      Natali, we spoke at Gen Con, and I'd like to get you on the Gamer's Haven Podcast and chat a bit about this. Shoot me an e-mail, DM me on twitter, whatever. I got your business card, but no e-mail address, sadly ... ethan at gamershavenpodcast dot com.

      Thank you all sooooooooooo much!! I just wanna hug ya. You all know me so you know when I say that your support means oooodles to me, I really mean it. I have been kicking around the idea of seeing if any of the news outlets would be interested. One of the stations is following the cafe on twitter and I have a few anchors following my account personally. Guess I'm kinda hoping they see it and say "hey! this would make a great story!" :) If not, maybe I will give them a lil poke. :)

      Oh, contacting the news sounds like a good idea. I'm gonna hit all the folks I know and see if we can knock this baby outta the park.

      This is SO exciting, Natali! I believe in you, girl - YOU CAN DO THIS! UDC is going to be rad <3

      And I agree with Xander about trying to contact your local news! Great idea :)

      Xander Price-Ferber on June 15, 2010

      You've got a great start. Have you contacted your local news? This would be a fun human interest piece, that would give you more local exposure, and possibly gauge the local reaction to the idea.

      You're going to do great things.

A dork with a dream :) I'm a quirky, ambidextrously-brained, creative Geek Girl who happens to be a single mom to two geekling girls. I believe in community, the importance of play and that one person (even a dork) can make a difference. You may also know me as UberDorkGirlie :)
