Roll With The Rockstars contest – Party like a Rock Star at PubCon

Shoemoney asked to write about why you (or I) should win the contest that gets you a) PubCon in Las Vegas and b) into the parties that come with it. It seems like that started a Blog Party Bonanza and every online dude is showing off that he is great at partying. But is this contest really about the parties and how much drinks you can consume before you are brave to do something stupid in front of a camera? Everyone can drink alcohol and act like an idiot. It does not take much to do that, right.

So, what is different when webmasters and SEOs take the stage? Maybe they are just looking for a Guinea pig to make fun of afterwards. Instead of ordering a stripper or so they order a rookie for entertainment. Who knows? That ‘motivated’ rookie will try to impress as much as possible – that can make for some really good stunts.

Or maybe the difference is that the real value of PubCon is not at the conference, but at the parties afterwards. Think “Networking” and I think you hit the nail on the head. Whatever information is made public at PubCon – everyone knows it already. It’s what is not discussed in public that can make the difference between good or great. That is the content and knowledge to kill for. And as it is illegal to kill each other, the best way to keep that knowledge a secret is to drain it in a good old fashion way – party like a rock star. I am up for the challenge. Just need to win those darn tickets now.
