AROUND AUSTIN Around Austin

SXSW, ARRIVAL 

I wish so much that I could have blogged yesterday about being Around Austin. But I was not around Austin, despite well-made plans. I was in the Laguardia Airport... forever... and the Atlanta Airport, and the Atlanta Airport Days Inn. Thank you, Delta Airlines. 

Shout Outs to my Terminal D buddies, Outfest Programmer Cameron Yates, who left me in the carpeted, airless dust when his desk agent booked him on a flight to San Antonio. And to the lovely Christopher Pace, a SXSW Interactive attendee with whom I joined forces during the great hotel voucher fiasco, and with whom I was forced to share a room at the Days Inn. Here is a picture of our matching toothbrushes -- once more, thank you Delta Airlines. 


Then I got here, hooray. I was delirious. But nice faces like Lance Weiller jarred me back to reality. Weiller is not only premiering his new Babelgum web series here, but also promulgating some kind of Live Alternative Reality role-playing game, which I did not understand. He said it was all around me, and I would understand soon. Or I that maybe it wasn't, and I won't. Maybe I am still in the airport. Cagey Lance would give me no answers.
