A fun first day at SXSW

While the morning got us started in crusty underwear from the night before, by early afternoon, our luggage was back in our possession, and we were three fresh smelling handsome men. The ladies of Texas are surely taking notice.

We registered for the conference, picked up our swag bags, and kicked into gear. We attended a fun mixer at Six, a pretty cool lounge in town. I met the Seesmic crew (pictured above), which pretty much made my night. Kathy chastised me for lurking more than I'm posting on Seesmic, and I've promised to post more frequently.

We also met some dude from Google, and a bunch of other interesting internet workers. I'd like to say that the internet workers are wayyyyy cooler than all of the film geeks.

The night ended on a sad note for me, as I dropped my iPhone on a concrete floor. The screen is cracked, and my spacebar doesn't work. Pretty nervous about what the Apple store is going to tell me.

I would like to file an official complaint with the Governor of Texas - as it's not as warm as I expected. It's Texas, dammit, and I shouldn't have to wear a jacket here.

Tomorrow starts out early for Rob and I, who are running with a SXSW running group. Then a day full of panels kicks off at 10am. We'll be sure to share all the details.

Don't forget to check out each of our Tumblr pages. Lots of fun from David, Rob and myself. You can click on the badges in the right column of this page, to visit them now. Bookmark them, and tell all of your friends.
