The DeWees Magic

This could spoil me...another Vegas weekend, another VO workshop! 2014 seems to be the year for 'em. Before the Spring is over, I will have attended four here in my home town. In a sense, local is good...because you can overdo the conference / meet-up / MasterMind / webinar / Stand-Up / Google...
