Nerd Camp - Expanded
A couple of days ago, An apple a day.... asked about Nerd Camp.
I actually turned my experience (only slightly hyperbolically) into my Comedy newsletter in June. So here it is in its entirety, for anyone who is sadly lacking in the reading-the-Comedy-newsletter department: "Nerd Camp" 
As I've alluded to before, I like to travel. I turned the experience into a month-long road trip, driving to the DC area first for a conference, and then through Indianapolis to say hi to PuppyTales, and Kansas City (the one in Missouri) to say hi to the beer there. After the week-long nerdsperience, I spent some time in Vegas to remind myself why I don't like to gamble.
What I didn't do is record the experience on the travel blog I mentioned before (I keep the offsite blog because I like to incorporate pictures, something WDC doesn't let us do easily). I just wasn't feeling it. I should have, though. Not because I want to share everything with the world - I don't - but because if I don't write something down or keep a souvenir, I quickly forget most of it.
Which brings me back to why I'm writing in this space again. I'm... not sure what I've been doing for six years, besides playing video games and occasionally traveling. I remember my cats died, and I adopted new ones. I think I had one successful NaNoWriMo in that time. Maybe two (I'll probably write more about NaNo later). Some other things happened that I mentioned two entries ago.
So while I appreciate the audience - and make no mistake, I'm writing for an audience, else I'd be keeping this stuff on a file on my computer - I'm mostly doing this to help me remember. Because if I don't remember it, it might as well not have happened.
Also, my memory being what it is, sometimes I encounter an old entry all fresh, and I remember that, sometimes, I can be pretty funny. But hey, looks aren't everything. |
