Very informal. Everyone had some great stories and most importantly getting published. It was very cool.</p>Thom AllenSat, 17 Nov 2007 11:01:15 -0000http://www.digitalthom.com/2007/11/16/attended-my-first-kencon-tonight/#comment-3495788<p>Sounds like it was a great meetup. Nothing motivates you like meeting people already successfully doing what you dream of doing. I know some people can find that discouraging, and maybe in the past I did too, but of late I've come around to thinking that you need to be surrounded by successful people if you want to be successful. There's an infectious synergy to be gained by hanging with doers instead of dreamers.</p><p>~Douglas<br>-=-<br>☆ <a href="http://thesplinteredmind.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://thesplinteredmind.blogspot.com">The Splintered Mind</a> - Overcoming Neurological Disabilities With Lots Of Humor And Attitude</p>Douglas CooteySat, 17 Nov 2007 04:54:51 -0000
