Shout Outs for SXSW
I had a real good time at SXSW. It was finally a chance to meet some people that I had never met in person but had interacted with online. I kicked off the first day with an early panel and ran into my friend Blake Killian of Voodoo Ventures. We game planned a bit during the panel and decided on what we were going to hit that day. After the panel, we went and talked to Ryan Carson of Carsonified for a minute and then headed off for lunch. After lunch I ran into Chris Schultz of Voodoo Ventures and we found Blake again and headed over to Austin Barcamp.
At Barcamp, I met Blake Burris of Corazon Labs and he has an app up his sleeve. I don’t want to say too much about it right now because he is still working on some details but it is going to be pretty slick and useful. That’s kind of hard to say both of those adjectives about most web 2.0 wannabes. I also ran into Jeff Corkran of InnerEcho and it looks like we need to do some work together. I have a few ideas and Jeff’s company may be able to help me execute.
I also met Brian Oberkirch of BrianOberkirch.com and he always has solid information. His panel was cool because it was relevant. It was about running an internet company outside of the valley. Told you it was relevant…..
