I’ve eaten about 3 actual meals in 6 days I’ve been to 3 panels/sessions throughout all of SXSWi08. I’ve now heard the phrases: “@alexknowshtml, right? I totally follow you on twitter! *high five*” and “someone told me I need to know who you are”. Weird. I’ve known who the unicorn was all along. I’ve had more ah-ha moments than I can count. I’ve jumped the line. More than once. I’ve rick-rolled an RV full of people. I’ve hugged people in real life that I’ve only ever interacted with online. I’ve rolled up on a larger-than-life town with a larger-than-life posse from Philadelphia. I’ve experienced a real world meetup of the global coworking email list I’ve disagreed with people, and was disagreed with. I’ve sucked (like, pathetically sucked) at bowling while the entire IndyHall team kicked an incredible amount of ass, all along showing serious IndyHall pride. In the form of a can-can dance to bohemian rhapsody. I’ve consumed so much caffeine that I literally began to vibrate. I’ve been inspired, and I had opportunities to inspire. I’ve successfully completed the co-leadership of a core conversation about coworking. I’ve exercised my undeniable ability to throw one hell of a party by taking over an empty bar called the Mooseknuckle, and filling it with a couple hundred of my closest friends + Robert Scoble. 2 nights in a row. Gary V and his brother AJ fanboy me almost as much I fanboy them. I’ve shook hands and shared passions with my peers. I’ve was reminded how smart my friends are. I’ve was reminded how lucky I am. I’ve brainstormed. It thunder-stormed. I’ve drank wine from at least 4 different types of containers. Only one was really meant for wine. One of them was the bottle the wine came in. I‘ve slept on a ranch with goats. I mean, the ranch I slept on had goats present. You know what I mean. I’ve put my foot in my mouth. Sorry. I’ve found some emotions that I’d ignored for a long time. I’ve reminded myself of the perspective I’d been searching for. I’ve been stunned, absolutely honored, by a comment on my previous post from Kathy Sierra.

You gave me plenty to think about, too! As for Gary, well, I love that there was someone there who so completely nails the things that matter... he is *deeply* inspiring on many levels (thanks Mel, Brain, Ryan, etc. for putting FOWA together). I really could stop talking about all this and simply say, "Just go pay close attention to what Gary is doing!" He teaches and motivates his viewers/customers/fans in unique ways, and everyone wins. His 'users' have richer, higher-res experiences with wine (and have fun in the process), and he gets to be successful at doing what he loves and believes in. Thanks again for this post. Maybe we'll meet up at SXSW? Wow — what a wonderful write-up. You gave me plenty to think about, too!
