Having fun but wearing myself out covering the SXSW Interactive/Film/Music Festival. My wife and I went to the funnest party last night. It was held at a classic and wonderful BBQ joint called The County Line. They had a huge spread of wonderful BBQ that was all you can eat. There were celebrities in the audience, like "Ma Richards," Cactus Pryor, and others; a silent auction; a live longhorn; and plenty of happy to be there people. After everyone ate their fill, they set up the movie screen and showed a new documentary called "BBQ: A Texas Love Affair." Narrated by former Governor Ann Richards, it was just the perfect setting to enjoy and celebrate this movie. It really did a good job of explaining the "bring the family together" power that BBQ holds in this state. Very fun.
Checked out the gadgets and companies exhibiting in the Trade Show. Saw a very cool portable tablet/notebook computer; and lots and lots of high end movie cameras.
Going to hopefully see a screening of "Dogville" tonight, then back to the house for some last minute emails regarding ad sales.
Meant to post an entry regarding PDL today, but hit the ground running this morning and never let up for a breather, which would've been nice. While I'm waiting in line for the movie I'll be reading the new issue of CCM, which just hit my mailbox.
