Lunch was provided from Fresh Connections Catering and then I attended the podcasting panel before leading the &#8220;Writer&#8217;s Write-In Script &amp; Blog selection chat&#8221; with Lauren Brown (Fashion Grunge) and\u00a0Barrett Smith (The Morning After Zine). At the panel I was surprised to meet Dan Silverman, the creator of PoPville, the blog I nominated in the awards category. The conversation was very insightful and relatable to how we began and where technology is leading us in the future.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #fff; border-radius: 3px; border: 0; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.5) , 0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: 99.375%;\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BhR_5I6jU4d\/\" data-instgrm-version=\"8\">\n<div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 50.0% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;\"><a style=\"color: black; font-family: 'arial' , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BhR_5I6jU4d\/\" target=\"_blank\">Experiencing that AR life at DC Web Fest &#8212; also helped lead a great panel about writing, blogging, and the internet. www.carolynbelefski.com #dcwebfest #dcwebfest2018 #ar #capitolinteractive #games #education #entertainment #edutainment #art #ATT #acreativedc #writing #tech @dcwebfest<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\">A post shared by <a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/carolynbelefski\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Carolyn Belefski<\/a> (@carolynbelefski) on <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2018-04-07T19:37:39+00:00\">Apr 7, 2018 at 12:37pm PDT<\/time><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\" async=\"\" defer=\"defer\"><\/script><br \/>\nI also had the opportunity to experience AR technology and game demos.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-Ro5C4b-tZm0\/WsuzdSg1LyI\/AAAAAAAAEyY\/7hvcNklAtpISbf02gh6G2P-jihgiTGltQCLcBGAs\/s1600\/dcwebfest2018.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-Ro5C4b-tZm0\/WsuzdSg1LyI\/AAAAAAAAEyY\/7hvcNklAtpISbf02gh6G2P-jihgiTGltQCLcBGAs\/s320\/dcwebfest2018.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"320\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"832\" data-original-width=\"468\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>After the panel a bus was scheduled to take us to the\u00a0The Australian Embassy. The bus was running late, so after twenty minutes to waiting outside, I mentioned that we should walk. Only one person took me up on that, a man named Scooter, who I have not seen in probably eight years &#8212; back when I was a guest on his DC Geeks podcast. We ended up arriving when the bus arrived, so I&#8217;m glad we get to burn some calories and enjoy our time outside.<\/p>\n<p>It was cool to attend the\u00a0International Screening Block &#8212; we saw fantastic short films from around the globe. <i>Alice in Paris<\/i> was the first we saw and it is a delightful series that reminded me of\u00a0<i>Am\u00e9lie<\/i>.
