Hey again! I was shocked to get an email notifying me that Payperpost wanted me to help report/blog live from Collegefest 2007. So Friday morning I flew to boston not knowing what to expect. Before I let everyone know about my experience and ramblings of collegefest 2007 I want to give a shout out to the Payperpost team for this fun opportunity to blog like a rock star.
On the plane ride to boston not knowing what to expect I was a little nervous and I am usually not a nervous person. What did payperpost expect me to do?? Well, I think I figured it out. Dive traffic to payperpost’s site and booth at collegefest, duh! Drive traffic… something I do well everyday with my websites! I was prepared.
I got to the Hynes Convention Center at 10am which is usually a little early for Justin to be up and working but it had to be done.
As soon as I got to the main entrance I was greeted by a smiling face and I knew it was all going to be ok. This was Britt.
She works for payperpost and is the face I had been emailing for the week. Just looking at her shirt (above) I knew this would be a fun experience working with fun people. Since justin of course would die working with dull normal people! After we got doing saying hello we went up to find our booth and get situate. What was Justin supposed to do for 2 hours until all the college kids arrived? Well, Britt and the team were prepared…. or so I thought! 
Take a look at our booth.
Travis, whom I didn’t snap a picture of the camera man made me feel like a super star. I received a shiny yellow press pass and had Travis following me around as I looked at Collegefest before it started. Now I know what it’s like to be on MTV. Everyone treats you different when your followed by a camera. Can you say power (evil grin).
On the dot at noon Collegefest 2007 was open and and all the kids stomped in like it was a candy store. It reminded me of the last day of High School all over again. I rushed to the front door and start handing out enormous Payperpost pens and talking with people. I couldn’t believe how many kids I spoke with had some kind of blog whether it was on myspace, facebook, or even their own domain. Now all I had to do was get them to sign up. Evil Justin thought it would have been nice to put a sub-domain on Justin Chelf.com and hand out my referral link on the back of my business card… But, I didn’t even though my marketing mind wanted to get these students email or something!
After I had fun working at the payperpost booth for hours getting kids to signup and win free prizes spinning our wheel I was read to go and experience collegefest from my view as a college student. Besides the payperpost booth, here are the other booth’s which caught Justin’s attention and I got to snap a picture of. (Note: unless the company had an amazing product or a very interesting booth you won’t see it here.
First, we have the Novint Falcon, a new toy for all you gamers which allows you to be in the action instead of watching it. These just hit shelves at circuit city and check out my exclusive interview at collegefest 2007 below and a picture of me playing on it.

Next, we have the perfect pushup device. A U.S marine created this because he thought the pushup was flawed I suppose. I tried it and wow it makes the pushup a lot harder. Here is an interview about the perfect pushup. Thanks to Britt from payperpost for helping me interview.
