I had the pleasure to meet Stephanie Booth who is organizing this event at South by Southwest in March.
I am sure it will be a great event, plus you get a fantastic location.
When will I have a chance to meet Skellie though?
Another event that seems worth attending is Blog Potomac on June 13 (Falls Church, just outside Washington DC)…and it costs only $75…
Take care

It didn’t exist when I sent the info to Skellie, but Going Solo now has a mailing-list. If you want to keep informed of what’s going on, please sign up for it (it’s low-traffic, I just sent out the second newsletter… a week after the first).
