Here’s a quick rundown of what I did today.
10am Panel: Better Blogging Brainstorming: Zero brainstorming, maximum snoozer.
11am Panel: Battle Decks: Hybrid improv/power point presentations. People had to give power point presentations based on hilarious slides they’d never seen before. Started off great, slowly started to fizzle.
12pm Lunch: Jackalope Burger: Just as delicious as last year. You haven’t seen the last of us this week, Mr. Jackalope. Tomorrow is Camino de Casino de Camino. (yeah I know that’s not the right name, bugger off)
2pm Documentary: Oilcrash We’re all fucked.
4:30pm Documentary: Cruel and Unusual Transgendered people do not have it easy in prisons.
Sundown: Nature: The Bats of Austin, TX Watching (literally) over a million bats fly over me at a little park by the river was both amazing and terrifying.
7pm: Happy Hour: Embassy Suites Thanks for the drinks, manager of hotel. See you tomorrow, same time.
8:30pm: Harmony: Reconnecting With My Great Friend Anastasia She’s doing fabulous things (a book next year!) and is going to be speaking at a panel tomorrow @ 11am. Check it out.
9:30pm: Party: Frog Design SXSW Kickoff No idea what band played, got a free water. Seemed like DJ Shadow or RJD2 should have performed. Crowded.
12am: Documentary: This Film Is Not Yet Rated Engrossing and entertaining documentary about the MPAA ratings board and how screwed up their system is. Great Q&A afterwards with the director. (even better pizza from the Alamo Drafthouse)

Bats. They’re everywhere. We were secretly hoping that they’d attack the crowd and carry away a small baby and raise it as their own.
