You had me at EAT MEAT. I soooo want to go to Salt Lick. We have an office there in Austin, but yet I can never get anyone to ship me some Salt Lick BBQ. Dadgum sales team. ;)
Ive always heard SXSW is insane from the tech standpoint and social standpoint. Serious sensory overload is bound to happen.

I think we are going to see an unexpected change: after being overloaded with “the next big thing,” in apps, I see some of this backfiring with a pleasant change: less staying glued to the phone and more connecting in person. The “phone” is a great utility, but I am finding that more and more, I am shutting it off, being more self selective at events like these, and looking for people and not their avatars to connect to. A place like SXSW lends itself well to this ironic social experiment in that I think we also self select where we want to go, the events we want learn from and connect at a human level.

Hope you’re having a wonderful time an the weather over there is as lovely as it is year in the Spanish Town Historical District. ^..^~
