So it appears, anyhow. My husband and I have had a lot of discussions about it, or rather the cost of attending, and he’s finally convinced that it will be worth the money.

For an online marketing expo it’s really not badly priced, but coming fresh off his job loss it’s a bit hard to take the expense casually.

The one remaining question appears to be…

Can he come along?

That, of course, depends on the new job. BlogWorld is on the weekend of September 20, 2008, and his new job does include weekends. But he’s going to just ask and see. It happens or not.

The logic for us is that it won’t cost us much more to have him come along. Las Vegas is not too bad in terms of driving distance, and I would have to rent a car to go there on my own, as we only have the one. If he comes along then he’s not using the car for work, and so we can take our car. The cost then just becomes him keeping it reasonable on entertainment and food.

That’s not too bad an added cost for a nice vacation for he and I together.

So today I’m waiting for him to come home and see what they say. It’s never fun to ask a new job right off for consideration on the schedule, but it wouldn’t require any actual extra time off, at least.

I’m looking forward to meeting a lot of interesting people there, and of course if you’re going let me know and we can see if we want to meet up.
