I bet! Learn anything? Perhaps get some networking and potential future jobs?

maybe. I just had the good fortune that the first people I talked to were the old school gang of refresh DC.

and then I found out that they own a really cool design company... and one is on the board of directors for the Art Directors Club of DC

Perhaps a reason to stay in the area. Whats the art scene in DC like? Down here it's pretty much nothing.

the design scene is just starting to evolve to make a name for itself. There's a bunch of great people out there.

Probably the best known design firm we have in SC is upstate in Greenville called "Brains on Fire" there's a few in Columbia coming up too.

I've heard of a few people in Greenville. They have Refreshes in Greenville and Columbia too
