@ConsultingChick Rochelle, thanks for the follow. Looking at your site. Interesting. I like your outlook on personal branding. #

@ConsultingChick On that note, have a look at this piece I did on the branding of LA indie artists The XX. Thoughts? http://t.co/E9s0MRh4 #

Oh damn – http://t.co/eKmY5O7b AND a 65 year-old financial planner? Someone's gettin his money right. #

@ConsultingChick Thanks. Have you done any work branding artists? #

@mendicantraf @cynthiajabar The Film Society at Lincoln Center.
144 West 65th St. Won't be able to make it tho. Back to the city Weds. #

@mendicantraf What's your schedule like Weds 3:30 – 6? #

@storycentral R u in the city? DM your mobile! I'm back Weds. #

And we thought the Chinese population was already enormous. Enter the Year of the Dragon. Considered luckiest of all. http://t.co/aFCfhZHa #

@mendicantraf That might work. Where is it? #

Entrepreneurs: You need to start bringing your A-game style wise. Helpful tip: Trust your metrosexual friend. Not your instincts. #

@JAWLSPRODUCTION Thanks for listing me. How are things in Paris? It's been far too long since I strolled thru Le Marais. #

@lskains Thanks for listing me. Was just in Wales & Bristol. Gorgeous. U should look up my creator friend @poburke. He's out your way(ish). #

@StephenDinehart I will metro your closet like you won't believe. #

@cmangodesign I like how this woman lumps professor, computer hacker & high-school art teacher in the same style category. #

@AnnikaShelly I liked your piece on looking the part in Forbes. Where do u see the crossover between stylist, publicist & brand developer? #

@mendicantraf How about I meet u there at 5:30 tomorrow? #

Advice from a friend about having kids: Bring them along for your life & let them experience it vs. completely changing your life for them. #

@mendicantraf Is there a lobby or something? Where should we meet? #

@mendicantraf See u at the hotel bar at 5:30. #

@hoppingfun Hope you're having fun in NYC. How was #dbw12 #

Wow full drum kit and guy footdribbling a soccer ball at the entrance of 96th st subway. Get your Wednesday on. #

@nlassam Hi Nina, yes you can send it to sh@sparrowhall.com. Looking forward to hearing what you're up to. #

Is the seat next to the crazy dude on the train the safest or most dangerous place to sit? Side note: he's in full conversation w/ himself. #

Insight from mid-20s actor friend in NY: Actors now taking TV & web work over film. When content (& reach) is king how does #film compete? #

@rachelfairbanks I like to join the convo they're having w/ themselves. Injecting things like "Exactly." or "What was she thinking?" #

I want an app where it's just all the dance warm ups on Ellen. #

@mendicantraf See u in a few #

Publishers: Lit IP is monopoly money unless u get the rare movie deal. If u don't become experts in immersive digital you're dead. #dbw12 #

How did Albert Brooks not get nominated? #

I need to get some Enya Watermark up in here. #

@Houston_Howard thanks for posting. What's the link to the article? The tmblr seems to be a little wonky. #

It's like the Upper East Side knows its soul died at some point, and it's just like enh whatever. #

@demibooks @Apocalepsy911 @staceywng @jlbhart Great night. @mendicantraf Safe travels. See u in Chicago next time. #

If u thought u couldn't get away from the Adele album, wait until this one drops. "Born To Die" / Lana Del Rey (Jan 21) http://t.co/0mnMDsAk #

@songadaymann I thought she was good. I feel like she needs to lose the 8 piece rock orchestra & just have a dude on a piano and a sampler. #

@songadaymann What about u? #

@areyouthatguy If she faltered, I guarantee that every girl who watched it liked her more because of it. Imperfection is on her side. #

@songadaymann I think you're right, but if u watch other live performances, she's a bit crowd-shy. I think it's working to her advantage. #

@areyouthatguy I watched the Video Games & Blue Jeans performances. Nerves. She's done better, but I think it'll get her more on-air gigs. #

@kicktotheshins I need to get on the Nike+. Do u listen to music when u run? #

Instead of treating companies as enterprises in need of nurturing, failed leaders saw them as extensions of themselves http://t.co/XIcsDrcD #

People hate "digital" bcuz it feels like we've traded soul for simplicity. Even those w/ digital careers. Conflicted? http://t.co/cX4TWd8s #

@tylerweaver Interested to hear about yr music side & how it's influenced yr transmedia work. Familiar w/ @DanielPink 's theory on symphony? #

@jchutchins I agree that it hasn't been done, but filmmakers show us the opportunity is there. #

@jchutchins The video game industry isn't hurting tho. Latest numbers put it at a profit level above the film & music industry combined. #
