So I figured I’d better sit down and write some stuff out now or I’ll never do it. So now, stream of consciousness.
The first night, Thursday to Friday, I didn’t sleep a wink. I was really nervous and excited. Silly stuff, like wondering if people were going to ask questions I couldn’t answer, or if nobody would care about our booth or anything. I had a few interviews with media outlets planned and I was of course a bit nervous about those, as they would technically be my first official ones. I didn’t want to say the wrong thing, etc etc.
This weekend was amazing.
I lost my voice by the middle of the second day. We were next to a very loud Intel booth, and they would randomly do stupid crap and yell crap on their PA system, so I’d be in the middle of the demo and have to talk over them.
My friend made me this magic potion that was the juice from two lemons and some honey. It burned to drink with lemony power but within literally 45 min my throat felt tons better. It was almost unreal how well it worked. I tried it a second time the second night and it totally helped again.
My friends and co-workers who are made and are making the drive back and forth to Washington with the booth and whatnot are amazing. They are the MVPs of the weekend for busting their butts so hard.
I have lots more to talk about but I need to sleep. Will possibly document more adventures soon.
