Clambake of LAST month (that would be May)

I should really have posted this sooner but, as things tend to, it got put off.

The invite to Clambake came up last minute, but it was a good thing. And since it was nothing but a simple train ride into the city for me, it wasn't an upset. Collin got to come into town as well, giving each of us a sounding board.

I believe that we stirred up some interest over the course of the two hours that we meandered, spoke to students and dropped cards on tables. We collected cards from people who we didn't get to speak to and I put them into a mailing list for future use.

There was one person who was "yea, I'm going! I'm excited!" The opposite end of the spectrum was the question of money: how do I, as a young professional, get to Prague? That is a difficult question. Once out of school, there are less options for grants and you kinda have to work it out on your own.

The point in recruiting this early is to give people the chance to raise that money. It's still two years out, being June 2009 at the moment, giving time to put pennies and dollars away. But in a day and age where we're all putting pennies away to feed ourselves, who's thinking about an international trip two years from now?
