So here I am. In DC (or really Bethesda, MD) with a grand cast of characters from Seattle, Cincinnati, Philly, DC, etc… Good, good times. Off This has been a great conference, truly generous in the wonderful sense of the word. And frankly, more orthodox than I’ve felt in a while.
I’m exhausted, tho. Awesome new friendships with amazing people like Rose Madrid-Swetman, Dave Richards, Ryan Bead, and April Stace-Vega. Bob and I have been running the tech booth deal with video, music, and powerpoint. Its gone very well and we haven’t broken anything yet!
Here’s an un-editted podcast I recorded tonight during dinner with Rose Madrid-Swetman, April Stace-Vega, and Rachelle Mee-Chapman.

The music at the beginning and end (not the chant stuff, that’s a Monk named Creecher) is from Harp 46 of which April is a third. April and her husband Nuc are on staff at The Church in Bethesda that is hosting (very well, I might add) the conference this weekend.
Oh, we’re recording all the main sessions and some of the workshops…. I’m not sure what we’ll do with them… naturally I want to give them away via podcast or otherwise…. we’ll see.
And we had “afterglo” here tonight. Nothing like a nice Irish Pub to cap off the evening with good conversation, Irish Coffee, and Guinness Ice Cream (which they were out of, but I tried to order… so sad).
