Yudu Nation Meetup!
I've been getting lots of emails and tweets asking if I'm hosting any sort of meetup at BlogHer. So I came up with an awesome plan involving silkscreens, free tote bags, huge prizes and rad-ness.
I'll be in the Shutter Sisters Suite — room #1237 at the Sheraton — on Friday and on Saturday from 2:00 to 4:00. I'll be there with a couple of Yudu Silkscreen Machines. (You may remember the awesome Yudu from the post I wrote about making U2 t-shirts and clipboards here.) Come say hello and I'll show you how to use the super cool machines. How to prep your image, how to burn the screen, how to print the image, and how easy it is to do the whole thing with the Yudu.
Best part: everyone that drops by gets to walk away with a silk-screened totebag -- for FREE!. I guarantee it will be your favorite souvenir from BlogHer. There will be 3 designs to choose from, and I'm creating them myself. They will be very limited edition. : )
Other best part: I'll be giving away Four Yudu Prize Packages to Four lucky winners. Each prize package is worth $400 and includes a Yudu Machine plus tons of extra accessories. Holy cow!
All are welcome. If you live in the Chicago area, come drop by and say Hello. Sheraton Towers, Chicago, Room #1237. Get yourself a free totebag and get a glimpse of the big conference. If you're attending BlogHer, drop by during a break or sneak away from one of the sessions. The demos will be short and ongoing, so you won't need to stay long. You won't want to miss your chance to win one of the big prizes -- and get your rad totebag.
I can't wait to meet you. Shoot me an email or leave a comment if you'll be dropping by. I want to make sure I've got enough totebags at the ready. Get your Yudu on at BlogHer!!

Hell yeah, I'll drop by.
Yudu and tote bags: SWEET.
Wish I could be there! I love my Yudu. :D
Will you post pix of the totes you made after the event...I'd love to see them.
I'm stopping by! I've always wanted to learn how to silkscreen... plus, it'll make me feel a tiny bit better for missing out on the opportunity to attend! THANKS!
I've been so curious about the Yudu. I have some questions so I'll definitely stop by!
I'm totally stopping by! I was thinking I would get a chance to try one out at the Craft & Hobby Trade show right after BlogHer. Do you know if they will be there?
Can't get better than silk screening and free totes... OK maybe if the totes were filled with free chocolate. But I'm definitely stopping by! :0)
I can't wait to see the Yudu in action in real life. I think I watched the demo videos on repeat for about an hour when they first came out. I'm still drooling over them.
I can't wait to see the designs you've made for the totes, too!
Gabby-you know I am coming to see you! Now get those kids busy making my bag. ;)
I'm coming! I can't wait! :)
What's all this fuss I hear about a Yudu? Must know.
I will definitely be stopping by - can't wait to meet you!
I'd love to come by...too far. & I've been eying this yudu thing. very tempting.
Sounds like fun - count me in!
Yeah! I LOVE this! I'll be there
Caryn
ohhh Gabby!!! I am so there.
I'm coming by ;) Yay for a conference in my stomping grounds. Even though I'm missing out I can still catch some fun :)
Dear Gabrielle,
Thanks again for the post on my artwork. I spread a little "blog love" for design mom this week too :)

I wish I could come over and learn silkscreening on a Yudu with you! I need a time-travel machine!
Best, Stephanie
I'll definitely try to stop - I'm liveblogging during both those times, but I'll do my best!
Lovesit! I'll be there.
I saw a Yudu for the first time on a trip out to Utah a few weeks ago, and I have been thinking about it ever since. Seriously coveting, in fact. I feel that I must eventually have one to preserve my sanity. It looks like so much fun to use!!! Thanks for the opportunity to win one!
wish I could go and meet you in person. any chance you'll be having a giveaway for any leftover totes to lucky readers?
I would love to take the Yudu out for a spin! My husband is an artist, too, so I think we could definitely give it a workout...

I so wish I was going. I had to cancel my trip and sell my ticket because it conflicted with my sister's vacation. My elderly mother lives with my sister and is now staying with us this month. I once again will live a wonderful experience vicariously through you!!
Oh I bet they are fabulous! I'll see you there!
I'll stop by! Definitely!

I learned to do this in my University but old fashion. Burning the screen with the sun rays, etc,...
Wish could be there thanks for sharing. Esther C.
I'm so excited to see this machine. Ever since I stopped producing my own line, I've been missing out on the fun of designing my kids tees. I'd love to manufacture on this much smaller and more managable scale!
Can't wait to meet you - I'll be there!
i'll try to be there. i have to catch a train back up north at about 2:30 so ....oh i hope so!:-)
i totally want to see this thing.
Will stop by for sure!
Oh yes, I will definitely be stopping by!
A free tote, AND I've been wondering for ages about the Yudu, so double-win for me! I'll be there.
we will drop by
Wow! I wish you were in the New Jersey/NY area! My Yudu arrived 2 days ago and now I am just looking at it and wondering what ink to buy...etc..and what to design! Overwhelm!
