I was going through my referral list on my Google Analytics account and this showed up as one of the entries: http://www.typophile.com/node/1501.

It sparked some fond memories I have of the event, especially about how motivated I was. I was 23 years old, just graduated from college, working freelance, and a relative "n00b" to the creative industry. I thought what better way to get exposed then to do something like BD4D. I personally didn't have any work worth showing an audience, but if I got a bunch of people together to show their great work, it would make me look just as good! Perhaps I would even find somebody that would be so impressed as to hire me.

I along with Adrien ended up creating a promotional site for the event, which is still up here. It turned out that the site, coupled with word-of-mouth, was really effective in marketing the event, and the auditorium was pretty much full. Plus it didn't hurt that admission was free.

Every now and again people ask when the next event is going to happen, and I always tell them to find me somebody who is local that you would like to see. If you have any thoughts on who you'd like to see should I decide to do another event, maybe not necessarily tied to BD4D, but just for fun, please feel free to post a comment.
