Hearing the excitement again

(Terry wrote about me going to SXSW on the terrycrain@wordpress.com blog on March 11, 2008. I’m posting it here now because this year, we’ll be going together and he won’t be stuck in Michigan. YEAH!!!)

March 11, 2008 I was talking with Taylor last night, as she explained the sites and sounds from the national conference South By Southwest in Austin. The excitement in her voice and the smile I could feel on her face as she told me about the “25 foot white rattlesnake across the street”. I was bursting with joy and pride in her as I reflected on the events she portrayed to me. In those moments I was there with her and seeing all that the great state of Texas and all the up and coming gamers and bloggers and innovators in the field, had to show and offer.

If at all possible I would like to attend with Taylor next year. The insight these people have and the excitement they are putting forward is catchy and makes me want to be a part of that.

She told me the story of a presenter who has made a career of collecting peoples secrets. The stories he told, had the audience choked up ( as I was just from listening to Taylor describe the events). I had to go to the web site and check this guy out. It is wonderful what these innovators are doing.

I know that Taylor is in the right path for being one of these innovators and feel she is in the exact place she needs to be to pick up the guidance and information to move forward.

For more information go to SXSW.com and see the excitement for yourself.

December 11, 2008 I’m SOOOO looking forward to going to SXSW with Terry this year, but I have a feeling he doesn’t know what he’s getting into and will be blown away. Then again, he’s a planner so he’ll probably have a better idea of what to expect and how to navigate SXSW than I did my first year out!
