CreativeMornings Edmonton

CreativeMornings is a monthly breakfast lecture series for creative types started in New York by Tina Roth Eiesenberg (Swiss-Miss.com). Each event is free of charge, and includes a 20 minute talk, followed by a group discussion and Q&A. The gathering begins at 8:30am with the topic presentation starting at 9:00am and everyone taking off for work by 10am. CreativeMornings now has chapters in approximately 40 cities around the world, including New York, Chicago, London, Zurich, LA, San Francisco, Berlin, Auckland, Milan, Paris, and Edmonton among others. The Edmonton chapter of CreativeMornings is run by Brandon Webber (brandonwebber.com) and his dedicated team of volunteers.

To say there is no worth in learning a language that isn’t economically useful is like saying there’s no point in being friends with somebody unless they’re going to help you get a better job. It’s a spectacular, cynical miss of the point.

Rhona NicDhùghaill, “Don’t Neglect the UK’s Indigenous Languages”

The whole article is great, but this quote is especially stellar.

We were SHOCKED when Campers Village brought out Smartwool Charley Harper socks AND a $10 gift card for every attendee last Friday. That was definately one of the best surprises we've ever recieved from someone!

If you love the socks, you can find them at campers-village.com or tweet a thank you to @campersvillage
