[...] If you don’t follow up with people you meet, you may as well not have met them. While I still think a follow up email is best, lesser options are possible like thanking them publicly over Twitter or a blog or (cringe) connecting on a social network. If you spam them afterwards, you’ll soon have an enemy for life. [...]

Hi Stephen, congrats on the NH move! But sorry you couldn’t make it down…would’ve been fun to catch up : (.

I actually won’t be in Boston for a while but I’ll let you know (Sept at earliest, I’m guessing).

Thanks for sharing this Jared, I wanted to go to the conf so badly, but it just wasn’t possible (what with moving to NH after the 7,000 mile trek this winter).
I would love to see that video as well, if you could keep me posted that would be fantastic.

BTW are you going to be in the Boston area anytime? It’s only 2 hours for me.

Aaron, I’m trying to get all the slides together that I can (not easy when everyone is so busy). And whenever the video is available I hope to link to it. Thanks for your interest and I’ll keep you in the loop : ).

Jared – forgot to ask if “Presenting Straight to the Brain” is going to be available for download at any point. Evgenya said she’d be interested in checking it out and I want to forward it to a few other folks who do presentations.

Randy, Don’t worry about thanking me–I’m so glad you came. And honestly you should’ve been one of the people on the list above. I really enjoyed spending time with you both at the lunch and on Monday night. If you’re ever out in DC I hope you’ll look me up. I’ll try to make it to Gnomedex this year and visit, too : ).

Aaron, the photos were great!

Great tip. In every case where I’ve organized anything it’s always been worth the time and effort.

Re the pics, sorry if they turned out fuzzy, I’m clearly no pro. :)

@Colleen I refuse to believe your age!

Jared-

One of my numerous action items that I’ve been remiss in acting on is thanking you for organizing a fantastic lunch for productivity birds of a feather. I got to meet and talk shop with a number of people whom I would not have met otherwise in a focused, intimate group.

Your organizational skills, thoughtfulness and execution speak volumes for you, your company and your product.

Sorry to have missed your panel, Presenting Straight to the Brain, finding all the worthwhile panels to attend at SXSW can be a bit difficult. I hope to catch the podcast version of it later.

Thanks again for organizing our lunch and it was great catching up with you in the real world again.

Cheers,
Randy Stewart
