Y'all Can Have Austin...

I was just in Austin for SXSW and although it's a fun city and in a state that I LOVE, I'm leaving it. All the hipsters who were running around saying that Austin is "the only place in Texas" where they could live, can have it. I'll take the rest of the Texas...Dallas/Fort Worth especially. I'm not hating on Austin and it was great for work, but I've never waited in longer lines, seen more rain and hippies or had a tougher time finding a cab. Here's just a few pics from the trip....


 

rainy day outside the hotel in downtown Austin
 

line to get credentials...


it took three and a half hours...


 

opening night
 
Patrick Stinson (our host) on the red carpet on another rainy day

finally a sunny day and Judd Apatow

Matthew Lillard at Starbucks

Willem Dafoe on the red carpet (I got to interview him)


David Martinez (camera guy) trying to hail a cab

on a run...the capitol

and the UT campus
 

and waiting in line, again, for my flight. I made it with five minutes to spare.
