that one time i made up for lost time...

So...I've been MIA for a bit. Sorry about that. I planned to blog all throughout Social Media Week, but funny thing, real life got in the way.  How bout that?So, what have I been up to the last couple of weeks? Here are some highlights:


Social Media Week

The global event Social Media Week hit Chicago for the first time this year and I had the great pleasure of producing and moderating a panel discussion at Catalyst Ranch. Titled Social Media & The Next Generation, the topic of improving communication between the generations has been a particular passion of mine ever since I began teaching. Blessed with an awesome panel of social media pros and twenty-somethings, it was a pretty awesome night.









And of course, I had to attend other events and network. Tons of fun. Social Media people like to drink: there was an open bar almost everywhere I went. If you're interested in my new friends, hijinks and shenanigans, just follow my Twitter feed, looking for hashtag #SMWChicago.



Family

Jessa is having a baby. We had a great celebration to welcome Baby McHoffman. It was wonderful to see so many great friends from college. Perry remarked how amazing it is that we're still alive after all the crazy shit we did ten years ago. Seriously. Amazing. It was a great quasi-almost <gulp> ten year college reunion.






















Most importantly, DJ is in town. Nuff said.

Theatre

Besides palling around with my families at Porchlight Music Theatre and Silk Road Rising, I have been rehearsing a very interesting piece with the fine folks at Interrobang Theatre Project. The Argument by Gregory S. Moss is a surreal, post-Apocalyptic piece written in response to Hurricane Katrina. Towards the end there is a fantasy production number that I provide choreography for. The show runs from 10/6-11/6. Check it out: support new theatre and a new company!





















Besides that, I've been doing quite a bit of this



and





and not enough of this

Anyhow...it's fall. Less outside play time, more...well inside writing time. So get ready for more blogging and a different blog look for October.


Have a great weekend!
