Long after the lights went out at innovation3 last week, there was a determined, awesome, and humble, group of people who would were simply not willing to let the party die. Who kept the party going. A group that started large, and eventually slimmed down to five. The #5.
This is their story.
Innovation 3 has come and gone; but you know what they say – videos are forever. {actually I don’t think anyone says that!} What you are about to see is REAL, the names have NOT been changed to protect anyone. Everyone in this video is a REAL person.
Speaking of “real” – I must say it was really awesome being able to meet so many people for the first time whom I have known on twitter for sometime. It was great to put a person with a profile! When I think about online-social-networking (as a means), doing this sort of stuff is certainly one of the ends (so to speak).
Being able to meet people, connect with people, hear people’s stories, hear people’s heart; is what being “created to relate” is all about! I enjoy these sorts of “events.” I enjoy being around all sorts of people. I enjoy meeting connecting with people all sorts of ways!
I am so thankful that God did not make us to simply live alone, but He has blessed us by creating so many people (and so many creative ways to meet those people) that there is no excuse for anyone to live “alone,” especially in this social-networking-society we live in! I am so thankful for the chance to have meet all of these people in the flesh. I look forward to these types of “events” in the future!
One more thing – please leave your infomation in the comments section. Your twitter name, your website address, what you do, what you dream, what your goals for 2009 are, heck, you can even tell us what your favorite flavor of ice-cream is. I’d just like to “continue the conversation.”
One last {serious} word – if I know you {on any level}, thank you for letting me walk through life with you. I really do consider it an honor!

{p.s. – I still have MUCH more footage from this event that I will be posting, so check back soon. You won’t want to miss the innovation 3 after party! Trust me!}
Yesterday I braved the Dallas ice storm of 2009 and make it out to the Innovation 3 conference. I’m glad I did! It was amazing to meet so many people that I have interacted with, but have never met. I’ll talk more about this in another post, so stay tuned!
One thing I did while at the conference was take a TON of video. So much, in fact, it’s going to take a little time to sort through it all. However, I wanted to give you just a very small taste of what’s to come! I hope you enjoy!
