This was important in a lot of ways, but particularly it prompted me to go back to doing collaborative, peer reviewing of events in my local community. Particularly, those that are outside of my comfort zone, or not in cultures that I normally interact with. I have this collaborative event listing thing that I put together with other event organizers every week.

We invite a guest curators, so like one of San Francisco's great drag Queens. Let's find out what's interesting from his perspective. And so I came out of this, I was like, "Yeah. Actually, going to other events, and seeing what other people are doing, the problems they're struggling with, and the creative solutions they have, it's very hard to fold that into all the deadlines that we all face. And yet I feel it's just so necessary to do our work well.
