Brand Flakes for Breakfast - SXSW

Is it Monday already?



We're headed home late tomorrow. On one hand, I can't believe it's almost over. On the other hand, my body says "it's time for a day without alcohol, and with more sleep."

Here's some highlights from our Monday at SXSW. As always, check our individual Tumblr pages for even more entertaining and informative action.

The Mark Zuckerberg keynote continued to explode all over the internet. Kind of cool to witness this in person. I heard a Twitter rumor that he was going to take an open Q&A at a local restaurant, but was too lazy to leave the convention center and find out if it was for real.

Went to some great panels today, and you can read the majority of our notes on our Tumblrs.

On the trade show floor, I met with three different providers of streaming video. We've got some cool ideas for clients (and our upcoming tour) that push the limits of what's seemingly possible with live video streams. I'll be anxious to see which vendor can help us achieve our goals.

After a day of panels, we headed to the Nuclear Taco event. The word "nuclear" says it all. The "4 bombs out of 5" level of hottness left Rob in tears. Literally. Crying like a little baby girl. He thinks he's all man, because he got a tattoo, but he was brought to his knees by a little tasty taco.

After tacos, we headed to 20x2, a show featuring artists, marketing geeks, comedians and others answering the question "What's the Difference?" Some entertaining responses followed. Was cool for a while, until we got bored and moved on.

Some Blue Moon beer led to some interesting conversation at the Marriot. An earlier evening, as David, Rob and I all had work (and deadlines!) to attend to. Rob and I are supposed to join a SXSW running group tomorrow, but I also see some parties brewing, on Twitter. Not sure which side of my brain I should listen to...
