No, it really is. What is going on?
Today is my first day of SXSW, having spent the last few days trying and failing to work. I’ve been building up to this by doing very little, confident in the knowledge that my considerably more local friends could look after me.
However, I have been invited to join in an experiment, joining in on audio posts on the very excellent poshdeluxe. Basically, I call a phone number, leave a message, and it turns up on a blog. On the Internet. With very little input from any humans.
This is it. The first step of the robots taking over.

So I got my wristband for SXSW today. I completely missed the lines by popping down in the morning the day before the music starts rather than do what graduate students should spend spring break doing: sleeping until the afternoon.
I think this calls for a badly taken photograph of my awesome wristband!!

There we go. I also saw Adam Yauch strolling around downtown Austin when I came back out. That was pretty awesome. I saw a bonafide Beastie Boy. Well, he was walking along outside the convention centre.
I need to get all Jedi with the camera I think. Or at least remember to bring it out.
Bring on the music!!
