I was pretty psyched up to attend BIO 2006 but it’s not looking good. I need a sponsor and none has been forthcoming. This would be one awesome event to blog. I proposed it to BIO but never even received an acknowledgement of my emailed proposal. However, I am credentialed. It’s not too late if anyone would like to have this huge event properly blogged.

In the last 3 days I’ve received 36 emailed press releases and announcements from I don’t know how many countries. Even our own Missouri Governor is planning on attending. It’s interesting to see the press pitches offered. Like, “We thought you might find it useful . . .” to “You are invited . . .” I really like the sound of the Australian wine tasting for media. Here’s one I got a kick out of, “I see that you’ll be attending the BIO 2006 Annual International Convention in Chicago next week. . .” Ah, you did, did you?

This is certainly information overload. I don’t even have time to read and examine all these announcements. I’m sure they’ll continue. I’ll try to give you an update by Monday even if I’m not there.
