**Jim Remsik:** But again, these are shorter stints, for the most part. We've got stops every ten hours or so... And trying to get through that in a week -- sorry, you're just listening to my thought process as to why this makes sense. |
**Jerod Santo:** \[laughs\] Like I said, you can tell yourself that kind of things... I think it's going to be cool, and I think it's going to be a memory... I think that you should absolutely record as much as you can, and try to make some sort of a memory video or something, so that you have a takeaway at the end, wh... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** So chill. |
**Jerod Santo:** ...chill about it as well. |
**Jim Remsik:** It's going to work out. It's going to be what it's going to be, right? |
**Jerod Santo:** That's kind of how I approached this event. And I think Adam probably would have stressed about it more than I did, and this was why I kind of kept him out of the details... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I would have. |
**Jerod Santo:** ...and I'm just like "You just get a place, and then you get a plan together, and you invite people, and then you show up and do the thing... And it'll work out." And it pretty much did. |
**Jim Remsik:** But again, the support from the community has been great. We've got Coraline Ada Ehmke, Scott Werner in Chicago, Seth Giddens is probably going to join in New Orleans... Tenderlove is going to come down to Portland... I'll leave out a few more names, because I haven't gotten signoff-signoff... |
**Jerod Santo:** Sure. |
**Jim Remsik:** But again, Yuri is speaking in Chicago. He's never spoken at a conference before, but reached out and he's like "I would really like to. Here's my talk idea", and we're talking through how to best pull it off... And Tia is speaking in Austin... Landon you all know in Austin... Ceci Correa in Austin... S... |
**Jerod Santo:** Well, if you put Omaha or Kansas City on your map next time around, I will be there. I'm not going to drive to Chicago, it's eight hours. It seems like a lot. But I would definitely hop over to KC. It's like a two and a half hour drive from here. For a RubyConf. |
**Jim Remsik:** Tulsa? |
**Jerod Santo:** Tulsa is kind of far. \[laughs\] |
**Jim Remsik:** That's fine. |
**Jerod Santo:** I'm not saying I wouldn't, but -- |
**Adam Stacoviak:** "Can I interest you in Tulsa...?" |
**Jerod Santo:** ...that gives me pause. Why? Is that already on your list? It has been sort of the canonical example of - I want people to say "Hey, we've got 30 people in Tulsa that want a conference." The original idea for this was to go to underserved technology cities... |
**Jerod Santo:** Yeah. |
**Jim Remsik:** ...that still have a population. Back in Hashrocket days we went to Huntsville, Alabama for a conference that Jeremy McNally ran... |
**Jerod Santo:** I went to that as well. |
**Jim Remsik:** We wound up playing -- |
**Jerod Santo:** Yup. At the old Grand Ole Opry. |
**Jim Remsik:** I think we went -- |
**Jerod Santo:** Or that was Tennessee. |
**Jim Remsik:** Yeah, that was Tennessee. |
**Jerod Santo:** Okay. Well, it was definitely a Ruby Hoedown, but maybe it was... Did he do it in different places? |
**Jim Remsik:** He might have. Because he also did a conference in Disney. He did Magic Ruby. |
**Jerod Santo:** \[01:26:18.07\] That's right. Magic Ruby. |
**Jim Remsik:** So he bounced aound a little bit. |
**Jerod Santo:** Okay. So I went to the Tennessee one, not the Alabama one. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Are you talking about Jim? |
**Jerod Santo:** Jeremy McNally. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Jeremy. I was thinking of Jim who did Lone Star Ruby... I can't remember his last name in this moment. |
**Jim Remsik:** Jim Freeze. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Yeah, Jim Freeze. That's who I was thinking. Because he did that in... Yeah, in Florida. |
**Jim Remsik:** Yeah. One of those fun memories... We actually drove an RV from - I drove the RV - from Jacksonville, Florida. We rented an RV and piled eight of us into it, and drove to Ruby Hoedown in Huntsville. And we had a group of young people that were all sort of eclectically dressed, and we drive up to like a ... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Yes... |
**Jerod Santo:** \[laughs\] |
**Adam Stacoviak:** You get free food. |
**Jerod Santo:** The answer is always yes. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** They might say, "Can you come on stage?" "Oh, dang..." |
**Jim Remsik:** You don't want to overplay that one, that's right. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** That's right. "We're late. We've got a gig. It's too late, we're on our way." Well, that's cool, man. I want to call one out, because a friend of mine - a friend of ours - is going to New Orleans. And if it was in Austin, I would be much more happier, because that's where I'm going to go. I'm not go... |
**Jim Remsik:** No, no. Confreaks has answered the call. It's just, if we can find a way to get them the paltry sum that they're looking for to record. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Yeah, that makes sense, too. Well, I got some ideas for you. We'll talk in post. I've got some ideas for you if that doesn't work out, for sure. |
**Jim Remsik:** They have been great. I've worked with Cindy for most of -- I'm trying to think... I've known Cindy for most of the decade, most of the past decade. Again, she is one of those people who shows up, and she always delivers, and she'll always try and make something happen if possible... And we're going to ... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** That's a good deal. Well, everyone, go to xoruby.com. Fall in love, hugs and kisses, Ruby all around... And then go to the same domain /firestarter. And if you're not going to be there and you love everything Jim has said and you resonate with how he cares about the community, and you care about sup... |
I would love to see some folks from our community buy a tank of gas. That'd be kind of cool. 50 bucks. Buy a tank of gas, show some love, help Jim out on this trip here... And maybe he'll do it again and again and again. Maybe in your city. Who knows? Jim, thanks so much, man. Thanks for having a great heart, and pouri... |
**Jim Remsik:** Again, my pleasure, and thank you so much for helping me get the word out. |
