Wired: “Dandies on their way to a garden party…”
This morning I woke up and the first thing I read was a message from Scott Rafer with subject “you made wired!!!”
I once told Scott that my biggest wish would be to make it to the cover of Wired magazine. It would mean that I would have done something so special that it would be special enough for Wired.
So you can imagine that I jumped out of bed and ran to my computer to see what was up.
There is a large article in this months issue of Wired Magazine about Michael Arrington. The title is “TechCrunch Blogger Michael Arrington Can Generate Buzz … and Cash“.
This is the first paragraph:
“Michael Arrington was sound asleep in his bedroom in Atherton, California, when three men burst in. Naturally, he was startled. His first reaction, he recalls, was to tell them to “get the fuck out.” But he quickly realized they meant no harm. Clad in white business suits and speaking English with a Dutch accent, the apologetic men looked more like dandies on their way to a garden party than criminals.”
Yes, that were Patrick, Arjen and me! Only we didn’t come there to pitch our start-up but just to have coffee and talk about The Next Web Conference where Michael would be a speaker. But still!
Right now I’m editing the video that Patrick made during our visit to Arrington. We will publish it later today on the Fleck.com blog. It is online now…
UPDATE: the Wired cover image is NOT real! I received a few mails from people who thought it was. You can generate your own cover too. Sorry for the confusion…
