I learned so much last night at the opening of Postopolis! LA, and it was just the first night.

Super disappointed that I didn't get to fly out to New York to see this... http://www.storefrontnews.org/event_dete...

And, I was particarly impressed by the voices of two strong, powerful, funny WOMEN that spoke about their successful websites.... Regine Debatty, we make money not art and Bettina Korek, ForYourArt. I found them inspirational.

I'll be at something every day! Here is the schedule for the first night of Postopolis! on Tuesday - did you know Fritz Haeg was on Martha Stewart last week?! He has a new book coming out called Sundown Salons that is launching at the MAK Center on June 21.

Postopolis. It's definitely going to be interesting to see how is all comes together with 6 bloggers and five days of non stop discussions and interviews (planned and unplanned) about urban design.

There are so many that I am excited about. The Goodreads event on Sunday in Venice, the Friday night Gallery walk and taco truck feast in Culver City. Postopolis at The Standard Downtown. Hmmmmm. I am going to have to think about this one.
