It’s funny that I read this after I got back from SXSW. I first met you at Social Media Camp San Francisco in mid-July of 2008. I had been truly immersed in SM for a month when I attended this event and due to an overload of reading, I knew who you were. After your presentation, which I thought was awesome, I went up to you to say hi and introduce myself. You were so genuine and thoughtful and really made me feel like you cared. Two months later at BlogWorld you and I passed in the hall and you said hi. I was like “wow, I think she really remembers me!” Now this year at SXSW, I ask you for an interview for @100Interviews and you say sure and we’re running through the bar at the Driskill trying to find your pink hat to put on Kevin Rose’s head to take a picture. This has way more to say about who you are and not what you do. Glad I know you Erica.

I understand what it’s like to feel uneasy sharing such a personal story, but I appreciate the fact that you did. I’m also glad I had the chance to meet you this year at SXSW. You were awesome to be around — plus, Jeremy Tanner vouches for you. That’s all it takes in my world.

I can’t wait to meet you IRL now. This seals it. Your writing is so concise & beautiful, Erica – seeing your boldface titles o’posts in my RSS reader is like finding a ten-spot in my mothballed spring jacket. I couldn’t sleep last night looking forward to reconnecting w/ my TX’n buds @ sxsw. & after working in ATX w/ musicians, I had*exactly* the same experience – made a conscious decision to stop building artificial walls around my heroes & recognize that true stars are often already in our orbit.
Your fan,
