I am back from Alt Summit and my mind is spinning. And as the title might suggest, no, the spinning is not from wine. It’s from the amazingness I was subjected to last week. I had a fantastic time all around, despite nearly slipping and breaking my neck every time I had to leave the cozy confines of the conference hotel (freezing rain is apparently a thing, you guys. And it’s not just the rain that freezes, it’s the roads and sidewalks, too. I’m never leaving So Cal again). And I didn’t pop any giant balloons, IN FACT, I faced my giant balloon fear head on.
I want to share all of Alt with you guys, but I need to do a lot of processing first. Sound familiar? Yes, I still need to write about Camp Mighty, too. I need to write about Camp Mighty and Alt Summit. One of panels at Alt included a section about getting yourself organized. I’m considering it.
For now, I just wanted to bring something to your attention:
I might have a wine problem.
I went searching through the Alt Summit Flickr photo dump yesterday, and I’ve only gone through about half so far but here are the only images I found of me:
And then Flipboard posted this on their Facebook page today:
So glad I got to meet you! And yeah, totally busted my ass trying to get a photo of the courtyard. Freezing rain is obviously not my friend.
Right?!? Who knew? I’m so shocked I managed not to actually fall, seeing as how I have several past incidents of tripping and falling over imaginary objects. Gravity and I don’t get along.
Welcome back! I’m so happy that you had a much better experience at this conference than at Camp Mighty and that you conquered the big bad balloons! 😉
I didn’t even notice you were wearing tights. I just thought you were really cold and pale. LOL Seriously the whole outfit is so cute. I love it! Might borrow it one day. 🙂
Was surviving crazy weather and freezing rain on your life list? If it wasn’t, it should be now! I don’t even want to think about how I’d do with all that craziness. I read Carly’s tale last week about how she slipped and I was hoping you didn’t have to be outside for anything so that you didn’t have to possibly have any accidents. They’re not playing in UT!
Anyway, it’s really funny how you pointed out “your friend” in all those pictures. Who says you can’t play and work? 🙂
You would be swimming in my dress, you tiny thing!
I’m glad my BFF could keep me company at Alt. We were apparently inseparable.
Ah Mindy, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Can’t wait to hear more about it. And well done for surviving the ice. We’ve had lots of snow here and I am ready for Spring!
Thanks! I had fun but missed you, roomie!
Wine is awesome. Just sayin’.
Glad you had an amazing time!! Can’t wait to read your thoughts. xo
Wine IS amazing, you are right. And free wine is irresistible.
I love this post!! I feel like I could have similar pictures just replace the wine with beer 🙂
Haha, Callie! Thanks for the support. I’m so glad we ran into each other at Alt.
