Inman has launched it's SF Connect web site with early bird pricing. Here's the link.

Final Version of Logo above, download Hi-Res Files from the file archive. Below is a blog/sidebar badge. I think it would be best for everyone to link to the new blog at http://www.rebarcamp.com any thoughts on this?
In addition, please note that I certainly didn't set the blog up as "my blog". Anyone who wants to blog there is completely welcome. I think it would be great, especially for events that lead up to RE Bar Camp & Inman Connect. Much of that content ended up on Active Rain last summer. I think it would be great to make the blog a home base for that stuff this year. Also, I was totally lucky that the template I was playing with for Blog Fiesta worked right out of the box with Mike's logo. Awesome logo Mike! -- Todd
--O.K. I uploaded a file called barcamp.zip to the files directory, it has a barcamp.png, barcamp.psd and barcamp.ai (adobe illustrator) file in the archive. I will upload some blog and web badges for everyone to use later today. ` Mike
BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees.

(This is the day before Inman ConnectSF, come a day early!)
Our blog is up and running - REBarCamp.com I set up an RSVP page for folks who are planning to attend. You can also add yourself to the attending list here on the wiki.

What else? -- Todd
**Non-tech**
Location - I'm going to talk to the owners of Sandbox Suites to see what our options are there. - Andy
How close is that to the Palace? It was nice to be able to fly in, take the BART to my hotel, and walk two blocks to the Inman event. - Todd
It's just a couple of BART stops, or a quick cab ride away -Andy
Update 1/30- Brad Coy and I talked to the owners of Sandbox Suites and got a tenative go ahead and with the understanding that they will be able to fully commit by late next month. Cost is estimated to be in the 350-500 range for the entire day. - Andy
Update 3/14 Sounds like the Sanbox Suites might not be available. Looking into other options and trying to keep it close to the Palace and Bart.
I talked with the events coordinator at the Swedish American Hall/Cafe Du Nord tonight. The have availablility with 3 different rooms to choose from depending on the size of our group. Can we speculate this number yet? The great thing about the Hall is that we can also do a piggy-back option and take over the bar - Cafe Du Nord - afterwords for a party with drinks and appetizers from 5:30-8:00. At 8:30, they open to the public with live music. Cost for the day runs $1,000 - $2,500 depending on our needs. At the $1,000 level we are looking at a room that would seat 50-75 and the $2,500 option would be the "Ballroom" which I understand we would need at least 100 people. The ballroom is 2 floors with extra rooms that we could use for break-out sessions. If this sounds like an option, I think we arrange to go by and take a look. - Brad
Update 5/7 Done deal -- It's going down at the SAH.
