• Trying to understand: is this an in-person meeting? I have no idea what “microTED” means or what a group interview would be. Just wondering what this is a pilot of.

• And if Jeruba can’t understand something, you know where that leaves me. Should I book a cross-contential flight?

• Is humor banned at the Salon too?

  13 years ago Thatoneguy

• Really? I’m kinda scared. What’s gonna happen?

• I want to go to a microTED 🙁
  You guys should move to the East coast.
  Right now. Thanks.

• I have not wished I still lived in So Cal any more than I do right now!

• Yes. This is in-person.

  @Jeruba http://www.ted.com/

  We’re getting a bunch of interesting people together, we have a panel of question-askers to ask them about their lives. You can come and just listen — no pressure.

  We’re working out the logistics of the event before we start throwing them all over the country.

  @Thatoneguy. You might want to take a look here before you post a comment.

• I am not even close to that time zone, what a pity. Will there be some kind of transcript/follow-up for us to read?

• HELL YES.

• Wait. Will there be beer?

  13 years ago nikipedia

• Oh, man. I think my employer should fly me out for this event. Just sayin’.

• You just couldn’t have waited liiiiiike… 5 months, could you 😛

• Are you going to film it, a la TED, so that those of us who live in flyover country can virtually experience it?

  13 years ago zephyr826

• Oh man. I wish you guys were doing this a day later!

  13 years ago Sarcasm

• We may film it — but right now it’s just seeing what works and what doesn’t work.

  13 years ago Andrew

• Yeaaaa…. I’ll be there!! Hopefully, so will WTF!

• I would have gone with more notice.

• I hitchhiked my way home from school today, about 4 miles.

  But I’m not ready to hitchhike 2,800 miles out to LA, so unless someone is giving me a lift, I won’t be able to make it. 🙁

• I’d love to attend and meet all this interesting people, I live in wisconsin so, if this turns out succesful maybe you guys should try doing it again, but closer

• Probably around the 10th annual, I will be able to attend.

• I have no idea what a “TED” is, but if this is some kind of market research preparatory to yet more changes… please, don’t. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. This is the only decent Q&A site left on the net. The cyberworld does not need another teeny-bopper friendly “McSite”,

• Wish I could be there. I’m too far away. Good luck.

• Maaan…..I wish I could go. Living halfway accross the country really isn’t good. I wonder if there’s something like this up here. hmm……

  13 years ago ChocolateReigns

• Oh what a great idea!!
  It’s a little short notice for me to fly out, but I’m smelling a NY event if this goes well. I’ve got a space…

  13 years ago breedmitch

• A salon without me? Impossible

  13 years ago Milo

• You should pick certain people “ahem” that are long term users that live on the east coast and fly them out. Some suggestions would be me, Gailcalled, Milo, Auggie, just to name a few.

• Oh, I am sooooo jealous.

  13 years ago YARNLADY

• Have a great time, everybody! Take pictures. I want to see Sherry and Gary together. Can’t wait to see the report!

  13 years ago Jeruba

• Milo here; I’m down with Chyna and Auggie, but leave Gail home. Who will do the housecleaning otherwise?

  13 years ago Milo

• Comeon people – it’s been a whole week, how about an update? Who was there – how did it work – I want to know.

  13 years ago YARNLADY

• Still No report? What’s up with that?
