One of the best parts of any conference is meeting new and interesting people, with the added bonus of discovering synergies along the way.

At SXSW, the number of cool and interesting people is exponentially higher than at virtually any other conference I’ve attended.

But since I can’t mention them all here, I’ll just pick my favorite one from today.

Being a long-term NPR fan, imagine my excitement at meeting Nikki Silva, one of The Kitchen Sisters this morning. She was here at SXSW, promoting their new book Hidden Kitchens Texas and looking for online insight for their website.

How cool.

Speaking of cool, I’m popping off now to head over and see Lance’s SXSW session: Kick Ass or Suck: Escaping Internet Mediocrity, starting at 5pm in Room 19B. If you’re around, come on over and say hi.
