And Then, This One Time, at BarCamp…

Remember the BlogWorld and NewMedia Expo in Vegas I told you about?  And you know Ivy’s favorite “Dancing with the Stars” blogger?

Well, they’re coming together like my chocolate in your peanut butter!

That’s right Mark Cuban owner of the Dallas Mavericks, billionaire entrepreneur, founder of HDNet, and author of the popular Blog Maverick blog will be giving the closing keynote at BlogWorld & New Media Expo.

We hope you are as excited as we are to hear from one of the most influential bloggers in the world.

Nashvillagers remember that Cuban was one of the rumored investors in the Predators before the local group came together to…well, do nothing.  But at least they’re trying.

I think it’s great that somebody that does more than stand on his pile of money so he can look down on us is willing to participate in  something as egalitarian as an event designed to tear down the traditional barriers of public discourse and open the media to all of us.

Power to the people, right on!

Holy crap, now I really need to go to the Blog Expo thingy. I am a huge Mark Cuban fan, now that I know who the hell he is.

Or, he’s trying to figure out how to be the first person to make a buck on it.

thanks for the post and the links CC. we are pretty stoked to have Mark there.

The other keynoters aren’t slouches either. Technorati’s new CEO, Matt Mullenweg founder of WordPress, Leo Laporte the grand poobah of podcasting.

one week away!
