Scott Andrew - lo-fi acoustic pop superhero!

As it turned out, Tantek and I got to give an elevator pitch on weblogs to the guy sitting next to us at the Liz Phair interview. The guy turned out to be Anders Rasmussen, president of the Austin Songwriter’s Group and the author of an email newsletter called Inspirations For Songwriters, which I’ve been receiving for about two years. I learned this after we had given him the weblog spiel.

Today I received the latest issue of IFS. Looks like we made an impression! (edited for length)

Towards the end of the event I started talking with the guy next to me and
the guy next to him. After a moment we realized two over from me was long
time IFS reader Scott Andrew. super nice guy

Right next to me was Celik Tantek (sic). Who was a panelist at the SXSW internet conf. and a serious BLOGGER.  he keeps a weblog or BLOG.

I don’t know what rock I’ve been hiding under
but a lot of folks out there are keeping BLOGs
and looking at the technology
if you’re an artist it’s a powerful tool to stay in touch with your fans
And i think it’s a great discipline.

And then, a little further down:

BLOG is short for WEB LOG
You might want to begin a WEB LOG
to stay intouch with your fans

Is that cool or what?
