Now that it’s officially Saturday, I want to wish two fantastic people in the industry a Happy Birthday.
Lisa Barone from Bruce Clay Inc. and 10e20’s Chris Winfield are both celebrating their birthdays today so wish them well. :) Both Lisa and Chris are awesome in their own right. And here’s why.
When I was stuck hanging in a hotel bar in NYC after day one of SMX Social, Chris and Cameron Olthuis were gracious enough to have me pull up a chair and burn a few hours away. Since then, I’ve realized that if there were ever a social media and optimization guy you needed to know, Chris was your guy. He’s always watching out for you and willing to share some great ideas, stories and news as it happens. Solid cat.
That’s no knock on other social marketers either — Chris just brings it all together, is semi-local by industry standards and is always in a great mood. Honestly, I’ve never once seen him where he wasn’t in a completely great mood.
Besides, dude owns USA Today.
Lisa’s a bit different. While she’s the best SEO Blogger in the space, I’d go so far as to say that along with Matt McGee she knows me better than anyone in the industry (and perhaps out of it too).
She gets Boston as well as anyone, can live-tweet a Lakers’ ass kicking at the hands of the Celtics with the best of us, and appreciates great free beer. Her musical selection is impeccable and at conferences, it’s tough not to want to hang with The Lisa.
And seriously, if you can’t appreciate her Friday Recaps – you don’t deserve to exist.
So, without any more gushing… Happy Birthday to you both. You’re awesomesauce. Maybe even Awsomesauce with Cinnamon.

There are a lot of things I love about this post aside from the birth of two pretty kick ass search peeps.
At the top of the list, is the SAMUEL ADAMS LIGHT you are drinking in your pic there (I think it’s sam light no?)
I wish Captain TC. I wish. It was Happy Pond Pale Ale. Micro$oft, despite all their money – wouldn’t provide any decent beer.
Sadly, the hard liquor was worse. Imagine pouring rubbing alcohol through a loaf of bread like Kitty Dukakis did.
lol i actually remember that!
This really capped off my weekend Eric – -thanks a lot for the extremely kind words!!
