So, We're Back Home. Finally.

Olivia and I just got home to Sarahlacy.com HQ -- aka my house-- and we're collapsing on the couch, petting some very lonely cats and salivating over an impending feast of Chinese food. I wanted to do a quick post just to thank everyone we met or danced with or sang to or shoved a Flipcam in the face of while we were traveling these past few weeks. We sold lots of books, which is of course the ostensible purpose, but as a reporter it was a life changing experience to get to check out so many tech-scenes around the country. I feel like I have a deeper sense of what it means to be an entrepreneur in America, and what the Web 2.0 movement means beyond the land of Slide, Ning, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook. We must have met thousands of you in what seems like months since we took off for Austin!

A few other blog-keeping notes:

- The lifecasting went over hugely well, with many people saying they felt like they knew us better and lived the tour with us. That said, it sort of took over the site. And for people who missed more standard blog-analysis, it was undoubtedly a bit much. So we're working on a separate video channel that will continue to document our adventures in the Valley and other tech hotbeds. For now, notice the "Video" tab where at least all the videos will be collected and easy to find when you have a few moments to waste in your day.

- Speaking of videos, we've got more footage from Memphis and Toronto coming up so stay tuned! (We're split on whether the karaoke night is actually making it on the site. We're both a little scared to watch it!) Either way, I'll be editing like a fiend all weekend!

- Last night, the transit was down in Toronto and cabs were incredibly scarce so we got a bunch of notes from people who tried to get to the event but couldn't. I left behind about 20 signed copies of the book with Will Willis, in case you live in Toronto and would like one. They are $20. Email Will (dot) Willis (at) bitepr.com. Please don't make him ship them all back to me!

- The UGBT isn't over yet! We've got a very quick stop in Boulder and Houston in November. Check here for details!

And now it's time to revel in an evening of no makeup, no heels, no books to sign (ok, that one never gets old) and as little speaking as possible (ok, who am I kidding here? It's me.)

I miss you all already! Stay in touch! We promise to come back to each city very soon and throw even more epic bashes.
