Ladies and gentlemen, leave your umbrellas at home because it's almost time for the World Tour to descend upon sunny Los Angeles!

Location: Los Angeles, California, United States
When: Saturday, July 18th @ 2:00 PM
Where: Echo Park Lake (751 Echo Park Ave.)



That's precisely the spot where we'll be meeting! Just line up the palm trees, water fountains, and downtown Los Angeles. Or, you could head over to the cross streets of Glendale Blvd. and Park Ave. -- whatever's easiest for you.

If this is the first time you've heard of the deviantART World Tour, $spyed and I are holding deviantMEETs around the globe to demonstrate upcoming deviantART feature releases -- like the Groups system, Portfolio, and search engine enhancements. Just look at all the happy faces from past Tour stops -- they don't lie!

But wait, there's so much more!

Los Angeles is home to deviantART's physical headquarters which means there will be more admins and staff members in one place that you'll be able to shake a fish at!

Want to know how many servers it takes to run deviantART? Ask $chris. He'll be there!

Have an awesome idea for a new deviantWEAR or Prints product? Tell $Waveswinger and $trowlandson. They'll be there!

Do you talk about typography all day long? So do $liquisoft, $endosage, and $marioluevanos. They'll be there!

Are you a community fiend who dreams of llamas and dArama? $Stykera, $eStunt, $Dan14Lev do too. They'll be there!

AND SO MANY MORE! Srsly, there will be a lot of us! I'm not kidding.

Please join us!

Consider the deviantMEET a giant fieldtrip to your favorite park with a group of close friends. If you're a photographer, bring your camera; traditional artists should bring drawing tools; and so on and so forth. You might also consider bringing a picnic, snacks to munch on, or a bit of cash for local eateries. The more athletically inclined might choose to bring a football, soccer ball, etc. You know, anything that will make for a good time at the park. We'll do the rest!



With love from la-la land,

&
