The Classic Sportswear & Promotions wine tasting at the Darien Liquor Shop was a great time. We had a big turn out and everyone had fun. And one lucky winner walked away with a signed Joba Chamberlain jersey. And Classic also gave away three great laptop bags.

WordCamp was great. A full day of sessions about WordPress and various related topics. I think the session on SEO was the best. It actually got a little heated between the developers and the bloggers at one point.
