Yesterday afternoon I decided to drive up to King of Prussia for the Search Marketing get together hosted by Li Evans. I actually managed to time it fairly well, leaving at 2.15 and arriving at 6.15 (stupidly I’d left my cell phone at home, so rather than leaving from work as planned, I ended up leaving 35 miles further to the west, not a good thing when you’re heading north east.

The company for the evening was very nice, with Li, Chris Boggs, Kim Krause Berg, Bill Slawski, along with others from Commerce 360i and Avenue Razorfish whose names I can’t recall (sorry). The conversation was good, and covered a variety of topics, mostly on Search Marketing (I did also hear the big news that Li has said she’ll break, probably today). Was the 360 mile round trip worth it? I’d say yes. I don’t think I’ll be a regular visitor to the Philly meetings, but the timing was right, and I had a place to stay in the area, so it worked out nicely.

Thanks again to Li for putting the whole thing together. Now she promises to post about the VA SEM group, and I promised to actually set a date for the first meeting. So stay tuned…
