What is it with Charlotte and Video?



On Saturday, Sunday and Monday, the kirtsy team got together in Charlotte for a retreat. I heard rumors that it was going to be a "nap-cation" and that bubble baths would be the order of the day. But it was way better than that. Imagine 72 hours of non-stop twittering. And getting schooled on social media by the newest team member, Gwen Bell. (Note: Gwen can feel free to school me on anything she'd like, because recently she wrote about how I still look like I'm squarely in my 20's.)



Things you should know about Charlotte:

-Everybody lives in super-stylin, super-artsy houses with handmade dinnerware.

-Vast quantities of cooked-to-crispy-perfection-bacon and handmade-buttermilk-biscuits are eaten every day. -People stay up till like 4:00am and then wake up around noon.
-There are incredibly charming red-headed twin girls that show up now and again. Just to be charming.
-Although I heard the word "drought" come up a few times, Charlotte is as green as the blue lagoon.
-Everybody is friendly.

And in Charlotte, apparently people have a thing with video. Two videos were made of the kirtsy team on Saturday (one here, and another link coming). Another video was made of the kirtsy team on Sunday (link coming). And an additional video interview of the kirtsy team was made on Monday. Plus, Five Minutes for Mom put up a post about kirtsy — including 2 videos — also on Monday.




So. If you're going to the Queen City. Know that you will fall in love with the place. And keep your lipgloss with you. Because you may find yourself on camera. A lot.

I hate that I missed you in Charlotte. You helped start my blog addiction and although I've never left a comment, I really love your work.
