			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People complain about <a href="http://bit.ly/FzExi">#FollowFriday because people just throw out a bunch of names without giving any reason</a> to follow the people on the list. My solution has been to provide a reason or theme with each person I recommend. For instance,</p>
<p>#followfriday <a href="http://www.twitter.com/agrahamwilcox">@agrahamwilcox</a> &lt;- Must follow for NBA fans</p>
<p>Today, Brad Ward decided to take it all up a notch.</p>
<p>The story begins at SXSW.  SXSW is the conference that keeps on giving. In the past I have equated it to cramming a whole semester of college into 2 weeks. The people that you meet are the people you want to meet, the experiences that you share are meaningful both in the &#8220;classroom&#8221; and in the bars and social events.</p>
<p>On the night of the <a href="http://www.mashable.com">mashable party</a>, Not only did I sing Ziggy Stardust with a live band, meet Seth Rogen and Joseph &#8220;Cobra Commander&#8221; Gordan-Levitt,  I met <a href="http://www.twitter.com/bradjward">Brad J. Ward</a>.</p>
<p>I was heading to the bar to pick up my 4th (or so) and I was in queue to sing with the band. Well, the <a href="http://bit.ly/18FUzl">video tells the story</a></p>
<p><a href="http://bit.ly/18FUzl"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-233" title="Picture 25" src="http://www.schneidermike.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Picture-25.png" alt="Picture 25" width="642" height="388" /></a></p>
<p>Did I think he was going to gank my charger? No. But my own phone was low on juice and I couldn&#8217;t hear the bartender. The band was RIGHT in front of us and Brad was looking to disappear. What good is a business card if I can&#8217;t charge my phone later? I decided to chill out about it, sing my song and have fun at the party instead of worrying about whether I would be connected later. Glad I did. Brad is an amazing person that I met at the conference and I am having a good time getting to know him better through twitter. Follow him!</p>
