Getting to SXSW was a breeze this year. Last year we were hit with a surprise snowstorm in Dallas (!) that closed the airport, and we had to scam a rental car, and drive ourselves to Austin.

Thanks to some JetBlue love this year. , we arrived on time and stress free. Our cab ride from the airport was quite another story:

We were informed by our cabbie about the Obama conspiracy, and who it was that put him in power. It turns out that there’s an elite class of humans that are controlling the world. And they’re genetically engineering a new class of human clones, infusing insect genetics into the mix, to create an army of human slave clones. The super humans are planning a massive bio chemical attack, where they’ll kill off at least 50 million humans. They’ve already got the coffins and coroner teams ready to handle this.

Needless to say, we’re trying to avoid the genetically altered insect people while staying in Austin.

After some chicken tacos, we caught up with the team from Segway and chatted about internet stuff. Because that’s what you do at an interactive festival.

Dinner at Stubbs was awesome (See David, Stephanie & Eric from Segway, and John from PsychCentral above) and we enjoyed great bbq and deep-fried everything.

A few beers and an early night tonight, as SXSW kicks off officially tomorrow. Woot!
