2012: An Amber-Colored Year In Review (In Pictures!)

Last New Years Eve. The Darkness. Live. In January. It was AWESOME.
Book trailer fun time! Starting Jason DeRusha, Tony D'Aloia (pictured), Jake Nyberg, and Andrew Eklund.  Erica of RedheadWriting with my book at SXSW More highlights after the jump!
Nerdist!!!! Got mah book signed by my husband, Chris Hardwick. An awesome book reading and signing by Cheryl Stayed. Made even sweeter by getting to attend it with Erica! Did it.
My best friend Autumn and her hot husband Bret came to visit and I took this and she's gonna LOVE that I'm posting it, I bet! One of the funnest nights of my life with the Bauschy crew took place in this bouncy castle.
Megan's wedding! In Stockholm, WI. It was beautiful.
Look what I made you guys!!! (Glacier National, for Erica & Chris' wedding(
Jesus, I went to a lot of book readings and signings this year, huh? Me and Jenny Lawson, aka The Bloggess. Big Top with My #1 Lady Katy for Nickelcreek!
A dream come true - Mykl and I successfully organized a SMBMSP After Hours as a thinly-veiled excuse to meet Erika in person.  I was lucky enough to get to hang out with Erica and Chris in L.A in September! So great. This year's Halloween costume: 50 Shades of Gray New gig with the MCO crew. New digs.
After slacking off last year, I finished again this year. Boom. Editing. And then editing again. And then editing some more...
Had to say goodbye to Pooks, the cat that taught me how to love, this year. Miss you, old girl. Photo credit: Alie Schipper
I got to be a guest on the December SMBMSP podcast! Seriously a dream come true.
Presenting at Nerd Nite in December was definitely one of the funnest nights of 2012.
Spoke on a panel for SMBMSP #52: Jumping Tracks. Look how hip Don Ball looks in his t-shirt and sport jacket! Love it. Photo credit: Joel Carlson
This is a highlight because it contains tickets to the Local Natives show in March, distance training to Movement Minneapolis, and some totally sweet antler stuff. Which basically means this highlight will lead to 2013 highlights.
A little champs in the jacuzz on NYE never hurt nobody...Happy 2013 everybody!!
