I’ll be gone for the rest of this week. Leaving tomorrow for New York, where I’ll be caught up in a combination of a Mediabistro Career Circus and the annual BlogHer conference. I’m hoping the meetings will generate lots of ideas for blogging, for marketing and promotion of The Cure and I’m looking foward to hearing what everyone else is up to.

I'm leaving just in time for the temps to hit triple digits in Austin.

The BlogHer conference is operating a small bookstore, where copies of The Cure will be up for sale and I can’t wait to see everyone else’s work. But it won’t be all work and no play. What would a trip to New York be without the fun part? The conferences will be punctuated by lots of meetups for after-conference drinks, parties and networking opportunities.

I won’t be blogging, but assuming I have internet access on my Blackberry, I’ll be tweeting from the conferences.

I’m hoping to come back motivated, bursting with fresh ideas, and ready to write!  (In keeping with the old saw, you gotta spend money to make money, I'm also hoping to come back with some leads for paying gigs.) Till next week……
