Top Three Fun Things I Did with Kristen Lamb at the Write Stuff Conference
The
Greater Lehigh Valley Writers Group
celebrated our 22nd annual
Write Stuff writers conference
just a few days ago. As conference chair, I had the opportunity to spend quality time with our keynote speaker,
Kristen Lamb
. While a conference recap is soon forthcoming, for now I give you the Top Three Fun Things I Did with Kristen Lamb at the Write Stuff Conference!
Picked her up at the Philly airport and drove her back to the Lehigh Valley when mechanical issues caused her to miss the connecting flight. Her company and conversation generated a rift in the space-time continuum, reducing an hour-and-a-half drive to what felt like 15 thoroughly enjoyable minutes. BONUS: I’m still getting over the fact that Kristen Lamb was in my car. I might have my passenger seat preserved in bronze.
Upon arriving in the Lehigh Valley, went grocery shopping at a Rite-Aid near Easton, PA then proceeded to get lost in the back streets with the goddamn GPS telling me to turn right into someone’s house. BONUS: Kristen assisted with navigation, never mind the fact that she’s from Texas and had never been to the Lehigh Valley before. I’m considering reprogramming my GPS with her voice, including a profanity option.
Along with two other writers—Aaron Rosenberg and Richard White—we hit the local Waffle House around midnight on Friday for breakfast food, pie, and high energy shop talk. BONUS: I took another wrong turn on the way out and got lost…BRIEFLY. Kristen’s response: “Recalculating!”
But seriously, folks, here’s the true bonus: Kristen is an inspiring speaker, an energetic teacher, and an adorable giver of hugs. The Force is definitely strong with the Social Media Jedi!
