Re-reading my last post, I realized it sounded a bit negative there at the end. So I'm here to report that, after the last several days of panels and evening activities, I feel back in the full spirit of SXSW. I've seen some really great panels, and despite my initial torpor, I had fun at the various evening activities. The Austin Fray Cafe was definitely a highlight. Great stories, set to pouring rain. Monday night was a little 20x2 at the Parish followed by two-for-one veggie burgers with Alan, Chris, and Patrick, followed by beer at Lovejoy's and a pretty fun party at Iron Cactus, at which I met the only person who got fired from Google for blogging about work. I also met two more people from Toronto. So, including Patrick and Michele, that makes four at the conference in all. I seem to have a strange gravitational pull toward people from Canada.

Home to DC - and a near-complete bathroom - tomorrow.
