Last year, I was very much honored to be selected to deliver a pre-con with my friend brother Chris Shaw (B|T). I was both excited and nervous at the same time. Regrettably, there were some rough moments in the days that followed the selection announcements, when people found out that their abstract wasn’t selected. Comments were said, tweets were tweeted and blog posts were written. Regardless of the kerfuffle that was on the blogsphere, the experience was amazing and I’m glad that I had the opportunity.
