What do you get when you have a gated mansion, infinity pool, game room, movie screening room, 3 floors and the coolest peeps from across the globe?

The Social Media Clubhouse on Lake Austin in Austin, Texas.

To say that I experienced the time of my life is a gross understatement. Chris Heuer and Kristie Wells have the power to bring social networking and real life heroes all into one household from as far away as Paris and Vancouver, BC. The following people should be followed on twitter immediately…

I was welcomed into the fold long before I got there and had to pleasure to perform for an intimate crowd whose infectious excitement made it thrilling and humbling. Such amazing people in every sense both personally and professionally. After playing for them and listening to Nate Davenport bang out some stellar tunes, we boarded the Social Media Clubhouse party bus for transport to the hottest spots at SXSW.
A night of karaoke on the bus, partying off the bus and nearly getting attacked by a bear at Mohawk Media Temple, left nothing to be desired and lifelong friends that I can’t wait to see next year. Thank you all for my first time to Austin and SXSW was memorable and inspiring! I can honesty say nothing was better than “co-working” in the kitchen with 12 peeps on laptops talking to themselves and yet deemed as one force to be reckoned with. I have only a glimpse of the greatness I blogged and edited alongside, but I can tell you, you are doing yourself a dis-service to not find out for yourself….
