so i’m starting to worry

It’s 1:30AM PST and I can’t bring myself to head to bed…. I know that when I get up that I must face the reality of leaving. I know that there is plenty of good stuff and great people at home, I just wish I could bring them all here with me.

disney has it all wrong

i’m pretty sure that disney world has been knocked out of the ranks when it comes to “the best/happiest place on earth.” Canada (or C-A-N-A-D-A as Stompin’ Tom Connors would say) has been absolutely amazing! i arrived in Vancouver one week ago today, where i was immediately welcomed and rushed off to all-you-can-eat sushi and it’s only gone uphill since then.

i’ve had some wonderful “ah ha” moments, i’ve helped to create one of the best online campaigns ever [more on this later], i’ve stepped out of my comfort zone, i’ve made some amazing friendships, i’ve grown existing friendships, i’ve made a lot of plans, and i’ve laughed an immense amount.

i’m a little worried about leaving tomorrow, but i’ll worry about that when it’s time to go. today, i’m going to just breathe and enjoy taking it all in.

the place to be

In case you aren’t aware, BC is apparently “the place to be” – well Cortes Island to be exact. The 7th Annual Web of Change Conference is taking place this September 19th – 23rd.

woc2006participant: it’s all paradise mix with tech
me: you should come to austin for sxsw next year – it’s all tech, no paradise
woc2006participant: ha
woc2006participant: we’ve got seaside hot tubs
woc2006participant: with wireless
woc2006participant: doesn’t get much cooler than that
me: wow. maybe i’ll just move to bc.
woc2006participant: it’s sorta the place to be, in case you hadn’t heard

There’s a small, small, small chance that I may get to go this year which is very exciting. Great people, doing great things, in a gorgeous place – the place to be.
