I’m Off To BIL

Monterey California

TED is a little out of my price range - but BIL fits nicely in my budget (i.e. it’s FREE). Plus, I get to peak across the parking lot at all the “beautiful people” at TED. Seriously, if you are in the Monterey California area this weekend - stop by BIL - I’d love to meet you.

What is BIL? Booze, Intellectuals, & Learning

Where? Monterey California

When? March 1st & 2nd

Why? Because new traditions are cool too! Did I mention that we’ve got some TEDsters stopping by to speak at our event? Really - you shouldn’t miss this.

Oh - and if you are in the San Francisco area and need a ride out to Monterey - we’ve got one seat left in our caravan so send me an email or direct message on Twitter.

P.S. I’m so going to walk the Monterey Beach - thanks for the suggestion Loic! Feel free to join me if you’re in the area (hint hint @ericabiz).  Also check out who’s Twittering from TED: TEDsters Who Twitter

    I just found out that TED was $6K. I tweeted about this last night. It’s disappointing that such an inspiring conference could charge so much money and by doing so leaves out many great thinkers who simply can’t afford those prices. Have a great time in Monterey.

I Have Blogger's Block
I was chatting with my friend Laura Mayes tonight - explaining how I have Blogger’s Block.  Tomorrow I head to San Francisco - and I’ve already stocked up on awesome reading materials for the plane - including the Complete Works of Jane Austen and Katharine Hepburn’s Autobiography.  Laura’s advice:

The best way to get out of a block is to read good writing.

And to go to Northern California.

 

Check. And Check.

Link Policy

My personal link policy is as follows - I only link to the blogs of people I actually know in real life (with the exception of the "Other Erica's" section). I think when you add someone to your blogroll there should be real meaning attached. Most of the people I link to are not only acquaintances - but folks I am lucky enough to call my friends.
