@Cara -
Maybe. Carmen travels out there more than I do for speaking. Not sure what’s going on for the later half of the year yet.
I will be out there in mid-August for personal reasons, maybe I’ll schedule a meet up…

@ Latoya — for the Feminism2.0 conference at GW, must one be a student at GW or a student in general? I love your work, but $60!?

@c. – I think just a student in general.
And don’t feel bad – I’m *presenting* and they are charging me money to attend the conference! That’s just wrong.
I’m going because it’s Veronica’s love and there will be a lot of cool women there (not to mention my co-panelists) but whoo…I’m adding a new cause to my contracts.
And thanks for the compliment!
