Hi All,
The day starts out great. It ends even better. Two really great workshops with phenomenal speakers. (Diane Hunke http://www.essentialwholesale.com/ and Ann Evanston http://www.annevanston.com/) Then lunch and more workshops. One of the speakers I really liked, Ann Evanston, said she was doing an impromptu Twitter thingie in the hotel bar. This was not part of the conference. I had a decision to make. Do a workshop on photography and copy writing, or drink at 3 in the afternoon and have fun tweeting with a really cool lady and some new friends. So I get out of character and have a margarita, learn more about social networking , laugh so much it hurts, and make some really great connections. This continues through the "Dinner Extravaganza" with more drinks, laughs and tweets. The. Best. Day. Ever.

What a great day! Had a blast too.
ReplyDeleteIt was The.Best.Day.Ever!
DeleteWhat a fun event, looks like a great time was had by all. Love the Skittles vest :)
ReplyDeleteIt was lots of fun and you were missed! Maybe next year?
DeleteOh man and to think I was in the hotel room trying to find something to eat. I did have success though and snarfed a massive gluten free pizza. Next time I am so going to the twitter fest. There has to be a story behind the vest though.
ReplyDeleteThere was a story behind the vest, but for the life of me, I can't remember what it is! Serves me right for drinking at 3pm!

ReplyDeleteI don't think you can go wrong choosing to chat with Ann Evanston. She was an amazing find for this year's line-up of speakers. Day 2 was my favorite too! (Had to delete above comment, apostrophes in last names are a pain!) :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Leigh! You are right, she was an amazing find. Kudos to the Handcrafted Soapmakers Guild!
DeleteDay 2 was my favorite too, Angela! And Ann was an absolute hoot. I feel like I brought a whole lot more back this year, so much so that my brain is just buzzing!
ReplyDeleteMy brain is still buzzing too! Thanks Allison!
