Baltimore – Maybe America’s most misrepresented small city

Honestly, I thought I was going to be dodging bullets and John Waters characters.  But man, Baltimore is a pretty cool place.  At least the parts I visited for the 3 days I was there.

I was there for this amazing event

Where I got to give my talk: “WE ARE ALL MAKING THIS UP: LESSONS FOR THE WP DEV FROM IMPROV”

I wrote a whole blog series to support this topic: https://improvdev.wordpress.com/

There is a recording on WordPress.TV

And, boy howdy, did I get to sing some awesome #WCKaraoke:

So much fun.  Even bought a new domain name after a few drinks.

Made so many new friends.

Also got to go to my new favorite awesome museum, the Baltimore Museum of Industry.

If you care to see them, you can see all my pics here.

Baltimore, you are an underrated town.  I will be back in the spring for DrupalCon! 

Berkeley and Seattle and Denver

10/22 – Berkeley – BADCamp

10/29 – Seattle – WordCamp

11/05 – Denver – WordCamp

Whew…3 back to back back camps mean 3 back to back weeks of travel and late nights and meeting so many people.  Sorry if I forgot your name.  It  has been a long 3 weeks.  3 more trips to go too before end of year and maybe a couple more too 🙂

Loving it!

#wckaraoke FTW!

Minneapolis – 2nd office and so much Karaoke!

I was in the 2nd Pantheon office in Minneapolis this past week.  I really like the twin cities and had a marvelous time overall.  The ACE team got a ton of work done and really bonded with the new team members.

I got to see some amazing improv and I found Otter’s Saloon.  The best Karaoke bar maybe ever.  A true dive with colorful locals, I fell in love with the place.
