It was my first one, and the cool part was being in the same space with fellow bloggers whose work I've long admired for the first time.
I got a chance to make some new friends and see old ones. Talking to Cleve Jones, one of our history makers Friday night at the welcoming reception was priceless.
It was nice to see Philadelphia mayor Michael Nuitter, and have the opportunity to talk to Gloria Casarez, the director of the Philadelphia office of LGBT Affairs.
Our tweets at #LGBTmedia13 were the number one trending topic of Twitter for a few hours on Saturday, so you my wish o check out what different peeps were saying.
It was a wonderful experience that I hope I'm blessed the be in the position to take advantage of once again.
But it's time to head back home better able to talk about the issues of immigration, again, labor, and international issues and incorporate that knowledge into the blog posts I write. It will hopefully lead to some opportunities to collaborate with other fellow journalists
But it's time to reluctantly say goodbye to Philadelphia and come back home to Houston.
