An Event Apart: Chicago 2008
Tonight we went to pick up my packet for “An Event Apart” Web Design Conference tomorrow! I’m so excited I cannot even express my emotions in word format. *jumps for joy*
Check out the picture to the right – this is the stuff that came in my packet a sweet mini laptop bag(too bad my comp doesn’t fit), memo pad, and a quite nice journal/notebook, and of course my personalized ID badge. :) I’m happy, can you tell?
This is going to be such an inspiration and so eye-opening and refreshing. Starts at 7AM tomorrow at the Sheraton Hotel downtown Chicago and the end of the day there will be a sweet party sponsored by Media Temple. All the people I love in web design are gonna be there: Jeffery Zeldman, Eric Meyer, Jason Santa Maria (who designed the ID badges), Jason Fried, Cameron Moll…the list goes on. I really wish someone was going with me (Kurt would be my first choice since we are literally like web design buddies every day at work.) I’m gonna do my best to relay all this stuff back to you dude! Seriously its not gonna be the same by myself…hopefully I’m not a total loner hanging out in the corner being bashful. Haha! Lets pray I make some friends. LOL.
Ok well I’m gonna go get my bag together and charge all my electronics to take with me: laptop, camera, phone, ipod nano. :)
that looks awesome…I love conferences. Some designers look at them as a chance to get out of the office for a day or 2, but really-in-truly, I always leave them feeling incredibly inspired and ready to tackle the world…We should someday find one that we can goto together – how fun would that be…But I’m heading to DesignThinkers (http://www.designthinkers.com/index_2008.html) up in Toronto at the end of the month, so can’t wait to see what we can both bring back and share…
It’s like the web design world series, no really. Hope it blows your mind and I can convince my boss to send me next year. Maybe we’ll do Seattle or Boston, both towns I’ve yet to visit and really want to anyways.
