BIO2008 conference attendee Ben Keeton, of the Kentucky BioAlliance, won a Patent Baristas iPod this week. Ben was the first person to find me at the 2008 BIO International Convention in San Diego and ask for the Patent Baristas’ iBarista iPod.
Ben picked up a nice teal-colored iPod shuffle after asking for it Thursday. Ben was attending BIO and coordinating the Commonwealth of Kentucky Reception for Gov. Steven L. Beshear, which was quite an affair atop the Marriott.
Admittedly, Ben had a bit of an advantage since we’d met a couple of times in the past so he recognized me immediately — as anyone on the convention floor knows, reading the tiny print on the name badges of strangers as people flood by is not too easy.
While several bloggers in attendance recognized me at the conference, they declined to accept an iPod saying they wanted to let them go to the nonbloggers. Now, I have some iPods left over so I’ll be looking for suggestions on how to give them away.
