No doubt there are too many embarrassing moments and too much stuff I can’t repeat from SXSW Interactive. But, I figure why not share some details. In addition to finding great Wi-Fi at The Four Seasons, Garden District, The Driskil, Halcyon, Austin Java, Jo’s and more … here are the …
Top 10 Pings from SXSW:
- Seeing bats fly out from under the bridge, no guano in my vicinity, yo.
- “Owning” free-parking secret space, minutes from SXSW, riding bike … sweet.
- Cab driver who tried to kill me on bike, at Four Seasons, apologized, scraped me off asphalt.
- Enjoyed ego-fest at most of the panel or group discussions … “Oh yah, well I got more followers.” “Oh yah, well … my followers are smarter.”
- Falling asleep in the “Free” discussion, in spite of Guy Kawasaki’s hilarious quips (“I ti’de, lode knows I ti’de”).
- Meeting “Smokey” from “The Big Lebowski.” (Singer/Songwriter legend Jimmie Dale Gilmore) I hear Smokey rolls a mean one — bowling ball that is.
- Flying under radar as “illegal immigrant” attendee of SXSW festival …
- Meeting Shankman and Solis. Talking with Almacy (former Whitehouse interactive guru)!
- Getting the go ahead to interview DEVO! After seeing David Garza and Bob Schneider in the same small venue.
- Wearing new Mullet t-shirt from Circus Mashimus as proof that my own hair day is not quite as bad as I thought.
Know what I sayin?
