* jeanniecool was at eTech in San Diego in, um, 2004
<jeanniecool> And I was nervous about meeting a whole bunch of people from our channel, so I'm talking about it outside with a friend, having a smoke before going in to the bar.
<jeanniecool> Some guys walk by us as we're talking and get into a car,
<jeanniecool> right as my friend says, "Why are you so nervous?? You're jeanniecool!"
<jeanniecool> I roll my eyes/stick out my tongue/something appropriate - and one of the guys in the car gets back out,
<jeanniecool> walks back to us and says, "You're jeanniecool?" and sticks out his hand out, introducing himself.
<jeanniecool> Turned out *he* was Stewart Butterfield, and late one night in the hotel lobby he showed me the first version of Flickr (before open beta), AND gave me the best foot massage I've ever had in my entire life.
