Still planning to go to LeWeb3 07 ( as some of my readers know, I was invited to cover LeWeb3 07 in Paris next month - actually, I thought if it was good enough for Jason Calacanis, it was good enough for me - or, to put it another way, if he can go, why can't I - I have at least as much to say about Social Media as he does - and more substance with it - but then I'm not an Internet Millionaire - like he is - I can just manage to pay my rent).

Because my finances have been tight, with less freelance work than I'd like (and less time for it too) lately - I wondered if it's really worth flying all the way to Paris for a couple of days but not even having much, if any time to view Art (which is the main reason I go to Paris - in absorb Art energies that I feel connected to - as if I lived there in the past).

But it's interesting to me what a couple of online videos could do - like this one done in September that talks about the new LeWeb 03; I  watched a few videos on my iPod Touch in a cafe not far from where I live - and I thought - here I am, in the middle of it all - how can I not be part of it?   

Decided I'd see what was recorded on YouTube on LeWeb3 so I could make some kind of evaluation on what I'd experience when I went or what I'd miss, if I didn't go.

Based on seeing videos like the one above, I feel much more comfortable making the decision to go.

And the sounds like I can't really miss the party - the LeWeb3 07 party - I guess the French know how to really "entertain".  Hmm…..well, this is the kind of parties I like to go - we have wild parties in New York - but usually, not at conferences (well, maybe after the conferences…). 

Ok, now I know why Jason Calacanis wanted to go to LeWeb 3.  On the other hand, I've wondered what I'll promote at LeWeb 3. I certainly could connect with a lot of Europeans, mostly, but to what end?  Perhaps just to have a good time, though if anyone has ideas why it's important for be at LeWeb3, or what they'd like me to communicate, let me know.

So, let's hope I do manage to make it (and perhaps, Sebastian Wenzel at Webanalyticsbook.com will come along, as he's been invited as well); I, for one, don't want to miss this conference all the parties, especially the parties.
