We’ve finally hit the one week mark until the AIGA Make/Think Conference. The increase of AIGA related tweets has really gotten me excited. I can’t wait to meet all of the people I’ve been following and who share my same eagerness.
Just one week to go until these new connections are made and old connections are reunited. Just one week and I’ll be in Memphis. In no time, the past 58 days of nerves culminate in the opening ceremony, where I will be found pacing back stage, preparing for the biggest pitch of my life.
Seven days, AIGA! Where is my first challenge? I’ve given up guessing what it’s going to be at this point, I just want to know.
Yesterday, Neenah Paper posted an interview with Michael Bierut, Pentagram partner and host of Command X. Like every other bit of press around the event, it excited and frightened me simultaneously.
“One of the reasons we have an age requirement for the players is because we know that young people need no sleep and can thus attend all the parties, all the events, and still get the assignments done.”
We’ll see about that, Michael. I’m going to need to see that assignment first. So, any day now.
