best things about it was the combinbation of fun, information and resources. Sorry we missed you as it was only a limited time. In addition to the fun, it was our first time to be at an event like that so we really soaked up all the information : ) The people there were just awesome.

I would have loved to have made the trip... just wasn't in the cards this time. Looks like you guys had fun, though.

One day I'll get off this island :) :)

You can't wear tennis shoes in NYC, can you?

"I'll take a second breakfast on the 8th floor over breakfast on the roof anytime!"

Bathrobes & blankets on the rooftop...

Can I see your ID please?

That's all there is to it, I'm GOING!

RT: "I like anything with 'lumberjack' in it." (Considering I'm a "Humboldt Lumberjack" -- so do I!)

@ Jeff: send me the Philly info. Susan Mangigian is there, and so are a few other Tweet-peeps and blogging buddies, not to mention my Uncle William and a bunch of cousins. I may be able to pull that off. Will it be little minion friendly or shall I need a minion sitter? :-)

LOL@ C-Sally-C. Just don't leave the island when I'm there, okay? Seriously. Cindy and I have been talking about going and we are clueless (LMAO).

Ahhhh Kim, you've covered so much (LOL).Here's my two cents:

Rare eye candy.

Super sushi.

Love, laughter and hugs.

Makes the SF one seem real hum-drum....maybe because we live local & don't do the town afterwards...

I wish we could of been there! looks like FUN! I need a Break!

Looks like it was the blast I keep hearing it was. Thanks for sharing. Maybe next year. I'd love to get back to my hometown, the Big Apple.

OMG It looks like sooo much fun! Wish I had been there wish it would come closer to me. I will meet you all someday...I can't wait!

I just remembered another one! I can't believe we forgot about "Pie for dinner".

Looking forward to San Francisco! (Off topic PS -- The agents at my meeting were VERY enthused about the 2.0 stuff @BradHanks & I presented, so I'm sure I'll have several of them with me too! Thanks for your thoughts & support during that meeting.)

There is no way I'm missing the next one, sounds and looks like more fun than SF was

@Sarah Good ones!! It was awesome to build more memories with you :)

@Lori Pizza! All this food ... but like you said..... one night stand - bleh!

@Lisa THE EAGLES SUITE ROCKED!! But all in all, we sure weren't in there much! Kids table :(

@Susan Oh yeah! Always a fun time with those people up there in that picture!

@Susie So glad the photos helped a little. There are sure plenty of them on FB and Flickr!

@Jay EYES IN THE BACK OF SOMEONE'S HEAD...... Lucky Jay!

@Maria Get those city requests in !

@John You are quite welcome!

@Jeff Well, I did meet you fast, but had to grab Sarah for something :)
