Real Estate BarCamp Houston - Sharing Business & Technology Knowledge
Disclaimer: I don’t normally drop press releases for events that I am not directly involved with, but for this one I needed to make an exception for 2 reasons. First of all, I want to be there, and be involved, but I just can’t swing it. I will have just gotten back from a trip to Bermuda for the Christie’s Great Estates Global Conference where I will be speaking with Dustin Luther and Marc Davidson. And secondly, my favorite Real Estate Blogging event so far this year was the first-ever REBarCamp in SF. Sure it was followed up with a Beer-With-Bloggers… but seriously, it was an amazing event that I was thrilled to be a part of. So, Mike Prices’s request to drop this announcement was an easy one to fulfill.
Houston, October, 1, 2008

Jim: Too bad that you don't have an opportunity to attend. I will be attending and it would have been great to meet you in person. Bermuda sounds like a great location for a conference. Enjoy!

It was a remarkable day! My head is spinning from all I learned. Only wish you would've been there; we would have gained a great deal of knowledge from you. I'm glad I'm a Tomato blogger. Best regards, Julie

What do you mean by tomato blogger...
Posted by: Smith | Oct 30, 2008 6:17:45 AM
Smith-
Tomato Blogger is just a name that we sometimes use for clients of the Real Estate Tomato. They are all real estate bloggers, using a Tomato Blog (Customized WordPress), so therefore: tomato blogger.
