NEXT WEEK I AM GOING TO SEE JAIME LERNER AND TEDDY CRUZ AT A CONFERENCE!!  I FEEL LIKE ONE OF THOSE CRAZY TEENAGERS WHO GO TO A BOYBAND CONCERT.  I REALLY CAN’T BELIEVE THAT I’M GOING TO SEE THEM BOTH – IN PERSON … AND MAYBE EVEN GET TO ASK THEM SOMETHING.

OMG!  What am I going to ask them?  Anyone got any good questions for these two geniuses?

Okay, I can stop writing in ALL CAPS now.  I’ve calmed down.  But really, I am VERY excited.  I am so starstruck that these two international megastars are going to be in my small town.  These guys are big time, two of my heros.  And I’m sure that the other conference speaker will be equally wonderful but JAIME LERNER and TEDDY CRUZ are going to be HERE!!  IN MY TOWN!!

Here are some links to their work or articles about them:

Like a good crazed fan, I will try to come back with pictures and autographs to prove the awesomeness I have been gushing about.  Oh yeah, and some inspiring good ideas too.
