The Bends | March 19, 2007

Now that I’ve semi-recovered from SXSW, I want to thank everyone who attended our panel, Ethan and Erin for making me look smart just by sitting next to me, and most of all, Greg for asking me to be on it in the first place. Website’s coming soon, so stay tuned.

If you’ve never been to SXSW Interactive and you care at all about things webular, I’d suggest you sign up for early notification now and get ready to book your badge and hotel come September. I’ve never been to an event where I felt more valued—professionally and personally—by my peers, most of whom are absolute rock stars (only without the inflated egos). Leaving is always difficult, because out here in the real world, you don’t always feel that way. At SXSWi, you get a concentrated dose of admiration and respect. Enough to get you through an entire year.

Well, almost.
