Unfortunately the unthinkable has happened—WPCandy won’t be able to make it to WordCamp Orange County this weekend. We were never powered to attend, so this will be the first US-based WordCamp this year that we miss. Bummer, right?
So instead, this is a callout to WPCandy readers and WordPress fanatics in Orange County who will be attending. Using an idea that was born in last week’s podcast, I’m interested in naming a WPCandy Ambassador to Orange County for anyone willing to fill in for us and help liveblog and generally cover the event. For anyone willing to help out this weekend by blogging about the event, sending over photos, and generally being our man/woman on the ground, we’ll send a WPCandy t-shirt and any other cool swag we can pull together.
You can get a good idea of what we typically do at events by looking at our past WordCamp coverage. If you’re interested in becoming a WPCandy Ambassador, leave a note in the comments below and we’ll get in touch.

I should have trademarked that name : )
We are bummed to not have you there as well. We are big CandyFans. Next year, we’ll be sure to spearhead the Powering Campaign.

I’d be glad to help out, since I’ll just be attending this one, not speaking or organizing. Though I am sponsoring this camp through my WordPress theme site.
Shoot me an email.

I’ve always wondered this: why do you call yourself “The Frosty?” Curious.
Pro
Growing up I had the nick-name Austy-Frosty and I just kind of went with TheFrosty when I couldn’t get frosty.com way back (shakes fist at Wendys). To be short.

I will also be attending WordCamp OC as a sponsor but I’d be happy to get you guys some video coverage and photos via iPhone 4 and/or iPad when I can.
I am very excited about this weekend’s event. I would be happy to help provide coverage too.
