SXSW Wrap-Up 2013
Charles and I made it to SXSW unofficial again this year and I’m glad we went. One, it was super nice to have a break from the kids and spend some time together. Two, I love being a part of SXSW in some way-there’s an excitement about it I can’t explain. Three, this year’s laid [...]
