BlueBlood.com hottie Halcyon's Cocky Bastard Vision from the Pink Broadcasting Company did two entertaining videos on the 2007 SXSW experience. Halcyon has been going to SXSW basically forever, has MC'ed more of the SXSW Web Awards than he hasn't, and introduced me to the Interactive portion of the show when we did our "Turning Pink Into Green" panel back in 2005. We got to work and play...
..that'll teach me a lesson about not skipping a shave in the morning...
My (ex, but very amiable) wife Melissa really enjoyed meeting you at SXSW, she called me as soon as the panel was dismissed! At first she was concerned clients might see her in the "porn room", but in the end she said it was the most interesting panel she attended AND a client DID see her and asked her out for dinner. Fucking thanks. You go and break all the ice with that G rap on "turning pink into green" and now some skeezy suit guy is trying to get the mother of my child to coat his hangdown with tha stanky. WHY DON'T YOU JUST FUCKING PIMP HER OUT NEXT TIME?? Twenty percent is what I always charged...uh, wait...no no, scratch that...twenty percent is what I let her keep ;)
Next year I will have to make more of an effort to venture out there, if for no other reason than to have a few alcoholic beverages with Amelia and Forrest.

PS. I did hear this unsubstantiated rumor about some swag possibly coming my way....
:1orglaugh Bah, ha, ha. You should have seen the stunned look on my face when she introduced herself. It felt so out of context, even though, you working in tech and all, it wasn't really, and the amiable part threw me off a little. She's great though. I should do like a Blue Blood party suite or something next year. You and Forrest are around the same size, as I recall, aren't you?Quote:

It's hard to make your own life and accept it as good when you aren't really interested in the "success" benchmarks of your peers.Quote:
