They were talking out loud and trying to figure out what was going on, so I jumped in and told them all about barcamp and the concept. I must have spent 15 minutes with them. The husband did not do anything on the interent but the wife wanted to take her travel agency online. So I was telling her about how to do that and how she could learn from others on how to market herself and the website online. Luckily there was a presentation going on right then and there on using your blog as a newsletter. After explaining what a blog was & a newsletter, they decided to walk into the presentation and listen in on the talk. After words they came out and found me. I gave them my card and now they want me to help them get started. Funny how that turned out. The downtown location was great and brought 2 of many off the street and into the mix! This is one of many stories I have of another successful barcamp! At one point two british tourist (husband and wife) were walking by and looking at the presentation board schedule.
