Webstock Auction Won!

I'd like to formally announce that I will be the first ticket holder of the highly anticipated and exciting Webstock conference  that will be held in Wellington, NZ in May 2006! It was an intense 2 minutes as I bid head-to-head (or click-to-click?) on TradeMe's auction this morning for the first ticket (not yet sold to the general public) + an exclusive "Dinner with the Stars". These stars include many of the biggest names in the Web World who are lined up to speak, such as: Joel Spolsky, Kathy Sierra, Ben Goodger, Kelly Goto, Doug Bowman, Steve Champeon, Dori Smith, Darren Fittler, Andreas Gigardet, Joe Clark, NZ's own Rowan Simpson from Trade Me, web writing guru Rachel McAlpine, and PublicAddress mastermind, Russell Brown. That line-up right there is enough reason to attend.

I think it's pretty exciting stuff. As a newbie to blogging and an aspiring creative in applying intelligence, creativity, innovation and design to my professional work, I'm really looking forward to learning about what these professionals have to say and show us. I'm especially looking forward to meeting them in person. It's still 6 months away, but I'll take this opportunity to also be the first to welcome them to New Zealand!
