Yes, I'll Send a Member of My Team Immediately

It's SXSW week, and some PR folks are under the mistaken impression that I'm both going and/or a big deal. :-)

After I got an e-mail from one PR rep earlier in the week about a company looking to capitalize on social media, and I had no interest, this afternoon I got a follow-up. (With edits, naturally)

"Any interest in the (client name) social media story? They’re in Austin all weekend meeting with bloggers and media if you have anyone down there who’d like to talk with them."

Yes, of course. I'll send one of my staffers to go get this story immediately. All expenses paid. What... you're saying I don't have staff? Or I did, and they just quit? Dang. I'll have to get back to you then.
