#Tonight: @GirlsIRL nerdy girl lounge!! (7-9pm)

AHHH!! I am so so so so SOOOO excited nerderinos!!! 

@JennHoffman and I have been working for months now on launching GirlsIRL, and TONIGHT all the hardwork is starting to pay off. 

(And thank GOODNESS for that, I was starting to run out of elbow grease and that shit be EXPENSIVE!) 

The nerdy girl lounge from GirlsIRL is a place for all of us nerdy women to get together and share our ideas, thoughts, aspirations and most importantly a sacred place where we can all get together and hold ourselves accountable. For REALS! Having a goal in life is great, and one thing - but helping each other break it down into doable actions and cheer each other on while we execute is QUITE another.

I am INCREDIBLY humbled by the group that has been assembled in this community, and I KNOOOOWWW these women getting together on a regular basis will be able to accomplish some SERIOUSLY amazing things. 

Digital artists of all kind are welcome, even curious onlookers! Come one, come all! The purpose of the group is to educate and empower through technology as well, so come by and pick our brains!! We're here to help, we're here to give back, and we're here to keep doing cool shit. 

So let's work hard, get it done.

OMG OMG OMG you guys, you also have to understand this is QUITE possibly the closest thing I will ever have to being able to live out my dream of having a Babysitters club. For reals, think about it ... omg omg omg I just peed my pants a little. (dudes, I always wanted to be Claudia - which is funny now because I ended up with black hair ... coincidence ... I THINK NOT!) 

But yes, that's right duderinos, this is a girl's only club. ::sad trombone:: 

Don't worry however, the NERD HERD is this Saturday!!! So I can't wait to see some of your faces and hopefully make out. Only 8th grade makeout though ... actually come to think of it, I wasn't that slutty in the 8th grade ... 9th grade makeout circa 1999. (Times they be a changin!) Yep, that works!! 

GirlsIRL is meeting at Cafe Solar in Hollywood tonight between 7-9 pm.

Please note: This is not a meet up, tweet up, or networking event. The girls that will be attending are not looking to be pitched to, nor are we interested in hearing about your game changing start up. Don't be lame, don't be douchey, just be cool and keep doing cool shit, and again - chicks only. K ... disclaimer over.

Oh yeah and don't worry, if you're not in LA - we're eventually going to figure out how to livestream, etc ... gotta work out kinks and sponsorships first though. So, don't worry - we'll be expanding. =) =) =) 

#NerdsUnite: Announcing @girlsIRL starting THIS Wednesday

A hoi hoi nerderinos!!! Me and @JennHoffman have an announcement to make ... something very very very near and dear to both of our hearts ... girlsIRL.

I've mentioned a little bit about this in the past via our soft launch ... but starting THIS Wednesday the nerdy girl lounge from girlsIRL is officially coming to life.

What we're going to do is start a nerdy girl lounge/ support group for all struggling freelancers and talented digital artists out there. The goal of this group is to have a special place for us all to share our creative thoughts, hopes, and aspirations - and also create a place to hold ourselves accountable. Having a goal is one thing, having an ENTIRE team cheering you on making sure you accomplish it is another.

We're going to meet every Wednesday from 7-9pm at Cafe Solar in Hollywood.

Eventually we are going to expand to our own space, but first we're going to just start there since they have the BESSSTTT wifi in Hollywood.

There is so so so so soooooo much talent here in Hollywood, and I'd LOVE for you all to be able to interact with one another more, and feed off of each other's creative energy.

Whether you call yourself a blogger, artist, or lifecaster in my case - if you make a living off of the digispace you are MORE than welcome to stop by!! And dudes, the more the merrier!!! Bring your girlfriends, tell others - we want to combine our nerdy powers and help encourage each other to take the next steps to all go after our goals in life.

Separately we are all talented, but together we can do some SERIOUSLY epic things. I dunno about you, but I dig epicness.

WHOOP WHOOP!!!

Very very very VERY excited about this project. It is very very VERY near and dear to my heart - so come pick our brains, let's help each other out, and let's keep doing cool shit!

(And don't worry, if you're not in LA but want to attend, sit tight! We're going to eventually do a livestream of the event as well, but first we have to get everything up and running and work out the kinks!! Thanks everyone!!)

Let's hear it for the GIRLS!!!!
