Scoble can talk what he wants about PR spam, but he’s certainly not afraid of it himself. During the Thursday meetup he opened up some boxes and started giving away… Channel 9 mascottes! See this (slighty munged) one from Jaco Boetter, for example.
And it got worse: the following two days the mascottes were “conveniently” placed next to the t-shirts. Nice one, Robert.
When we arrived at the conference venue we were given name tags and we could pick up a yellow Reboot 7.0 t-shirt. There really were loads of them, so many that on Saturday there were still t-shirts left.
So, I picked up another one. It really was too bad though that on Sunday morning I found out that the t-shirt I picked up… was the wrong size. Way too large for me, actually. I did put it in my bag though (of course I did!) and Anne and I headed out for the Sunday brunch meetup.
After brunch a small group headed into town: Ben Cerveny, Nicole Simon, Laurent Haug, Raymond Kristiansen, Martin Röll and one guy who works for the London Times (sorry, it’s been a while…). And also, of course, Doc Searls.
Doc Searls, who didn’t plan to go into town at all. Who was planning to spend the day in his hotel. Who was wearing only a t-shirt, on this cold Scandinavian day.
Well, you can guess… my extra, way too big Reboot t-shirt ended up keeping Doc warm. And, well, he told me I’d get it back, which I haven’t, but I don’t really mind. It was too big for me anway.

Hi from Admiral Gjeddes Gaard in Copenhagen… I’m using one guys PowerBook now, which is really nice, though it requires some getting used to (even worse, it’s got a German kezboard!). Anyway we had a really nice evening here, and a good trip too. Tomorrow’s the real thing, I’ll try to hijack a laptop then as well. Bye!
