I went, I counquered, I scored!

My souvenir and media kitThey had me sign in when I got there, then I went out and started wandering with the camera. A few minutes later one of the IKEA guys I met during the accidental meeting approached me saying they wanted me to have a media kit. I was smooth but inside I was squealing ‘They WANT me to have a kit! I’m REALLY media!’

I tried to stay out of the way of the pros, hung out on one wall shooting pictures of the people there as much as the IKEA folks. I got some nice pics as a result but some I missed good shots for trying to stay out of the way. If I had a better camera I could have tried acting like I was a big shot, but my 3+ year old minolta (4mp! still good!) wasn’t lying to anyone.

Once in a while someone would see the shirt and place me as “that woman with the website” and I’d reward them with a magnet. I apologized to a few people I got in trouble (oops! But I told them it was for the site!) but largely just hung and wooted (softly) during the speech at the right spots.

I have some more over on OHIKEA… but it was a fun day! I couldn’t get the pictures online fast enough.

I didn’t sleep last night much either.

    I work 2 miles from one Ikea, and live about 15 miles from another (Calif - gotta love it), so maybe I’m a bit jaded and will never approach your passion. But I admire what you’ve done. One person making a huge difference, something to truly be proud of. You should be getting more than a press kit too, the city or county should be treating you really well for raising the tax base. Well done!
