i was jealous at alt summit
Whoa… what an amazing few days in Salt Lake City. Alt Summit was sort of like summer camp {in the winter} for art & design bloggers. Graphic designers, artists, writers, interior designers, magazine editors, event planners, fashion writers, all showed up to share everything they possibly could about their areas of expertise. I spoke {which was an insanely amazing thrill!}, I learned a truck load of stuff, barely slept, and had more coffee than a girl should probably consume in three days. But I think the most fantastic part, was the fact that I met so many people who, before Thursday morning, I had only known by their twitter handles. Now of course they should all be filed under #brandnewbffs.

aw, sounds like a great time! i wish i could have been there this year!!
What did you speak about? Were you in disguise?
it was definitely like summer camp! everyone was so nice and friendly. it was great to meet you in person! p.s. i loved your panel!
thank you! you too!
It was so lovely meeting you at Erin’s resource party. I can’t wait to read your book when it’s published and I can buy it at Anthropologie. I’m positive it will happen and you should be too!
haha! well, thanks… i’ll try and visualize that happening! thanks brandi ; )
i talked about “growing your community”… things i’ve done (link love, emails to the artists i write about, guest blogging), and things i have intentionally not done (advertising). i was the total rookie on my panel, but i think it went pretty well. and no, no disguise… so i think it’s safe to say that the whole anonymous thing is kinda headed out the window at this point! ; )
next year lauren! i’ll meet you there!
