So Bill–how about the rest of us, who paid our $$$ to come and HEAR the events. We should just be accomodating, b/c the people with crying babies want to “connect”?

First, thank you for taking notes, a bunch of folks wanted to hear what was going on.

SIDENOTE: I know–this is a session with Queen Mommyblogger Dooce–but we could really do without the crying babies.

I call shenanigans.

I’ve read reports from Zeldman and Meyer that they are effectively locked out of evening events because most are held at bars and Texas forbids minors, even with parents from entering.

The people with babies in the audience are there to connect, just as much as a the young turks with an XHR stack and a pile of angel funding.
