Some of the coolest people I know came together recently to create an unprecedented organization. It’s a company of sorts, although not really. It’s an LLC, although only in so much as it needs to be recognized by the state. Beyond that, it’s a whole different animal.

(This is a recovered post from a while ago – my thoughts on SXSW 2008.)
I’m flying back from my honeymoon in Italy. My new wife is sleeping next to me, I have six hours still left to fly, and I kid you not, they’re playing a rerun of Wheel Of Fortune on the movie screen.
I realized that I never really wrote up anything regarding my experiences at the South By Southwest Interactive conference (SXSW 2008) in Austin just a few short weeks ago. I had meant to write on the plane ride home from Austin, but was simply too tired. I meant to write a post during the the week in between SXSW and my honeymoon, and never got around to it. Now, here I sit, and I’m realizing that it may have been good to cool off a little before mapping out my experiences. Most of what was written regarding people’s experiences at SXSW were immediate, gut reactions. Many were brilliant rehashings of what was an even more brilliant week. But I’m going to give you the three-week-later write up. It should be interesting to see what I remember, and what left a lasting impression on me.
