I met a guy at a startup related meet up here in Chicago. I shared my story, and he liked it. It turned out that he was doing some writing for The Startup Foundry, and he said that he'd love to interview me (I had pitched TSF before and received no response).

E-mail is great, but face to face interaction has always been way more effective for me.

Thanks a lot for the reply. Tips like this go a long way obviously. :)
