Northern Voice is offering six travel bursaries of CAN $500 each. I would like one.
I live in Vancouver, which means that technically I don’t need a bursary. I don’t have to come down from Prince George. I don’t have to take a ferry. I don’t have to do anything aside from hop on a bus out to the conference or catch a ride with someone. BUT … I still want a bursary.
What’s the deal you ask? Is she just a greedy guts? Hell no.
I know that all sorts of great people come to the conference each year, and each year, we’re so crazy to hang out with each other that, at the last minute, we plan parties and after-conference events. We go for dinner, we go for drinks, we go to hang out.
I would like to buy a bunch of taxi cards so that people who have been drinking can see me for a taxi card. Whether they’re going home, to a hotel, wherever, I want to make sure my fab friends–new and old–get around safely.
My request for the $500 bursary is for safe travel in Vancouver.
What can I contribute to the conference? My smiling face. I have been to all the Northern Voice conferences. I bring experience. I bring interesting questions. And I bring a desire to help new bloggers figure out the whole blogging thing. I’m bilingual–I speak geek and regular joe, second life and first life. I like to talk to people and I also like to help. If you need a gopher on the day. I’m there for you.
