Hey Finfans!,

I’m SO GLAD you finally get to see…well, who is she? More mystery for next time!

I’m actually very excited to announce a SXSW InteractiviZINE!  Next Friday, March 12th I will attend my first SXSW (South by Southwest) Interactive Festival in Austin, TX. It is a five day festival of panels on media, interconnectivity, video games, start-ups, websites plus the impact AND use of technology. As a bit of a gadget girl, I’m frickin’ excited to attend!

However, this convention is in no way cheap. So I am asking you wonderful readers and friends of learning to donate to my SXSW trip and in return I will post my notes, photos and ephemera from the panels online! Everyone benefits when everyone gives a little. I’ll be accepting donations via Paypal from today until March 26th when I return to Vermont . The donations may start at $5 and up because I’m trying to reach about $800! And for the special people who donate, I am sending out a special InteractiviZINE with new comics about the experience, panel notes and a screen printed cover! The zine will serve as a tactile version of the online notes back to the gills with extra goodies!

My usual note taking is teeming with sketches, diagrams and information.  For examples of my prolific picture taking, feel free to visit my Flickr sets. This would be an especially great gift for you, a friend or relative who are unable to make it out to SXSW Interactive this year. I’ll post my SXSW schedule and the panels I’ll be attending shortly! Please click the DONATE link at the top of the site, donate any amount over $5 and get ready to LEARN!

Love,

Jen
