We now have over 150 people registered for PodcasterCon! Check out the People Who’ve Registered page on the PodcasterCon wiki. If you’re one of the people who’ve registered add some info about yourself. Yeah! 
When we first started talking about creating PodcasterCon we recorded some of our discussions. I put them into our podcast feed right away. A week or so ago I recorded a podcast to give an update. After PodcasterCon we should have LOTS of audio recordings of sessions, discussions, interviews, fun, etc. It’s a rather neat way to document the whole process I think. Hopefully we’ll fill in the blanks better as time moves on. [BTW… I fixed the link on the PodcasterCon front page. The Podcast Feed link goes to the RSS feed for the category ‘Podcast’. http://www.podcastercon.org/blog/category/Podcast/feed/]

I reserved a van last night. It’s purpose is to help you get to PodcasterCon. Especially if you are coming from out of town via airplane, train, or bus. Please contact me and let me know if you’ll need a ride. (info (at) podcastercon (dot) org) I took Friday January 6 off from work. So if you’re coming into town that day let me know.
Here is the email I sent to everyone who was registered as of yesterday evening and from out of the state. We will do our best to accommodate everyone.

PodcasterCon will now start at 9:30 am. Coffee and snacks will be available at 9 am. Also the main event will end at 6 pm.
