But what about her journey, her trials and tribulations? After all, fairyhood is essentially a job, like waiting tables, or litigating. What's it really like to be a fairy day in and day out?

There are a lot of lousy conferences that pander to sponsors. They end up creating an opportunity for boring speakers who are paid shills for their companies.

There are a lot of great technical bands out there, but when you go to see them live, they just kind of stand there. You get bored kind of quickly.
