Today we talk about our awesome times at the Rails Saas conference in Athens last week. We touched on how well the conference was organized, the great talks, and the fantastic people we both met. We felt like in the presence of stars and online friends.
We also spoke about how important it is to have activities planned outside the conference too and how the people make all the difference.

This is our clumsy but spontaneous attempt at podcasting. We had a call on Sunday, scheduled for Thursday, and just went on the call to see how we fare. The rest is history.
