I haven't been blogging regularly because I have been busy with stuff, including this little thing called Penguicon that is this weekend! I am half of the DIY (do it yourself) Track, along with the ever-awesome Skennedy! This is our first time running a track, and it started out as a small idea. Over the last year it has turned into a big part of the Con, with our main guests, I3Detroit, appearing as Hacks of Honor. Sken and I have worked really hard to get some great panels and panelists together, including two make/hack spaces at the Con. We have met some super-fab people along the way and have learned a ton about not only Makers and making and hacking, but also about Con running (for better or for worse, heh.) I am heading out to the hotel soon and am looking forward to having a fun weekend. I hope everything goes smoothly and everyone has a great time.
I didn't plan too many panels for myself, because I want to be free to check in on all the other panels and panelists and lend a hand when needed. But I did manage to form two fun panels that I am excited to be on:
| Writing for DIY Blogs and Publications | David Erik Nelson Melanie Brooks | May 2, 2010 11:00AM | 0h50 | Private Dining I |  | |
| Writing articles and books for the craft world is one way a craft professional can market their work and educate. This panel of artist writers will talk about how they got involved with writing craft titles and articles. | ||||||
| Crafting a Craft Career | Melanie Brooks Jeanie Davan Alyska Bailey Peterson | May 2, 2010 9:00AM | 0h50 | Private Dining I | | |
| The trials and tribulations of making a living as a craft artist can be complicated as well as rewarding. A panel of professional artists share some of the details of their studio lives, experiences selling online and at public venues, and the truth about the adventurous life of an artist. | ||||||
Hope to see you at Penguicon!
