Me, meeting someone who's work I admire and been following on social media for years and have some online interactions: "I'm glad to meet you in person"
Them: "We met before"
Me: dies of embarrassment

Current status: laying in bed, reading tweets and toots, while listening to "Who Would Have Thought" by Darren Hayes on repeat https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=3wlAxyPmYtQ&feature=share
This isn't the first conference I'm chairing /organizing but I seem to be making the same mistake each time.
I should be taking time off from day job the week before the conference! ๐ฃ
๐ฌ I recorded a video for PyCon US 2023 Online Experience.
Yes, of course there are bloopers! ๐๏ธ๐โคต๏ธ

8 years ago I attended my first PyCon US (2015, Montreal)
This year I'm chairing PyCon US, and not just any PyCon US, it's the 20 years special anniversary celebration edition! ๐ฑ
If you told me 8 years ago that one day I'd be doing this kind of important role I wouldn't have believed you ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ต
I still don't know why anyone would think that I could do this. I just hope I don't disappoint, and I really hope y'all have a great time at PyCon US
Woke up on a long weekend to a lengthy and elaborate hate email from an antivaxxer who's protesting the vaccine requirements at PyCon US.

Screen test. Gonna record a video for PyCon. Is this set up ok? ๐ท๐
Dude, where's my car?
Our #ioniq5 #ev was supposed to arrive last Friday. Dealership says it's stuck at Port of Vancouver due to staff shortage ๐ฅฒ
If I could just see it before I leave for PyCon US, I'd be so happy.

Suddenly have a talk idea and trying real hard not to actually write a proposal.
I have to stick to saying "no" to everything until after PyCon US ๐ต
