SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you this week by Etan on Tech. In a rapidly dissolving world of “Old Media” he is staying relevant and engaging his audience every day, and we salute him for that. If you are local, come meet Etan (and us, and a
show more...
bunch of neat twitterfolk) at Scruffy Murphy’s on Thursday, Feb 19,2009. It’ll be dope!
We talked quite a bit about our sushi charitywater.org tweetup, dubbed the Unofficial Twestival. For those of you that do not use Twitter, basically a bunch of short-winded creative-types got together and drank and ate. It’s what humans do best. Mickey and I had a blast meeting cool people, and J is more than a little miffed that he “wasn’t invited”. Since I have now spent two whole paragraphs vaguely referring to our NEXT meetup, let’s see what he Eeyores about next week.
So, we talked about our new Twitter friends (seriously, Peakarts.com, people), and took a call from Etan as he boarded a flight to stand best man for his brother in Atlanta. By the end of our show, He had messaged that Atlanta lost their luggage. Like, the whole plane? What the hell is going on these days with the airlines? No cash, no maintenance, shoddy customer service, paying for baggage that they then lose… If you aren’t leaping continents, next time, consider driving. I did the math, and if Etan spent 1 hour in traffic to the airport, 1 hour getting through baggage claim, 30 minutes taxiing, 2 hours flying (cause the damned airlines ALWAYS fly slow now), 1 hour claiming false-baggage, 1 hour standing in line trying to find out why his stuff was lost, and then 1 hour assumed getting from the airport to where he was heading?
That’s like 47 hours. It only takes 8 to drive to Hotlanta from Jamlando. Look it up, money.
We also enjoy the company of Iceman in studio. He’s overcome with our twitter nerdocity, and saves his chances for ever getting laid by a member of the opposite sex by remaining quiet for now.
If anyone has been to the Ravenous Pig, do let me know more, would you? Thanks!
