This is my fifth year at SxSW. Something wonderful happens to me when I’m here with all my crazy creative friends. Some switch gets flip and the tenuous control I have over what comes out of my mouth completely switches off and I become a round mound of manic energy. The pictures have already started showing up on flickr (thanks to
MD for documenting it):
At
Break Bread With Brad last night, I won a lovely custom made purse by
Cinnamon Cooper. Now, I’m not normally a purse
guy, but I made an exception last night and carried it as we wandered around Austin. Jen, you’re getting a really cute little handbag when I get home…
And then there was
Dave. I mentioned that Dave had lost a
lot of weight since last year, and asked him, of course, if it was a tapeworm. Unfortunately, it was really a medical condition. Thankfully, Dave’s a funny guy, and now “Hey, that tapeworm is stealing my food!” became the first running gag at SxSW for us this year. I don’t know that the picture really captures it, but that’s what we were going for.
Today, it’s off to some panels, and tomorrow, the Web Awards and
Fray. I love SxSW.
