I love TechCrunch. I really do. Some people hate it. Some people pretend to hate it.

Investors are drunk party girls at closing time at the bar.
Bad pitches usually come from thinking this.

What a great and weird world SXSW has been. From the fake panel from Zuckerberg to the great private shows, this has been a year to remember.
