Oh, and I blog.

First rule of the event business is, strangely enough, to make sure you, the person that is organizing the event, can be there. If you fail at that, it doesn’t matter that P. Diddy is coming, or that you have free food and drinks, the whole event is a bust!

This same thing happened to me. I tried to organize a FlickrMeet @ PSU. I even had Onward State put it in their events calendar. And I failed. How? Because I failed to realize that other things that I have no power over might happen that same day. I forgot, I wasn’t thinking about, it never crossed my mind. These are all excuses. But they don’t make your event happen, they just find a way for you to justify that your event did not happen.

In the end, the event will probably get rescheduled. But this a great piece of advice for any other “noob” out there. Make sure YOU can attend your own event.

fictionally true, the beginings cancel, flickr, FlickrMeet

As I was taking a break from my research work ( translation: as i was procrastinating endlessly ) I decided to check and see news from the world of photography ( translation: look on the FlickrBlog ). I saw they had upcoming events on FlickrMeet, and I searched and couldn’t find anything on PSU or State College. So, I decided to take their advice and just make one. So i did, a FlickrMeet for April 2nd at 4 o’clock at the HUB. These details are all tentative, so its nothing set in stone. But at least we’re getting the ball rolling.
