Detroit surprisingly is NOT as bad as people think. I mean there were bums everwhere riding around on bikes, asking Lei for ciggies and asking Jason to watch out for their bags full of Miller Lite cans, but cumon, they're harmless.
Mimy and I thought of this event as our first step in networking. We talked to a lot of designers, store owners and photographers. Everyone was very nice and supportive which was awesome. After talking to Mike and Indra, it really pushed us to work harder.
Networking is ALWAYS something I've considered MOST important in many aspects of life. It all began with job hunting, want a job? make sure EVERYONE knows, six degrees of separation man. plus you never know who you'll bump into, learn from, or become friends with. it could seriously be the next person you decide to strike up a conversation with. Maybe it's cz i was in China for 3 months, doing too much networking and acting a lot more friendly than i am normally, but I definitely see the benefits of being social, and being friendly. it brings personal and professional satisfaction for yourself and those around you.
