Packing light – Seattle Edition
I’m off to Seattle tomorrow at 7am (gah!). I absolutely HAVE to pack light for this trip since my suitcase has to be stuffed with 50 pounds of conference programs. Even though there are a few glaring problems with it it still came out fairly cute.
What conference you ask? The Conference of Creative Entrepreneurs (<-- I NEVER spell that right) that I have been working on with Jamie Chan - http://www.urbanfaunastudio.com/, Lauren Venell – http://sweet-meats.com/, Kristen Rask – http://www.shmancytoys.com and Andrea Porter – http://www.matthewporterart.com/ for like, the last year.
So, I’m excited. I’ve never been to Seattle although I’m sure I will end up only seeing the conference rooms. That’s fine. It will be great to meet all the conference goers and spend time with the speakers, attend some sessions and spaz about various organization details. It has been weird to organize something happening in another state with people who live in that state. I’m not sure what the difference would be if we had organized it here. I’m hoping we do it again next year and have it here in the Bay Area.
Having just been to BlogHer I’m still basking in the warm glow that is meeting people in person and having fun and talking about things that interest us with strangers who quickly become something more. It’s a dynamic that I’m actually not really that good at and that makes me TIRED. But tired in a good way and i’m not good at it because I’m an introvert so what r u going to do?
Anyway, I value it and enjoy it and am so happy to have opportunities to do it with a bunch of bloggers and with a bunch of kick ass crafty business women.
Back to packing… really truly packing light is very difficult. I mean, my hotel has a pool and a fitness center and so clearly I need to bring workout clothes and a swimsuit. amiright? I can eliminate bringing ear plugs since I am rooming alone. so there’s that… It’s only three days so I can get away with one pair of pants, one skirt and one dress and one pair of shoes (two pairs since I’ll need workout shoes). + 50 pounds of conference guides. I can do it!

Right, because ear plugs take up so much space when packing

Your conference sounds super exciting. Can’t wait to hear about how it goes.
