RSSIm going to TechCrunch50!
May 20
Greetings readers!
As some of you may know, about a month ago as a random act of kindness, I decided to get Jason Calacanis a blu-ray movie that was on his Amazon wish list. Due to some mixed signals that I was getting from Amazon, I never knew if he got the movie.
At first Amazon said it shipped it the next day which was on a Sunday, something I found strange since I have never known the USPS to do shipments on Sundays. If that wasn’t strange enough, I go back to look at the approximate arrival date as I was waiting for my own shippment only to see that it says the item wont even ship until the 16th of May. Considering I had already recieved a noticed that it has shipped, I had found this very confusing.
I happened to see Jason streaming on ustream yesterday before his speech and asked him if he received it. It turned out that he had and seemed excited about it. He responded saying that as a gift to me, he was giving me a free ticket to the TechCrunch50 Conference! I never expected a $20 movie to open up such a huge door for me. I never expected to go to the conference since I could never afford to go to a conference that costs thousands of dollars just to walk in the door.
I will likely wait till I have moved to Seattle before I start confirming any travel plans. To say that this could be a huge opportunity for me is an understatement. Jason Calacanis is an amazing person and I greatly look forward to meeting him in person at the conference if not before.
If you happen to be reading this Jason, I am extremely grateful for your gift and if there is anything I can ever do for you, just let me know!
