WebZine 1.5

WebZine starts later than any conference I've been to (aside from MacHack, which boasted a midnight opening keynote as a stunt). Each day began at noon.

This was explained when the WebZine party began at 10 (which was 1am according to my jet lag) and was only beginning to cook when I left at 2am. It was a very good party, of course: these are the cool kids, and they know how to do this stuff. Lots of fun video, cool lighting. Kegs of Guinness, mixed drinks as well. Not too quiet, not too loud. And just enough oddity to keep things interesting. (The shrink-wrapped young woman was a fashion statement)

Some great discussions on cooking, games, new media journalism, and (of course) web zines.
