Funny Sundays: Clarence Smith Jr., Storyteller At SXSW

I've known Clarence for a few years. Brother has that digital swagger down pat! The video above is from his featured story at an event called "Fray Cafe" at the South by Southwest Interactive Festival.

I usually do that event as well but had a conflict this year, hosting the web awards instead. Clarence just posted the video about his surgery experience. As someone who's been cut many times by doctors, I can appreciate it to the fullest. Highlight: "I knew I wasn't in heaven because all I saw was white people."

Consider this a storytelling Sunday break. Peep him at http://www.doyouknowclarence.com
