Last Thursday afternoon everyone from the studio loaded up and headed west. We were on our way to the Structures for Inclusion Conference in Dallas, Texas. This conference is focused on the social responsibilities of design. On Thursday night we stayed at the Blue Moon, a hostel in Lafayette, LA. It is a fantastic place, an old house with a bar and gardens outside, accompanied by good live music. This is their website www.bluemoonhostel.com . The next morning we had sweet potato pancakes for breakfast that I'm still craving. We continued on, got to Dallas about 5 pm, checked into the hotel and walked over to hear the key note speaker, Peter Fattinger. It was a great start to the conference. By the end of the weekend our heads were buzzing with excitement, dreams, ideas and a passion for everyone's livelihood. It was great to regain some focus on things I felt I'd lost. A new zeal for design! I suggest we all go to next year's SFI.
