Wow! This does sound like fun! You should figure out how to do webcast classes and charge a small fee (like $5) to benefit your charity. I would sign up just so I could say I was taking a class in New York from a true expert/designer. Have fun!

New Yorkers have all the fun! :) This looks like a blast- too bad I’m down in Texas! Post your creations so I can live vicariously through them!

I would love to attend this event… but when I clicked to RSVP it said it was “sold out” my friend and I might still try and swing by to see if we can join in on the fun…. is this a bad idea?
I did not realize it was something you had to have tickets for that would sell out!

if i were closer i’d swing by for a little bit, but it’d take me a good hour just to get there.

Hey Joelle- Come on by. It’s first come first serve, but I’d love to meet a fellow BurdaStyler- ask for Carol when you get to the door! Hope to see you there. It may be better to skip the first session and come by at 1:15p when a bit of the beginning rush has disappeared. Carol (BurdaStyle’s partnership pusher)
