Got a Girl Crush On: Internet kismet
So excited to share this!
I (in Brooklyn) met Andrea (in San Francisco) on Tumblr. Andrea met Rebecca at IndieMart. Andrea introduced me to Rebecca, who is currently hosting pop-up art events across the country with her art & culture blog/shop/event series, BIG THINGS (say hello to her in Chicago on February 7th!). Rebecca and I toiled together via the interwebs to co-curate this amazing afternoon of art and skills (I organize The Brooklyn Skillshare which is a community-based, community-led, and community-building learning events organized and taught by Brooklyn residents)!
If you’re in Brooklyn on Saturday, February 11th–come out and say hi!
