WordCamp Las Vegas is taking place this weekend. But its a special event in collaboration with Blog World Expo! That means that it’s going to be a big crazy weekend for geeks and techies in the Vegas area.

I will be working the WordPress genius bar inside the Las Vegas Convention center. So if you’re traveling to Vegas for Blog World, or coming just for the WordCamp, stop by and say hi. I’ve also posted a few links via my personal blog for events happening all weekend, starting tomorrow.
