I just got home and am about to head to bed and back to normal life tomorrow. Once again, I had a blast in Austin and just wanted to give some blog love to all those that we met and hung out with over the last few days. The sessions are what attract me to the conference but it’s the experience that keeps me coming back. In no particular order…

• John Wiseman (former 76er)
• Shawn Pucknell and Evan Jones from FITC (see you guys in April!)
• Jonathan Snook (fellow Ottawan and all round smart guy)
• Stephen and Ricky from New Zealand’s RESN (congrats on the trophy)
• Dominique Lussier (another Ottawan that unfortunately we didn’t meet until the final flight home from Washington D.C.)
• Caroline from 15 letters (I barely talked to you but I remember where you said you worked… I have a mind like a steel trap)
• David Nunez
• Genevieve from Montreal (of course the steel trap does get rusty from time to time…)

And the countless other people from all over the world who I chatted with… you’re all a huge part of why SXSW is such a worthwhile event.

Oh and how could I forget… mad props to CATSA for confiscating all my toiletries on the way to Austin.  Another national security threat averted!  Glad I could do my small part.
