Speaking at the Summit of Awesome in DC
Hey all! I can’t believe I haven’t posted about this yet, but I wanted to let you know I just flew in to D.C. to speak at the first ever Summit of Awesome in the heart of the Nation’s Capital! I just realized I posted all about it on the Church of Craft site (wherein I’m the SF CoC Coordinator), but spaced posting it here – eep! Anyway, check it:
I’m speaking on a panel: “What’s a Social Network and How to use it for Good” on Friday May 1st, 11:30am-12:30pm (with Danielle Maveal of Etsy Success/Virtual Labs and myself, Willo O’Brien of WilloToons).
Some of you may remember that last year, around this time, I attended Craft Con (view photos), and the Summit of Awesome is sort of like the Craft Con of 2009. Not officially related, but it’s all about the business side of craft… which as you all know, is what I’m all about!
Here’s the full deets on the conference:
I’m so excited to see Handmade Nation! I missed the premiere in SF that happened about a month back. I’m also super excited for Saturday night’s Show of Awesome, that I’m inviting a few of my DC pals to & I hope they can make it.
On top of all of this awesomeness, I get to see my dear girl friend Jess, who moved away from SF last year & we all miss so dearly! She actually got in a bad bike accident recently that broke her jaw & required it to be wired shut to heal. :( We all sent her a big care package, but I can’t tell you how excited I am to see her & give her a big hug in person! Jess is amazing, and has been so strong through all of this. In fact, should you be in a position to only be able to eat blended food through a straw, check out her awesome blog documenting all the great recipes you can drink through a straw!
OK, that’s all for now. I’m staying at my fabulous craft girlfriend, Caitlin’s place (of Rebound Designs), but she’s in bed & I’m still awake on west coast time, therefore staying up way too late! For those of you who are here, please find me & say hello. For all the rest of you… I wish you were all going to be here. This weekend’s going to be AWESOME!
