[...] know if you have read this blog very much, I totally admire Havi Brooks. She just came back from a blogging convention thing where she totally just went with the flow and didn’t attend a single panel or discussion. I [...]

I’m glad you survived. I was thinking of you on the first day when people kept sending me twitpics of really long lines and really big lego pits.

Interesting that people run away when they want to meet you… I tend to send people running away screaming too, but I’m pretty sure it’s because I’ve worked really hard to make it so no one wants to meet me, like, ever. It’s not that I’m really mean, just that I’ve branded myself as mean to avoid being invited to social functions. Saves money on Valium, ya see. ;-)

Also, out of the twenty or so people I know who attended sxsw I haven’t heard one thing about a panel. In fact, I didn’t know there WERE panels. What I did hear about were cowboy hats. Do you and Selma have matching cowboy hats now? If so, I’m not sure I can be your stalker anymore.

Love,
Amy

Havi, you are so right about television. It is a box of negative! I gave up cable aeons ago, and I have never looked back. (I do enjoy the stuff that I have chosen to receive from Netflix. That's the beauty of Netflix! Cheaper, too.) I'm also totally with you on which of the text messages I'd respond to. That's the one I would send, too. Thanks, as always, for an entertaining and helpful post! Jen M. JenniferLynn Productions Jen M.s last blog post..Studio Update.

I really liked your comment about fear living in televisions. I work with many extremely talented individuals; yes they probably could have been rocket scientists, who are completely paralyzed with fear. Like you said they are capable, talented, and inspirational and should be destined for success. I think I am going to start recommending that they turn off the TV too.

Hooray! It’s good to be back.

@Joe: You said boondoggle! And yeah, I got more business-related stuff done this past week than in the past six months. But I can see how it seems like the world’s biggest scam. Next year you’re coming to Greece.

@Jeff: You said stupendous! And yes, it totally was.

@Sonia: You said misery bombs! I’m with you on the NPR thing. It’s the only way I get my news, but even that I find too be way overboard with the emotional manipulations.

@Riin: I certainly hope that a jerk wouldn’t have a duck, because that would make me look bad. No, Selma is a total sweetheart. You are correct!

@Chris: I’m glad somebody else loses their name tags. So embarrassing, but still better than wearing some fluorescent lanyard around my neck!

@Terry: I love Seinfeld. So there. That was hilarious.

Funny, my list of People To Hang Out With is pretty darn similar. (: It was lovely spending time with you and/or near you at SXSW. It sure beat the heck out of panel-hopping, that's for sure! (: Paces last blog post..Book Bonanza Wednesday! Chapter 10: Fierceness

There was a conference there this past week, wasn’t there? I was glad for it, because it filled in the time between sunny patios, pizza & beer, and long walks and talks with awesome people.

So glad I was able to see your wonderful self again, your delightful duck, and finally meet the stupendous Gentleman Friend.

Superb.

Tzaddi, I've had that happen to me too, NPR will run something and all of a sudden I have to pull over because I'm crying too hard to drive. Stupid news. I've gotten very handy at switching the channel for certain kinds of stories. At least NPR doesn't actively try to hurl the misery bombs at me before I can duck, unlike a lot of the local commercial stuff. Sonia Simones last blog post..Obey Me or Fail
