  1. Great episode guys! I loved all the news. I was definitely jealous that I couldn’t go to San Diego and partake in all the goodness (especially the Hyatt Bar meet-up with creators and editorial).

  2. I used to live in San Diego and went several consecutive times but now I live in the Twin Cities. I’m sure I’ll get back at some point but next year I think I am going to put more effort into trying to get to C2E2 rather than San Diego.

    1. That’s cool. For the foreseeable future, I’m going to try my best to make San Diego each year. Especially if I start getting more friends who want to go.
