Marc Harty, Triumphant!
(At left is the "after" picture of a man basking in some well-earned praise. For the "before" and "during" of this little adventure, see below)
I like to provide stories for my readers that illustrate triumphs of the spirit, will and in this case, sheer brute force. In this latest of the genre, my new friend and SEO/PR Traffic expert Marc Harty manfully climbs a perilous knotted rope into Suzanne Falter-Barns son Luke’s bedroom window. It’s worthwhile to point out that said bedroom window is on the inside of the house twenty feet above the floor, and the house in question is a rustic and beautifully restored 18th century inn in upstate New York.
A delightful gaggle of internet marketers and cool people gathered at Suzanne’s this past July to get to know one another better outside the crush of conference time, where barely a few moments intimacy are possible between one seminar and the next. Included were the divine Yvonne DiVita of Dickless Marketing and the Lipsticking Blog and her delightful partner Tom Collins (no relation to the drink), the vivacious and engaging Lena West of The Technology Diet with partner Eric of-the-gorgeous-deep-voice (who alas! does not have a website, but IS available for voiceovers - ask Lena), plus Marc and of course, myself. Blogwild author and good buddy Andy Wibbels tried mightily, but was not able to be present due to some freakish Chicago weather. (the same weather that delayed my plane 30 hours…but more about that later) Both he and Andrea Lee, who was double booked, were sorely missed.
Meanwhile for your enjoyment (drum roll please)…
"LAY-DEES AND GENTLEMEN! Mr. MARC HARTY will now attempt for your VIEWING PLEASURE, fearless feats of DEATH-DEFYING cunning and simian-like DEX-TER-ITY Take it away, Marc!"
