Funny - here at work at the Student Loan Network, I just had a meeting with our marketing director about a press release.

PodCamp DC Review

PodCamp DC was a fantastic event held on April 19, 2008 at the Art Institute of Washington. A huge hat tip to AIW for offering the venue and helping out with logistics. Hats off as well to organizers Tammy Munson, Joel Witt, and Ernie Ambrose.
