For this next SXSW video Interview I managed to grab Jen Wojcik, sit her down and chat with her a bit during the TechKaraoke event at SXSW which my company, Awareness, Inc. sponsored. Jen is the co-founder along with Kate Buck of the interactive event planning company,Pinqued. Partnering with the TechKaraoke founder, Brett Petersel, Jen and Kate put on a fantastic event at SXSW which included both traditional karaoke and my absolute favorite, live-band karaoke!

Despite the fact that I completely lost my voice during the conference, I did manage to sing with the help of my pal, Margot Bloomstein, who carried the vocals as we belted out The Violent Femmes “Blister in the Sun” with the live band. Not sure how great we sounded, but it was pretty awesome to have the fans blowing our hair in true “80′s big hair” fashion. Hey, I felt like a rock star for a good 3 minutes!

So, here is the video with Jen where I found out a bit more about her company Pinqued why she colored her hair pink.

Thanks Jen and Kate!
