An Anti-Confession of Days Not Written
Share My name is Elizabeth Potts Weinstein, and it has been six days since I have written. Six days since my last paragraph, phrase, journal entry, blog post, physical expression of my creativity, mental rambling, angst, poetry, rant, or endless diatribe. And I am bursting. Overflowing with stories, with metaphors, with lessons only partially learned [...]
Surrendering to F*ck3 & Other Nightmares of Live Events
Share I have all kinds of logical reasons why doing an event would be a terrible idea for me & my business. The huge amount of overhead. Out of pocket expenses & personal risk. The fact that many (most?) events lose money – and even those events that make money usually profit less than the [...]
Finding Your Irresistible Truth
Share Guest Post by Sarah Robinson. “You walk in, plant yourself squarely on both feet, look the other fella in the eye, and tell the truth.” —James Cagney on acting As I read over that quote, I realized that it could stand alone as a post, with nothing added. But then I wouldn’t get to [...]
My Many Affairs, Far From Home
Share It’s true, I do have an apartment in San Francisco. My first grown-up private space where I make all the decisions, full of white walls and serenity and only those things with which I have fallen in love. But that is not the only place where my soul is at peace. Where I explore [...]
#SXSWi pt 2: People Are Human
Share This post started out as a post-sxsw rant. Against how some people got big as a result of being in the right place at the right time but are not really going anywhere, so now they have that defensive “look how cool I am and how many big A-lister names I can drop” thing going [...]
#SXSWi pt 1: Unconsummated Fangirl Stalking of @gapingvoid
Share So generally speaking, I don’t get intimidated by anyone. You make a zillion dollars more than me, are decades older, have a blog with a billion readers? Awesome. I’m much more concerned whether you are a non-idiot who is funny & has something interesting to say. I pride myself on being able to talk [...]
Why SXSW? Why Go to Live Events Anymore?
Share Right now I’m in SFO airport about to board a plane to Austin (via Las Vegas) for South by Southwest Interactive (SXSWi). But in the age of social media, of being able to connect with people via twitter, facebook, phone, email, skype … why do we need to go to live events at all? [...]

The EPW Bucket List: Who Wants to Join Me?
Share What’s a bucket list? A “bucket list” is everything you want to do before you “kick the bucket” — everything you want to do before you die. The first time I made a bucket list was in my freshman year of high school. It was 1989. Sitting in the back of an auditorium filled [...]
