Not one single thing this year has gone the way I planned it. Not one. And with the Africa trip falling through I was twice as bummed because of all the other plans I put off in favor of it. At the top of that list was MaxFunCon. Despite all the great fun I had last year, I didn’t buy tickets because I was going to put it all towards Africa. And then they sold out.
But for once I caught a break and at nearly the last possible second they found room for me and Bear. We just spent three days with all of my favorite internet friends, incredible comedians, some new internet friends like Eden and Maggie, and a superconcentrated dose of inspiration.
My local friends rarely get what I spend so much time doing, if they know about it at all. It is such balm for my soul to be surrounded by people who get my love of the internet and creativity, and will reflect their own passion back to me. If we could just all start a commune together, I think my productivity would quadruple.
