Me: I’ll tell you why BlogHer [the conference] is better than the park.
C-Man: OK.
Me: At BlogHer, if you meet someone that you think is interesting, but you’ve only been talking to them for two or three minutes, it is perfectly acceptable to ask what their blog is or if they have a card. Then each person may read or not read the other person’s blog, or comment, or whatever. It is completely acceptable to essentially ask for someone’s contact information with two minutes of meeting them, and then it’s also easy to follow up or evade further contact as necessary.
C-Man: So what you’re saying is, you don’t know how to pick up women on the playground.
