Before I head out the door to Austin for this amazing event to get the very best Social Media has to offer and bring it back home to you. Do you have any questions or special requests?
I can’t promise I’ll get to everybody or do everything, but it’s an exciting opportunity to learn, meet new people, and to take in the sights and sounds of Austin, the big sister city to my beloved Athens Ga. ๐

if you get tired of the crush of the festival and want a little more laid back atmosphere, say hello to the <a href=""http://www.elephantroom.com" elephant roomfor me.
Thanks for this lifesaving tip, Tracy!! I hear it gets wild and crowded. And I’m not THAT extroverted that a little quiet sit down time might not be exactly the right thing!
Am checking it out right now. ๐
My big question is will you pack me in your bag and sneak me in? I would be ever grateful! ๐
I will buy the coffee!
Will do! Just poke little air holes into the plastic bags. We’ll fit you up with air straws and even some airline peanuts if I can manage it. ๐
I really must get to this event one day. I’m heading to Dallas in July (the gods must be crazy…) and with this event falling during hockey playoffs with my kids? Yyyyyeah. It’s gonna be a couple years… ๐
My only request is that you have a great time and tell us all about it — who you met, what you learned, where the best parties were (!)… Wish I could hang out at the Elephant Room with ya…
Best!
Patricia
Thanks Patricia!! I hear you loud and clear with the kiddies’ hockey. ๐
Meanwhile, I’ll have a HUGE time and share all the lovely details!!! ๐ THANKS!!! <3
