I will be attending and will be bringing the love of my life, my 8 mo. old son, Mr. Inspector General, the chief designer of my work and the muse for my inspiration. Bring the swag, (he loves the Etsy stickers for his vintage diaper (bag) suitcase,) and I will be bringing baby love and showing off my latest monsters and zines! Any other single Moms in the East Bay? I am in Castro Valley. Let's take BART and represent!

I'm a Canadian who was disappointed that you weren't going to be in Vancouver during the Canadian tour...but is now thrilled to learn that you'll be in San Francisco at the same time I'll be vacationing there! I know that I have plans with friends that evening, but I'll see what I can do about scheduling to possibly attend the Etsy meet-up. I'm not optimistic that I'll have the time, but if I can manage it: Ammmmaaaazing! That being said, I fear that my concerns as a Canadian seller are much different than those of American sellers, and were likely already brought up during the Toronto and Montreal meet-ups.

June 2, 2009 at 12:37 a.m. silverenso

yay! I will def try to make it!

June 2, 2009 at 2:39 a.m. Luna66

It looks like I'm going to just miss the event: I'll be flying home to SF from Renegade Bklyn on June 9th and my plane lands at 6pm-- bummer! However, since I'll be in my sunny, Mission studio all the rest of the week, I invite the Etsy crew to stop in and say hi. Get in touch with me for details.

Maria was great. She didnt try to whitewash anything, was so forward about where the site is going, what is on the priority list, etc.

I left the meeting super pleased, knowing about all the new features in the works to make the buying experience more streamlined and easy!

woot to Etsy and all the radical people I met last night!
