A Dramatic Reenactment of the Entrance to Word Nerd Networking
Last week, about 75 people crammed themselves into a small back room at the Galway Hooker for an event I’d planned with the fantabulous Marian Schembari.
Needless to say, I was shocked. It was my very first foray into event planning, and I had assumed we’d be lucky if even five people bought tickets.
But apparently, we had hit upon a real need amongst word nerdy types.
In the end, the event was a success. People raved to me about the great conversations they’d had, and the connections they’d made. They even asked me when the next event was taking place! (To which I began laughing maniacally because I was having a nervous breakdown… you’ll soon see why…)
Still — as I assume happens with most events of this sort — not everything went smoothly.
