Mike, would love to come to this event next week. I’ve long been a fan of Netvibes and web widgets, and am really interested to see the move of web widgets to the desktop as mentioned by Yahoo: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/yahoo_to_take_web_widgets_to_the_desktop.php
I’m sure it will be a great day.

Mike - wow, what a challenge!
How about this - running my own business, doing almost every function myself (strategy, product design, testing, project management, marketing etc), embarking on the search for funding, etc… means I have no money or time for a proper holiday for the foreseeable future.
A ticket to this event pretty much would constitute my holiday plans for the next year - so think what a glorious boon you will be granting me to breathe sea breeze and get out of London for a day!
Sounds like a really interesting event too

As well as Brighton being an amazingly open and welcoming place, the people I’ve met from the tech scene have all been legendary. It’s going to be a pleasure coming down for the after party, but a ticket to the main event would transcend splendidness!
