SXSW hasn’t even started yet and I’ve had quite a day. I got into Charlotte ok, although the plane did have to attempt the landing a second time due to another plane being in the wrong place. This is the second time this has happened to me in Charlotte and it is always slightly unnerving.
Before I took off I sent a DM to Jeff Pulver (140Conf, Vivox, Vonage) asking if he knew of anyone. Jeff is always massively helpful and I saw him helping his friend Geo Geller out trying to get to SXSW as well. Jeff almost immediately got back in touch with me and referred me to Alan Weinkrantz in San Antonio. When I touched down I emailed Alan and he called me back almost instantly and offered to help not only get me to Austin, but a place to stay for the night.
For this I am highly thankful and appreciative. I’m on standby for doing directly to Austin, but if that doesn’t work at least I know I’m in good hands.
