While chatting on Twitter I noticed talk of someone getting a scarf and I really wasn't sure what it was about but I recognized the handle RustyBrick. I noticed Barry, owner of RustyBrick (search marketing), blogging the conference sessions right at the cusp, when blogging began to get rather important.
It was exciting to see someone smart use the medium for a good purpose. What's true is, I quickly learned watching SERoundtable explode onto the scene, just how organized and detail-oriented he and staff were. It was Barry's personal army of bloggers letting the world know within minutes what some of us were saying on the stage. Brilliant success. He took it to the show in every way.
So, the Chicago weather was particularly cold the day I saw him exchange tweets about a scarf, I had left mine at my friend Jenn's house for Mardi Gras, and I simply replied with something to the effect that I wanted a scarf. I got a direct message from Barry and replied with my physical address.
I must say Barry, when your scarf gift arrived, I was feeling extremely cold. It was fairly nasty outside and I was more than thankful for both the note and the scarf. I did immediately feel better under the circumstances, and so I am very grateful to you. I took a picture after opening the packaging that night.

Thank you Barry!
