(By geeky, they don't have to be IT or programmers, I just mean those who are way into their blogs and social networking.) I don't think I would like Bar Camp either. Conceptually, it's interesting to gather a group of people passionate about blogging and technology. But the "anarchism" or non-comformity it strives for doesn't really appeal to me. Aside from "high-profile" speakers in the circle, some of the sessions sounded to me like "show&tell", let me show you how I customized my Firefox or something.
