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

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! 😣

🎬 I recorded a video for PyCon US 2023 Online Experience.

Yes, of course there are bloopers! 🎞️🙈⤵️

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! 😱

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 😵‍💫😵

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.

🙄😐😑

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 🥲

If I could just see it before I leave for PyCon US, I'd be so happy.

Q: "Is vaccine verification still required in 2023?"

>>> F"Yes!"

#PyConUS

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 😵
