My Top 10 Things To Do Before the M3 Summit

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

In just under two weeks I’ll be getting up really, really early on a Friday morning to drive down to Atlanta (sorry, no swagger wagon on this trip) for the Modern Media Man Summit. Despite my real life introverted nature I’m looking forward to meeting a group of dads who I’ve come to know through their blogs. I’m also looking forward to finally getting a chance to hear fellow Bentley alum C.C. Chapman speak.

Since I’ve been part of the blogging world I’ve seen all kinds of pre-conference planning and prep posts, so in the spirit of having a little fun, here are the top 10 things I need to do before the M3 Summit.

Lose five pounds so I can fit into my skinny khakis
Coordinate with my Twitter BFF’s Ron and John to make sure we don’t wear the same thing
Pack (a toothbrush. razor and an extra shirt or two should do it)
Remember to include pants, living in the south I only really ever wear them to church
Grab snacks for drive (standard college issue kit of mountain dew and twizzlers no longer tolerated by pancreas)
Make the family meals for whilst I’m gone (alpha women are not to be trifled with)
Order business cards (oh, wait, I already did that. Yeah, I’m THAT guy)
Find a bag big enough to bring home all the swag (will a Camaro fit in a duffle?)
Make a list of the VIP parties that would be cool to have next year (a lounge sponsored by Macallan perhaps?)
Clean out my reader so I can be honest when I tell someone I’ve read their latest posts*

* I have a valid excuse, it’s called 10 pounds of sleep deprivation.

We have to pack pants! Damn, that’s not usually part of my SAHD uniform at all.

I look forward to meeting you. Isn’t friday always a Pant’s optional day?

I’m very excited I was able to rearrange some things to get down there. I’ve wanted to see you speak forever and we’ve have to grab a beer or two

Same here. As a SAHD every day is pants optional

No doubt, neither is the razor.

I am totally bummed that I am not going to M3. There are so many people, including yourself, that I want to meet and hang out with.

I sure wish I could make it. I’d love to meet all you guys in person. Next time! Have fun, PJ.

HA! Maybe that’s what they can call it next year “The Pantless Conference”

Hopefully this will be a big success and they’ll have it again next year. It would be nice to finally meet you.

Thanks, Keith. Hopefully it’ll be even bigger next year where we can all go and meet up.
