Leaving On A Jet Plane
I have a hectic (for me) period of travel and events coming up. Here’s a quick rundown, in case you’re in the area; I’d love to meet IRL.
May 18 (next Tuesday), I’ll be in Jacksonville, Fla., speaking at PRVille 2010 – Top Shelf Social Media, which is being organized by North Florida PRSA.
I don’t know how “top shelf” I am, but I’m looking forward to meeting, hearing and learning from Mary Henige and Ryan Paul Thomson, not to mention catching up with my buddies Bryan Campbell and Bonnie Upright.
As an aside, whenever I hear “top shelf,” I always – always – think of Phoebe aka Lisa Kudrow’s “top drawer” act in “Friends.” What a great show that was. (Season 9, Episode 7).
May 26 I’ll be in Montréal, speaking at WebCom Montréal 2010, along with my Twitter buddy Claude Malaison. Claude and I first “met” a couple of years ago and I’m really excited to see him IRL, as well as, I hope, many others I haven’t yet had the pleasure of meeting in person.
This is also the first time I’ll be part of a bilingual presentation (guess who won’t be speaking French?).

Yesterday’s #measurePR chat with Jen Zingsheim was terrific. It might not have had the velocity of last night’s #pr20chat (more on that later), but we had a lot of new folks on the chat and quite a bit of fun too.
Jen “reported for duty” exactly on time (that’s what a military upbringing will do for you) and we had a great conversation on making the time to measure, prioritizing and how to kill AVE.
Yes, that old beast reared its ugly head again. Try as we might, we don’t seem to be able to get away from it.
If you’re getting up to speed on #measurePR, you can catch recaps and transcripts here. Here are some of the tweets from yesterday’s chat that:

Of dogs, guacamole and groupies
Disclosure, though I hope you already know this: I’m editor of Women Grow Business, a Network Solutions-hosted blog community by, for and of women entrepreneurs. I’m paid to do this, though I was not paid (or asked) to cross-post this announcement. I chose to do so because I think it might be useful for some of my readers.
When I started editing Women Grow Business, I knew it would be a trip and a half, but I don’t think I realized what a wild ride it would be. Seriously, I think WGB has spam groupies who insist on trying to sell men’s shoes. Whaaa… ??
Couldn’t we get a flash mob instead? (Image: Richard Wood, Creative Commons)
But anyway, founding editor Jill Foster came over one afternoon in January to walk me through the ins and outs of it, and afternoon turned to evening, through which we fortified ourselves with wine, olives, chips and guacamole (my dogs were particularly interested in the latter).
