Blogs, Dogs and Birthdays

My birthday is tomorrow. I was never one to wish for a puppy, but yesterday I got a dog. Not a real dog, but an invite to the phenomenal Blogs n Dogs workshop in Banff. Nice present for sure. I’ve always wanted to go to the Banff Centre.

Raincity Studios in partnership with the Banff New Media Institute is producing a 3 day workshop on blogging and social networking at the Banff Centre, Alberta from December 4th-7th 2005, and I am attending.

Yesterday I received an email from Robert Scales of Raincity Studios announcing that I was the winner of their scholarship (workshop fee, activity fee--DOG SLEDDING--accommodation and meals, and airport transfer fees to and from the airport to Banff). I swivelled around in my office chair many times and the grin has yet to leave my face.

Here’s the post announcing the winner and the 5 other finalists.

Want to come? The registration closes Friday, November 25.
Register. Do it now. Don’t delay.

There’s dog sledding, and I think in my submission I may have promised to bring my tap shoes.

Yes you did say you’d bring your tap shoes and we are looking forward to that! smile

Well done Monique. See you in Banff on the 3rd

Congrats Monique, and happy birthday!

Greetings!  I was one of the 6 finalists, and just wanted to extend my congratulations to you. It looks like it’s going to be a great conference! Enjoy.
