I have one *very* clear memory of you, C.C, and I. Namely when C.C. and I were hanging in the lobby of the Roger Smith hotel (Web2Open) & were both waiting for YOU (and at first not realizing we were both there waiting for *you*). Dozens of people were wanting C.C.'s attention but he never wavered from his position in the lobby - and trying to muscle me (ME!!) out - to be able to say hello to you and catch up with an old friend. Still buckles my knees to be able to have him as a friend and by chance have him with me when I finally got to meet you in person. Moment in my memory for life - that is for sure...

This reads like a living eulogy (I mean that in the best of ways). I was fortunate enough to meet C.C. in Boston last October during the Inbound Marketing Summit run by Chris Brogan and Justin Levy (Solid conference(s) for sure. Disclaimer: My employer, Blue Sky Factory, is partner/sponsor of New Marketing Labs & IMS). While in Boston (errr...Foxboro), I was the "man behind the camera" of BSF TV. I followed up the interview with this post: C.C. Chapman: Active, Friendly, Helpful - http://blog.blueskyfactory.com/events/cc-chapman-active-friendly-helpful/ As you can see from the title and the copy, I'm also a HUGE C.C. fan. Us dudes with initials as first names tend to stick together. I'd like to echo your comment/quote below. Pretty sure you said it best: "In person, C.C. is a big man with a boisterous, infectious laugh, and a personality that could fill a ballroom. The wit on this dude is katana-sharp; the brain behind those eyes moves a mile a minute. I’ve quietly watched C.C. in public settings, and folks just gravitate to the man. This may sound peculiar, but I say it with absolute respect and awe: C.C. Chapman is the Sanka coffee of social settings. Shit happens instantly with C.C. Boom, instant friendships, instant hugs and handshakes — he’s conversation caffeination. Just add water, and you’re off to the races with this guy." Disclaimer #2: C.C. is also a client/partner/friend of Blue Sky Factory. DJ Waldow Director of Community, Blue Sky Factory @djwaldow Yikes!

If there was one thing I learned from that, it's perseverance and a whole-hearted belief in oneself. Great article on C.C. and thanks for shedding more light on the man. Along with all his other stuff, I always find his Media Hacks conversations with a slew of other guys hilarious and insightful. Thanks and cheers!
