\"goretex\"<\/a>Checking my email yesterday I\u00c2\u00a0found an invitation to the Experience More Blogger Summit at Gore headquarters in Maryland. I’ll get a behind the scenes look at Gore (makers of Gore-Tex but also Windstopper and other fabrics), get to see and test new products and have questions answered at a “Myth Busters session” [I’m assuming that doesn’t mean that the MythBusters (TM) will be there but that they will test out myths for us].<\/p>\n

I’m taking them up on their generous offer and I’m bringing questions of my own, \u00c2\u00a0however Gore also specifically wanted to know about questions you might have.<\/p>\n

So this is where you can help me out. Perhaps you have technical questions or questions about company policy, future product plans, old product lines, Gore-Tex history or how to become a product designer or work in the outdoor industry? Or maybe you can come up with a MythBusters type question that they can test!<\/p>\n

I’d love to come armed with great questions to blow them away. Or barring that, you can have me ask, “What’s your favorite color?” \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I need to turn in questions by the middle of next week, so post away!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
