I’m heading to EVO!!!
And by EVO I do not mean Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Besides, that’s EVOO.
But I digress… EVO.
The first year I went to Evo in 2010 I road tripped (15 HOURS each way y’all!!!) with Maya (Memetales).
I love that woman.
I’m serious.
LOVE. HUR.
This year, I will be road tripping with my family.
*insert MUCH different experience here*
I love them too.
To be clear…
Aaaanywho… At Evo 2010 I rode my first zipline ever, and got a good peek at how well Laurie copes in life and death situations…
Oh that Laurie! I luh her…
In 2011 I got to share about how to ignite your inner sparkle as one of the Ignite Keynote speakers…
photo cred: the AMAZING Justin Hackworth
Aaaaand in 2011 I RODE THR ZIPLINE AGAIN…
AND A GONDOLA. TWICE. This is the first time as part of my role as vlogging workshop leader:
I am so excited for this, my third year at Evo.
Each year I have left Evo with experiences that have added to not only my professional growth, but personal growth.
This year will be a wittle different —- >I get to experience the conference environment with my family.
But I kind-of feel the people I have come to know and adore from Evo have become a family in a way.
*insert sappy music here*
But seriously. I can’t wait to learn a little more, hug a bunch of necks and most likely jump into a pool with my clothes on.
And it seems my daring doesn’t end at ziplines and gondolas… word on the street is I will be taking my camera and nerves up in a hot air balloon… and I am beside myself.
What does that even mean?
To be beside oneself?
Well, if it IS possible to be beside oneself, then I am someone who could do it… having at least one extra personality and all.
But I digress.
Evo.
And I can’t forget Lu! I met Lucrecer for the first time at Evo 10.
We knew each other all of a few hours before our room-mateness required us to share a bed.
We have roomed together at other conferences at least 4 times since.
Lu will be one of the several AWESOME Ignite Keynotes this year, and I can’t wait to hoot and holler for my sister from anotha mista.
I kind of feel like I am beside myself with excitement once again!
