It's become something of a running joke that Evan Williams is avoiding me. (Given the barrage of personal questions I flung at him during the Adaptive Path party, I don't suppose I can really blame him.) Still, after ducking out on SXSW in 2000, skipping the conference altogether last year and fleeing San Francisco whenever I visited, I was beginning to get a complex.

Clearly, I was simply imagining things. As you can see by the expression on his face, Ev was just delighted to spend some time with me this year.
