...those pics were great! :) - JA Castillo

The close-up is the keeper. I dig it. - David Herrold

Adrian took them for me. I was bored this morning and thought, "Oooh, fashion shoot!" LOL But it's hot and the lighting sucks so I'm make him take more later this evening. - Admiral Anika

Great pics. The one on the left makes me laugh. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

Here's the rest of them: http://friendfeed.com/fabooma... - Admiral Anika

Sexy mama! - Nurse Katie

The Rock will be Col Kurtz. According to sources, it will have more "family appeal" for a wider audience. - David Herrold

Disney-ed: "I love the smell of flowers in the morning." - Jemm

Disney will also be remaking Easy Rider without all the drug references and violence to make it a G-Rated film for the whole family. Tim Allen will be playing the Peter Fonda character and John Travolta will be playing the Dennis Hopper character. - David Herrold

Jemm: not to forget. the surfing becomes ballet dancing. And the napalm leaves everyone re-vitalised and daisy-fresh. - Roberto Bonini

We joke, but this could totally happen.... - David Herrold

So true. I dig the Monty Python "Killer Bunny Rabbit" slippers. Very close to buying a pair. - David Herrold

Yes, I saw those last night, wondered if I could get them for Mother's Day. - Admiral Anika

So you love this domain, too: http://www.buttplugs.com ? :P - Jemm

I want...no NEED a 3-way butt blaster. Sounds like a fun ride. - Admiral Anika

Add http://www.banana.com to that list. - Vijayendra (V-Mo) Mohanty

Bummer. Hope you can squeek by and make it anyhow. - David Herrold

Oh, Robert. :( - Mona Nomura

Uhoh... - Tabz

Oh no! You'll miss the DandyID / Brightkite party on the 16th! - sara olive

What? Bummer...I was looking forward to meeting you there. - Mark Krynsky

Eldon: because if it isn't bringing in revenues or increasing audience I won't be doing it. - Robert Scoble

Jim: yes. Next year is going to be tough for events. - Robert Scoble

Being a possible vendor at events, the one thing I do know, is the best possible future customers will be at these events...if they're spending money to be at a show, they must be investing in their business. But not even sure I can go this year. I even know of one conference that was moved from April to September in hopes people will more likely attend at that time. - Scott Sorheim

Scoble - i just emailed you about a celebrity charity event for SXSW that we want you a part of. it will increase audience. lemme know when you get the email. we had a few recording artists, an actress and "other leading blogger" confirmed...more to come as just only started getting the word out this morning. - Christine Lu

Robert: I blogged about the impact on trade shows here - http://www.thetechnewsblog.com/2009... - Jim Connolly

I just signed-on for SXSW today - paul mooney

Robert: Maybe you can take a cue from @jowyang and start hosting networking tweetups in your area to help eager professionals find good jobs? Call it WhoAreYouCamp! You are in a unique position to promote a lot of events locally that will help your local community and inspire your readers globally. - Daniel J. Pritchett

would Fast Company let another company sponsor your trip to SXSW? is it a cost issue or a focus issue? - Christine Lu

what happened 'today' specifically? - Mrinal Desai

Christine: it is both. - Robert Scoble

Mrinal: what happened today was a rethink of what we will be doing at Fast Company. - Robert Scoble

Robert, glad they kept you, shows you have proven value to their strategy. - susan mernit

Yeah: SXSW is hard for me to justify because the attendees are very heavily people I hang out with anyway and it is very heavy with bloggers and influentials. I love it because it is a big party but I can't justify doing that this year. I totally agree in focusing on smaller events and on events that will help people get jobs. - Robert Scoble

That's right! I'm not going either. Woohoo! - Veronica

You should totally go to PAX 2009, Robert. - Alex Scoble

why don't you do your own conference - you probably got enough branding for scoblecon! make them come to you and charge em back for all the years. - mal

I'll send you some BBQ if you cant make it. - Jim Turner

Robert, do you think that even if there will be less attendance at SXSW it will also mean that there will be less interest about this event? May be it would be right choice to go there as those who cannot come would appreciate your coverage? This way you will get more visitors to Fast Company. - Taavi Uudam

Taavi: SXSW is a conference for bloggers and web pros. I bet you will hear more about it than nearly any conference in the world. Veronica: we should do something fun together. - Robert Scoble

Maybe we'll have an anti-SXSW Tweetup :) - Veronica

well for me it is the people i like to hang out with but dont see that often ;) - Nicole Simon

This is my first year going (yes, I'm late to the party) and like Nicole I was looking forward to meeting many people I've befriended online. It's a shame to hear Robert, Veronica, and many others won't be going this year. Moreso with an anti sentiment thrown in. For FF'ers that are going keep up in the SXSW room here http://friendfeed.com/rooms... - Mark Krynsky

SXSW Interactive is much more then a bloggers and Wed designers conference, Austin welcomes us and the community is transformed, Time is the biggest commitment we give to go the SXSW and the friends we meet and the friends we make is the reward. - paul mooney

I live in Austin and won't be going to SXSW. Just haven't seen anything compelling enough to get me to go down town. - Bryan Bartow from twhirl

I live on the north side of town and it's a 30 minute drive. That's like 30 cents in gas. - Bryan Bartow from twhirl

CES said that they were ready for an 8% drop in attendance this year, but the number was 22% drop. I was not able to get the attendance numbers for Oracle OpenWorld, but friends told me it was down from last yr. I made my hotel & air reservations for SXSW & was able to get a good deal. Looks like hotels and airlines are having problems too. This is real, and it will take a long time to recover... but now more than ever companies need to focus and listen to consumers. I see good things some companies. - Julio F ~ @SocialJulio

Julio: SFO's parking garage was empty tonight. Two years ago you would struggle to find a spot on Friday night. - Robert Scoble

i've got a wish list about attending conferences this year, and i've got to limit this year's to the XMPP Summit or Future of Web Apps. - Jason Salas

You should go to the one day Accelerator on the 16th. See up and coming companies (sort of SXSW's version of DEMO and TC50). Then we would at least get you for a day.. - Micah Baldwin

that's funny spam - Aaman (Clone of FF)

Robert: maybe Cindy will pay your way ;) ... seriously though, I'm sorry to see you have to go through such changes and feel terribly for Rocky. - J. McConnell

funny how, when the economy tanks, echo-chamber events just aren't that important anymore... - Graeme Thickins

Well, I still want to know when you do make it back out to Austin, Robert. Just so I can shake your hand. I probably won't make it to SXSWi this year either, but for me it's just the cost. - Phil G

Graeme: I really want to go. I might go on my vacation time anyway. Networking events are even more important during downturns. - Robert Scoble
