caseysoftware: @shashib I promise to stalk you at #sxsw. When you find that someone has taken a bite of your English muffin and drank your OJ, that's me ;)

zenaweist: @shashib excellent tip, especially for me b/c I'm so short, I like to wear heels, might need some comfy crocs heels for SXSW - thx!

shashib: @zenaweist wear comfortable shoes - there is a lot of walking to do :)
