Occam’s RazR

South by Deep South

by Ike

Sometimes, things just spill out of your mouth and take on a life of their own.

Like South by Deep South, for instance.

I got tired of hearing about all of those going to South by Southwest (SxSW), and Blogger Social, and TED, and any of the other big conferences where people pay big money to think big. So I created SxDS. And enough people are actually interested in such an animal, that it looks like we’ll actually have to do it.

So… if you have any interest in meeting up with some really fine communicators and thinkers (many of whom lack a drawl), then drop a note over at the SxDS website. We’ll post thoughts and work out the logistics to bring everyone together for an unconference for the ages!

I’d love to be at SxDS to meet you in person. But, seeing as I’ve just blown my travel budget for the first half of the year on SXSW, I will likely have to pass. Can you live stream it? I’ll join you on the other side of the camera

Columbus, Ohio is one of the largest test markets in the country as it represents one of the biggest slices of the U.S. population and is easily accessed from the entire country.

Bring it North and I will sponsor a Chili Cook Off.

Disclaimer: I’m closer to you than Columbus as Cincinnati is in the southwest corner of Ohio.

Ike,

Love the idea for this. Ever since RTNDA-not quietly went the way of the dinousar, my life has been quite dull. haha.

When a venue/date is set in stone for SxDS, I’ll do everything I can to get there and contribute whatever I can.

You know me well enough to know that Toronto is close to pretty much everywhere. Plus, it would be a good excuse to visit the folks.
