The time to launch GiryaGirl.tv approaches, and I just have to say that Amanda Salas and her crew are so much fun - we became friends on twitter shortly before the Orlando RKC and had a blast being complete nerds about it. The DragonDoor.tv shows have given me a lot of ideas of how I want to run my own - and this episode is of course my favorite - the Orlando RKC certification … [Read more...] about Favorite episode of DragonDoor.tv and plans for GiryaGirl.tv
