Countdown to Alt

I leave for Alt Summit in just two days and I am completely unprepared!  Last year I really wanted to go and couldn't because of a prior obligation.  So I marked the calendar almost a year in advance so I could sign up as soon as registration opened.  I figured as long as I was signed up, the chaos would have to give way to Alt Summit.

Now that it's upon us, and I am out of distractions, I've realized I'm a little nervous.

1.  I don't know anyone.
That's not entirely true.  I know Grace Bonney from Design*Sponge.  But she's a celebrity at events like this, so I doubt we'll just be hanging out eating dark chocolate.

2. I have no idea what to expect.

3. I'm staying WAY out of town the first two nights because EVERYTHING in Salt Lake proper was booked.  Literally, I called everywhere.  I can stay in town the last two nights.  Weird.

4.  I have no idea what to wear for a "Dinner en Blanc"  If I was invited to Kanye's All White dinner I'd be buying something new.  But his is in the Hamptons in the summer and I have loads of summer white.  It's wearing white in the middle of January in Utah that I'm unprepared for.

5. I've never been away from my kids for more than a day or two.  This is four nights away!  What will I do?  What will Mr. Hedin do?

While I'm there I'll update you with photos, etc.  Hopefully of me learning lots and being rejuvenated to write more on the blog.  And maybe find some new ideas for work in general.

Wish me luck!
