<<I wish we had known more auditeers in the house- I saw Brett Rosenberg

a fave of mine) and got to chat with another Brett, Brett Milano, who is 
travelling down to SXSW to promote his new book "Vinyl Junkies, Adventures in 
Record Collecting". >>

Jeez, I knew he looked familiar (for a second I thought maybe it was our own 
Stewart Mason--they do look somewhat similar, and I've only met Stewart once). 
I've loved Brett's pieces/liner notes for ages, and he stood right next to me 
for a large part of the show.

In retrospect I should've said hi to several people--Brett Rosenberg, Cliff 
Hillis, etc., but I always fumble for what to say at such things. "Hi, I love 
your records?" I know very little about the technical side of 
production/performance and am able to opine much more eloquently in writing than in speech, so 
I tend to worry about what to say to the point where I generally just don't.
