planning this event has been such a learning experience. the most interesting aspect has been social media. facebook and blogs and email and....the list goes on and on. i have resisted twitter. just can't tweet yet. or is it tweeter and you twit? i don't know.
honestly, i'm not a huge fan of facebook. and wasn't a huge on of myspace either, except that i could create my own background and add music to my page. but all that is so high school, right?
don't get me wrong it's a venue for a lot of great things. the 5k love for example, i was able to send an invite to my friends and then other people were able to pass it along to their friends. over 2500 people just on FB alone have seen the event.
then a few people told me about running sites i should post it on. i sent the info to some and had one email me back. kelly at oregonlive.com did a nice post on the event. see here.
and though the Yes replies are far fewer than what was sent out, at least the event is being exposed...and in the right places.
i'm about to get all field of dreams, again (gee, i act like i'm from iowa or something) and say...if you build it they will come.
the event is being built and people will come.
i'm super excited!
