New Orleans

So we went to New Orleans for the publisher summit last week. It was a great time. We got to see the city, do some charity work, network with some of our publishers and attend some insightful meetings. New Orleans is still in the process of recovery from Katrina and there is evidence of this all over the city- from broken windows in buildings to abandoned boats randomly on the side of the road. It was an amazing experience to hear first hand from some of the victims and I'm glad we got the chance to help the recovery effort- even if it was only for a few hours. All in all it was a great time. Just watch out for those hurricanes and no, I'm not talking about the storms.
