You know when we were kids, we use to get together, bring our bags of Legos and toys, pile them up and build cities together. We did that because none of us had all the bricks necessary to build a city - so we learned to collaborate.
The Tazzu Wordcamp event felt like that. We all came together with our toys, tips, and financial contributions to connect with each other. Yes, the venue was a little small (sorry!) and we couldn’t feel our bums and legs when we got up from sitting on those hardwood floors, but boy the number of inspiring emails, twitts, facebook messages, and inspiring words that we received from the Vancouver’s blogging community was simply amazing. The reality is that, this event couldn’t have been nearly as fun without your participation and contributions. By the way, based on different counts around 80 to 90 people attended this event.
To all the people who attended this event: THANK YOU! YOU GUYS ROCKED!
