10 favorite quotes about BarCamp Nashville
August 22nd, 2007 by Dave
This past Saturday, members of Nashville’s New Media community gathered at the Exit/In for 12 hours of speaker sessions, networking, drinking, and fun (presented in part by Emma). I could write a long summary, but I think breaking it down to the best quotes is the way to go. So, without further ado, here are our top ten favorite quotes about BarCamp Nashville (in no specific order):
1. “Barcamp Nashville is a bunch of folk guitarists that tend bar on the side who are going to sleep under the stars in their $300,000 RVs and sing cowboy songs around the propane log fire.” - Going Like 60
2. “The entire day had the trappings of a Nashville entertainment event right down to the venue. Each city’s barcamp needs to have its own flavor. And there was an unmistakable Nash-Vegas flavor at this one.” - Shotgun Concepts
3. “I really only caught the beginning and end, because, let’s face it - I have other things I’d rather do on a Saturday than hang out with a bunch of web nerds.” - Selling Albums in a Singles World
4. “I’d love to have my product on Oprah. I’m working on that now.” - Viva La Lesley
5. “A great coming together of minds and ideas.” - Super Wonder Bang
6. “Learned some cool stuff about Google… more than I probably wanted to know, but I’ll be sure taking advantage of Google a bit more.” - Gavoweb
7. “Good Stuff - Good People - Right here in Nashville!” - WonderDawg
8. “Man it is hot in here…” - Brian Bruijn
9. “The BarCamp Nashville conversation needs to continue into the afterlife of BarCamp.” - Music City Bloggers
10. “It just goes to show that for all the progress and connectivity of ‘web 2.0′ — people still want a personal connection.” - Shotgun Concepts
