Photo Highlights from South by Southwest Interactive 2009 (SXSWi)

Below are some photo highlights from SXSW. You can find more coverage of SXSW on my blog, plus many more pictures on Flickr (soon) and on Facebook here and here.

 

Frito Pie, a Texas staple

Doing lunch with Joe Kutchera

In the Blogger Lounge at the Convention Center with Michelle Shildkret (no PCs allowed)

Greg Verdino puts down his crayons and Steve Hall stops ranting about ads for a photo

Kerry Hay and Simon Ruparella, not long before Simon taught me how to order haggis in a UK restaurant

Jeff Pulver and Alan Weinkrantz escape the Blogger Lounge

Shashi Bellamkonda ponders what meat to eat next at Fogo de Chao

Sarah Townsend and Tessa Horehled, joining me for the Whrrl party

Signing a shoe of protest from an amputee that does - ironically - stand-up comedy

Lara Lebeiko signs the shoe. My message: "Kick butt."

Rohit Bhargava juggles rocks at the Belmont; thousands of SXSW'ers flee for their lives (actually he did a fine job, as you can tell from this shot)

After this, a new law was passed banning taking pictures of yourself in the rear view mirror while driving

Fun fact: Austin is the capitol of Texas; not so fun fact; this used to be George W. Bush's office

At Lamberts, this Niman Ranch ribeye slathered in mustard butter with a brown sugar glaze is one of the best cuts of meat I've ever eaten

No, this is not an error - I just wanted to look at it again

Craig the coder climbs a tree... I started to think maybe I've been at SXSW a little too long

A socially sensational way to end the show, at Pure Volume with Steve Hall, Baratunde Thurston, and Lara Lebeiko

Human's Eye View of Eagle Creek

I'm here in Avon, Colorado at the Park Hyatt in Beaver Creek for Frost & Sullivan's Marketing World 2008 where I'll be a track chair. Yesterday I flew into Vail and drove through Eagle Creek where I took a few photos along the way, first stumbling into a small town where there's a fun public art project, then driving alongside the creek, and catching an outdoor art show full of Native Americans, landscapes, American flags, and wildlife sculptures.

While I plan to blog more about the conference itself, here's a snapshot of my own take on Americana, some of it taken through the car window while driving. Next time I want to do that, I should probably let someone else drive.
