I got back from Austin, TX early this morning, having journeyed to take part in the South by SouthWest Interactive Festival. Most of my team joined me in sunny Austin on Friday, and much transpired between then and Wednesday.

The good:
-Champagne while waiting in line to check into the Hyatt Regency
-Nice Weather
-Good Panels (LOL WUT)
-Weird Dude who entered our circle one night, and high fived us as he walked off to the sunset/elevator
-The waiter at Threadgill telling Mu “You get 2 sides with that” - “Surprise Me” - “I will”.
-The Rock Band phenomenon
-The gas station that sells Cuban cigars in humidors
-”Keep Austin Weird”
-Capital Cruises, especially Captain Steve
-Hotel spa
-misfire going to karaoke
-BBQ, mmm
-Strawberry margaritas
-Boston Ale, then Boston Lager
-”How many bottles in a case, 12 or 24″ - “psss, come closer… (whispers) I don’t work here”
-Gym
-Hotel breakfast with omelet guy
-Calling shenanigans on the state of Iowa
-Twitter
-Buffalo Billiards, teh rock
-icanhascheezburger.com - how we started off each day
-The Austin Capitol
-Awesome hats

The Bad:
-90 decibel construction at Hyatt Regency while devs were codejamming
-misfire going to karaoke
-Crappy panels
-suxor parties with 200 people in line (thanks for listing them in the SXSW program, good going)
-Dinner at the Iron Cactus, “I can’t control the rain”.
-Losing my iPod on the plane on the way back home.
-Soreness after gym
-Hotel breakfast during the week, more expensive, no omelet guy
-That no one called shenanigans on the Zuckerberg keynote
-The Last Supper omen

I’m sure I missed some stuff. For the unabridged version: Twitter feed.
