Frank Warren SxSW Keynote Leaves Me in Tears…and On Camera (crap)

So I cried in front of a thousand people at Frank Warren’s keynote at SxSW. I hate crying in public but inevitably do it. I was feeling the love in the room and felt I could make something happen at that time.  My sister is very ill and it just doesn’t feel good when you are at a social media/technology conference and you are related to a blogger who should be there but seriously might die because people don’t know about host vs. graft disease. So I felt compelled to bring her message to this audience.

If you want to show a little comment love to someone seriously in need of it, please go to www.debutaunt.com.

    I love you sis!!

    Thanks for the shout out. I really wish I felt better because I would have loved to go.

    Some of the Austinuts are coming to SA this weekend to help #2 bro move and to celebrate Zoe’s birthday. Tight on space, but we’d love to see you!

    PS. I’m too stubborn to die!! No tears. There is no crying in cancer ass kicking, baby!

    I was there, and you were so brave to stand up and represent your sister. You made my day.

    And to your sister all the strength in the world in your fight!

    Hey buddy. Don’t forget to reach out to Derek K. Miller and tell him I sent you. He’s an incredible guy who’s going dealing with cancer too. Check out Derek here: http://www.penmachine.com/labels/cancer

    Keep in touch. You rock!

    Hi Michelle – not sure if you remember me but I’m Darren Rowse from ProBlogger and we met at a party at SXSW – the night of Frank’s keynote.

    Anyway – I couldn’t remember your name (I think I’d had one too many frozen Margaretas) but did remember your story and remembered you asking me to get in touch with your sister. Just wanted to let you know that I tracked her down and just shot her an email – hope it helps.

    Also tracked you down here and wanted to thank you for being a good sister and using the power of blogs for good – really inspired by you and your sister and wanted to let you know.
