i'm sitting at a machine on the sxsw trade show floor. i'm here because i was unable to extract any valuable information from any of the panels that are currently going on. i'm having a blast and have met many great people. to be fair, i will not link to any of them just yet, but will as soon as i return to homebase. i have spent some time hanging with the canadians jen and nicci. nicci, too, has blue hair. well, at least part of it is. tonight is the dfwblogs happy hour at jazz on sixth. hope to see some of you there if you aren't at the conference. it's open to all.

i know these entries are lame, but it's difficult to think in this environment. i'm meeting hundreds of people and constantly moving around from place to place. i would like to announce to those who would like to know that we will be having the chimchim/inkdeep house-warming party on friday, march 22nd. if you'd like to get an official e-vite, email me.

last night was fray cafe and it was a great success. unfortunately the venue was smaller than the turnout and people were turned away at the door, including one of the featured speakers. i have had many people approach me today to tell me how much they enjoyed my story. it feels good to know that i entertained some people.

more details on who i'm hanging out with and who i've met in a while....
