SXSW and Austin, Texas first impressions

This place is great. The film and music folks are much swankier than the interactive nerds, but I expected that :)

Had a nice catch up and breakfast with Darren. Unfortunately we didn’t manage to get sim cards to make our calls/data costs cheaper, though seems like we might have been given duff info by the AT&T sales guy …

Stroke of luck with my SXSW pass, only 10min wait (have been up to an hour for others). Hotel shuttles pretty good when I finally managed to work out how to get my wristband.

Everything seems organized chaos, but a great vibe. There are so many people I am having trouble working out if I recognize faces or not. I have only been blanked once so far but managed to have some great conversations already.

What with the jet lag and the sun I am already drooping, considering having a nap.

All this and I haven’t been to a panel yet ;)

So far so good, and this is only part way through day one :)
