I’m still recovering…

Yes it’s Tuesday and I’m only just getting round to updating my blog after THE affiliate event of the year!  I won’t do a complete dissection of the A4UExpo as loads of others have already done so but I just wanted to say a couple of things about it…

  • A huge thank you to Kieron  - your car is lovely (yes even in white) and the heated seats more than helped the 7 hour journey!  Damn those maltesers eh….  I wish you could have seen the other drivers faces!  The tunes were far better than expected but I’m still not an R’n'B fan despite his best efforts - it’s all about the indie Kieron.
  • A huge thanks to Claire and Matt (and their team) at Existem - the whole event was perfectly organised - it more than met expectations and everyone I’ve spoken to had a great time, and it certainly beat the Affiliate Summit in September….
  • Thanks to the lovely Garry Hamilton for making the night turn slightly bleary-eyed with Tequila just after 11pm on Wednesday!  And to Kevin Edwards at Affiliate Window the following evening for doing the same thing - despite my best efforts to palm them off to a fellow Scot I was caught in action and made to drink another one
  • I can’t go any further without mentioning my fellow founders of facelingerie.co.uk - Tara and Mark from UK Web Media - we are definitely onto something here!  I have a few pictures which I’m sure we will be using for the launch of the site soon…
  • Thanks to Simon Lewis for coming all the way to the Expo just to see us and Ramada Jarvis - the journey was appreciated and as ever it was great to catch up.
  • Congrats to Affiliate Window on their awards - all two of them!  And thanks for letting me in on the celebrations with the champers :) 
  • The end of Thursday led me to recruit 4 new body guards - guys it was much appreciated!  Warrick Lambert and Laura Przybek from Buy.at, Rob Berrisford of CKNet and Frostie are a team to be reckoned with.
  • Poor Colin - not only did we manage to lose each other on Friday, but he had the dubious honour of sitting in the airport with me for over 2 hours while good old BA delayed our flight… with no reason…

And Tara - we managed to share a room without any serious mishaps!  Although the spooning thing in the middle of the night was kinda weird…..

Great event - can’t wait til next year!  Got some time to recover before the Buy.at Christmas Cracker thank the lord.
