This post kept reminding me of something a PR friend offhandedly mentioned over a poker game. I was bitching about how many freaking conferences there are. She said: If it weren't for conferences, I'd never get laid. Now that I just typed that, I really want to see it on a conference brochure testimonial. Starfucker Convention 3.0 anyone? I wonder who would want to put their logo on the condom packages for the shwag bag? imagine what must go on at TED….

wait, never mind.

I got halfway through this entry and started becoming worried that perhaps people I knew might end up in the article. Then I realized that this wasn't likely because they ostensibly travel in different circles. Then I realized after reading the comments and thinking about it that it was likely that at least a few of the people I've met go there. Then I felt a bit ewwy and hoped it wouldn't result in a sex chart, and then I was relieved to know that I wouldn't be on this one either... The only contribution I can make to this conversation is to say that it's not networking if it involves your genitals. It's something else, and if you do it right, the 'long tail' that results will be an amicable relationship that does qualify as networking. I could name drop like a complete slut, but one of the reasons why I could do that is because I never do. There's an odd combination of anti-marketing for you.

I'm not famous. I am very sincere when I compliment someone, even if it isn't 'cool'. I don't need to be famous, or 'micro famous'; I just want to learn more so that I can be better at my job. This is why I @ someone famous on Twitter. I've never been to SXSW. I thought I wanted to go in 2010 to learn, but I may be changing my mind about that if the only reason people go is to get famous.

(Actually, all the comments were worth reading - a rare occurance!) I was in the music end of broadcasting for many years during the progressive-rock era (when FM radio mattered), and the vibe was the same even if the buzzwords were different. Some things never change. By the way, isn't SXSW (easier to write - fewer letters in this Twitter era) a music festival? Does anyone remember who played, or was everyone too busy starfucking?!?

Oh, did I mention I went to SXSW? It was SO great spending time with you, although I will say that I would have liked at least 3 more hours of that conversation on the porch. You promised to fix all my problems while we were roomies together, and I am STILL in need of your goddamn information, which means I will have to keep reading this blog, which will take me away from conversations with Robert Scoble, Daniel Pink and Seth Godin. Damn you, woman. :) Holy crap, I kept meaning to respond to this post, but I was so busy talking with Guy Kawasaki, then I had to check in with Chris Brogan, then Kathy Sierra wanted to go horseback riding, and Tony Hsieh from Zappos was feeling a little out of sorts, so I had to get him grounded and on his way, and before I knew it, the time flew by.
