One of my all-time favorite movies is Grease. The classic love story between Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson still resonates with me. So when I started writing a blog about all the great summer plans The Planet has lined up, the song “Summer Nights” began to run through my head. So naturally, I started improvising a few conference-related verses to the song. Because I can’t deprive you of the organic masterpiece that resulted, this blog features the song written just for you about our crazy summer plans to the tune of “Summer Nights.” If you aren’t familiar with the classic duet from Sandy and Danny, click the link to play the video in the background as you sing along:

Summer sellin’ having a blast
Summer sellin’, it’s happening fast
We traveled to Web Expo in May
The show was great, as you’ve heard us say

Summer days driftin’ away to uh-oh those summer shows

Tell me more. Tell me more. Was it like a bazaar?
Tell me more. Tell me more. Like, did we raise the bar?

It was great, we stayed out late
Structure’s in June, and we might all just swoon
We’ve got a new look, and we’re SF bound
Carl’s talking about Cloud, making us proud

Summer sun, something’s begun, but uh-oh those summer shows

Tell me more. Tell me more. Well, it’s all on our site.
Tell me more. Tell me more. Can I get an invite?

Takin’ it all to the Lone Star State
HostingCon is next on the slate
Try it out, Server Challenge
I bet there’ll be times to avenge

Summer heat won’t slow us down, but uh-oh those summer shows

Tell me more. Tell me more. Will there be a big bout?
Tell me more. Tell me more. The winner will shout!

We’ll hit New York, just as we planned
Affiliate Summit will be quite grand
There are partners to meet, new friends to greet
We smiled all we could, you know what I mean

Summer heat, updates to Tweet, but uh-oh those summer shows

Tell me more. Tell me more. How much swag did we send?
Tell me more. Tell me more. We’ll be sad when it ends.

It turns colder, but that’s not the end
There are still fall shows to attend
Now I know you’re wondering how …
We got you to sing this out loud

Summer days: dreams and extremes,
But oh …
Those summer shows

Please forgive me for this foray into show tunes on our blog. I simply couldn’t resist!

In case you didn’t catch it all in my musical format, we hope to see you at some of our summer events below!
