Here In Austin...
It was a long morning's journey into day as I landed in Auston for SXSW on the 7:45a fight. By the time I had landed in the town that always winks, 300 had set a record for a non-summer/non-X-Mas-Giving opening, Morgan Spurlock had grown a Moses-like beard, and a former Abu Gharib guard had landed in Austn with a new female companion that he met on MySpace. What a country!!!
Within a few hours, I would find out why the response to The Ten was so lukewarm at Sundance, how many familiar faces from other places could fill the Ironworks bbq joint behind the Austin Convention Center, and how many murderous sheep can fit in a whisky bar. Even more surprising, I felt myself being very ambivalent about Michael Moore.
Well...
I guess that's not such a surprise.
More to come as the weekend progresses... it always takes a day or two to figure out how to pace myself at a festival and in this case, I will be heading to the airport almost exactly 48 hours after landing.

Who else is at SXSW? Dave, did you go the Sheep party?
I didn't see you there. Best BBQ is at Smitty's... Ironworks is for el turistas.

Stubbs? Are you high? Is McDonalds the best burger too? Ironworks rules but I will check out Smitty's.
p.s. I'm at SXSW...best festival around. Period.
