Dear Blog Readers,
It’s not you, it’s me.
I arrived in NYC on Monday and this is the second time I’ve sat down with wifi.
So when today’s keynote speaker mentioned the value of blog subscribers I started hyperventilating. My subscribers. I love you. Don’t leave me. I’m just in this city with huge buildings and all I want to do is walk around smiling at everyone and analyzing their confused faces.
And then there’s the classes that are brilliant and thought-evoking and I want to change the world but I can’t sit down long enough to write about it because after the classes there are networking events and then two of my favorite people ever live down the street. And they like beer pong. And so do I. And the lights are just so shiny and everything is so expensive and fun and then my alarm rings and it’s time to do it all over again. I’m exhausted and hyper all at the same time.
I’ll be home on Monday and true to my introvert nature, I’ll be ready to lock myself in the bear cave I occasionally sleep in and type and type and publish.
I promise I have great things to say about St. Patrick’s Day and cabbies and salsa and John Cusack. Always John Cusack. Microsoft Word just suggested “John Custard,” see, that’s post material. Shit.
Don’t leave me. And if you really miss me. Maybe you should buy this t-shirt.
Except it doesn’t really exist. You know, because I’m busy!

Oh Jenny. Don’t you know by now, we’re only friends with you because of your stories. The more places you go the more stories you have for us. Tee-hee!
Have a fabulous time in NYC. We’ll be by our computer screens waiting with held breaths and clinched hands for you return.
Love it Andrea! I had a great time and I’m back safe and sound, ready to sleep for two days, but I’m sure that will work itself out.
bohzo Jenny
I LOVE your blog. I will tweet your blog three times a day with my silly quotes about Geronimo. I am not at all sure if this will help you or hurt you but I guess I will find out. I will ask all my wild and rambunctious followers to retweet you to china and back.
I have to take any follower I can get just like I would take your two cents if you offered it to me. I always go rate Mrs. H’s photos and try to tweet out her biscuits. I figure it’s the least that I can do for you two having to put up with me.
I’ll stop writing now so you don’t have to get a twitter retaining order out on me. Have a great day and I will come back on Monday.

Bodewadmi! You’re the coolest ever, although when you say you’re sending “wild, rambunctious followers” I’m a little nervous, haha. I’m sure it’ll all work out though.
Don’t worry. I’ll still be here when you get back. I miss NYC, so I’ll wait patiently to hear your stories.
I’d love to see the looks on people’s faces when you smile at them. New Yorkers don’t get that at all.
Thanks Leigh! If only I can remember all of the things I thought about while I was there… glad to see you’re sticking around, I swear I have some stories if I can keep my eyes open.
The lights in NYC are pretty…but then you get the whiff of hobo urine and you snap back into reality.
Luckily this happens just in time to dodge the police horse poop in the middle of Times Square.
Good times. Good times.
I got a whiff of hobo poop yesterday and it nicely accentuated the urine. I must tell you.
“concrete jungle where dreams are made” or something like that rockin the JayZ ?
I am concerned, however, 2 post titles recently with a variation of the word “kill”
Intervention?

I so listened to that song while walking through Times Square. No shame. I’m back in sunny Boca now so I will discontinue using such profane language.
Put the damn laptop down and enjoy yourself some more! I’m going to NYC next week and plan to be totally fucking idle when I’m there!
I feel like I’ve been so dead to the Internet. Hope you have a great time in the big city. I’m freaking exhausted.
Really liked the style of this post. I could feel the hyper-activeness in it. Sometimes the best posts are written in 5 minutes or less.
Thanks Robby! Just saw your newsletter in my inbox today. Looking forward to actually reading emails and catching up on what’s new with you!
Hi guys,
I love the t-shirt. Maybe you should sell it. LOL!!!
Kind regards,
Sam

Haha, well you know, I haven’t sold too many yet, but maybe this could be the one?
So this chick that was in the group I went to dinner with the other night leaned across the table covered in cheesey quotes from the Forest Gump movie and threatened to tell everyone about a cowboy hat incident if I didn’t subscribe to this blog. She kinda scared me a little so here I am.
Cheers!

Hahah, glad to see you made it by Levi! I need to start using force more often. This subscriber count needs to grow some more.
I’m a stayin’
Quietly though. Busy too. Way too busy, need a break!
Woo! Good to “see” you again Charles. How are things? I’ll have to poke ya on Twitter to get back in touch.
