I decided to decline the invitation to the NOLA conference because I wasn't able to meet the cost which have become even more exacerbating due to the fall of the CND dollar. Regardless, going to tech conferences really helps a start up build a network and align itself with where the industry is headed and what new opportunities are becoming available. I found a conference that offers affordable student tickets happening in NY in May so I've set my eyes on that.

In the meantime I'm switching gears to focus on setting up the business foundation of LOUD and putting the money all you lovely folks donated to covering things like business registration, copyrighting etc. I greatly appreciate the support! I'll continue to keep y'all posted, keep sharing LOUD on social media it really helps :)
