One of those friends that I’ve never met in meat space, Bill Volk of the mobile device software company Playscreen was at the AdTech converence in New York city. His ovservation (along with his pic on the right):

The AdTech conference in NYC is JAMMED. The line to get badges for pre-registered attendees was over 1000 people long with a one hour wait.

Advertising can be a leading indicator.

He lives in California, and noted that he had the first real bagel since the last time he was in NYC.

You can get them here, in Baltimore, Goldbergs Bakery, where you can sometimes watch them boil the bagels before baking.

Anyone know where real bagels can be found in Southern California?
