HOPErevo in NY Times. Sort of.
July 24...(at) the annual BlogHer conference many of the men’s bathrooms at the Westin St. Francis Hotel here were turned into women’s bathrooms. The stalls were lined with note cards featuring messages like “You are perfect.”
Ha! Not to toot my own horn, but, toot! Those were mine. I was at Blogher spreading the gospel of Squarespace v5 and spoke about the HOPErevo project on the Positive Posting panel. Of course, I had to leave hope notes. :-) Only ONE of them said 'You are perfect'. For you BSG fans, yes, that was a total nod to Baltar. I made a handful that said 'You are beautiful' and threw in a 'You are perfect' because I was deliriously tired and thought it was funny. Yay for geektastic hope notes represented in the NY times!

Hurray for HOPErevo!
I didn't see the actual notes in the bathroom, but as soon as I read that article a few weeks ago I thought that they had HopeRevo written all over them!
Hey, Krystyn. I wish I would have found one of those notes! It was great to meet you at BlogHer. I did an opus on the event today and somehow, duh, neglected to mention you, so I will give you a shout out in an upcoming blog (I'll let you know), hoperevo is an amazing project.
Got a photo you can email me? I'd love to consider mentioning you in the magazine (don't worry, won't publish it, just want to attach a face to the project)/
