You know you've been traveling too much you don't even know where you are. Yesterday I approached the stage and practically hollered, Helllllllllllllllllo DC!! And then hundreds of faces stared at me and I heard a cricket in North Dakota. The minute it came out of my mouth, my feet turned into two pieces of concrete.

I was in Chicago.

I wanted to melt. So then I prayed, DearsweetbabyJesus…please make the ground swallow.me.whole. Well, the ground didn't inhale me, so I immediately backpedaled and was all Chicago! Chicago! OH HOW I LOVE CHICAGO! Thankfully, the group of photographers was insanely awesome and didn't give me too hard a time.

Yesterday was the last stop on the WPPI Road Trip Tour and I'm so thankful to have experienced such an amazing opportunity to meet so many new people. I love this industry and I'm incredibly proud of where it's going. A couple days I updated Twitter with the following:

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to work “I pity the fool” into yesterday's presentation, but we went into the city last night and what did I see?! Ummm, THIS:

Oh, Chicago, YOU DO LOVE ME!! It's like you gave me a sign.

Here's a couple photos JD snapped from last night's presentation…

Happy Friday!
