Just a quick note to let you know that “Avalonstar” has been selected as a finalist in the “Blog” category! I’ll be posting all the finalists on the SXSW site later this evening — as well as sending you more information on what this exciting honor entails.

Congrats!

Talk soon, Shawn

Just being in the top five (in any competition) is something I could have never dreamed of, but something I definitely hoped for. But I guess this is the beginning, and another thing to look forward to at my first SXSWi. I’m up against some awesome blogs, and I know it’ll be a great competition. Wish us all luck, it’s going to be one hell of a rush.
