In reply to Abie Padilla.

Awww! Thanks Abie and Mark! I personally just really appreciate being so close to the planning of the WordCamps in Phoenix since its inception (yea I have s 2009 tee! ;) ). I personally know that our Phx WordCamp org teams work super hard - dedicating all kinds of crazy volunteer hours and sponsorship dollars to pull out all the stops, raise the bar, and rock the house. I've been part of planning or executing the last few years and I'm so glad to hear you both have enjoyed yourselves here in sunny (so hot right now) Phoenix! :D

Promise the weather will be worth the travel from the snowy states later on this year! Also I have some insider WordPress community intel "aka a little birdie told me" - our amazing Phx WordPress Posse is already gathering up an amazing group or organizers to hold another awesome WordCamp in our lovely little metro even if does end up being a standard Phoenix local shin-dig... Regardless of the outcome of Phoenix's bid for North America (which would be SO FREAKING AWESOME - DOUBLE the 2014 Capacity for WordPress Learning in Phoenix??!! YES BRING IT! :D)
