Update #23: SXSW post-mortem, and C&S Flickr group.
Posted on March 20, 2010
SXSW was awesome. I met about thirty backers, a couple of project creators, and several administrators of Kickstarter itself. I crashed with one backer who was generous enough to offer her room, and received the best business card of the entire conference from another, who walked around taking Polaroids:
Thanks to everyone who tracked me down over the course of SXSW. I know I promised handshakes in my backer gifts, but I'm pretty sure I gave more hugs than handshakes. To which I say:
It was my first-ever SXSW, and I heard quite a few folks talk about how large it had become. Some groused about how different it was back in the day. Obviously I have no perspective, but I had a total blast, and am kicking myself that I didn't attend in previous years. It's amazing how approachable and affable everybody is, and how willing they are to extend their time to hang out with relative strangers. The developer of my favorite-ever iPhone app invited me to have a beer within five minutes of chat. The writer of my favorite-ever link blog invited me to dinner unprompted.
Maybe I'll meet more of you in 2011.
I also printed fifty more copies of Cadence & Slang Mini, and handed out every single one, along with a ton of stickers. If you (backer or no) received a copy, you can post photos of stickers or Mini at the new Cadence & Slang Flickr group.
Oh, and I'm about a month away from finishing writing.

Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
I'm a designer from Chicago. In late 2010, I wrote, designed, and published Cadence & Slang (http://cadence.cc), which was funded through the great generosity of folks on Kickstarter.
I really just wanted to use dealwithit.gif in a backer post somewhere.
Doh! Would also have bought you a beer if I'd known. It was my first year there as well. Definitely going back and doing more advance planning next time.
