[The view of Trade Show Booth # 345 – 347 etc.]

[This is my offi­cial lan­ding page for SXSW. I’ll be kee­ping it at the top of my home­page for the duration…]

I will be spen­ding most of my time at the trade show booth. That’s the best place to find me. Booth # 345 – 347.

SATURDAY:
12.10 pm. Book sin­ging at the Bar­nes & Noble stand.
4.00pm My old highschool buddy, the direc­tor, Dave Mac­ken­zie has a film pre­mier I’m going to.

SUNDAY:
Lunch. Bar­be­cue with Sco­ble, Tony Hsieh and Rackspace…

I’m doing something with Loopt…

I have a new line of busi­ness cards…

NB. I’m wri­ting this on the hoof, so if it all looks a wee but incom­plete. Too busy run­ning around, trying to see Everybody…

   Enjoy the craziness!

   Dear Hugh,
   I love the idea of your cards.

   I’m deci­ma­ted that it costs bet­ween 4 and 5 times the purchase price of the cards to ship them to Aus­tra­lia. There is no need for such a high ship­ping price (US$85 for 250 cards); it feels like your sup­plier is not trying. They are limi­ting your suc­cess in inter­na­tio­nal sales.

     Andrew, I’ll look into it, but I don’t own or con­trol their busi­ness model, so we’ll see…

   I know you were in a hurry, but “book sin­ging” brings a whole new con­cept to audio books! Unin­ten­tio­nal lan­guage can intro­duce a new pers­pec­tive on mun­dane things.

   I’m star­ting to feel like the only one in the world who wasn’t at SXSW! The trade show booth sounds like a cool place to be … hope­fully you’ll have one next year I can stop by!
