This is Walt and Nick and my second annual migration to Austin to attend South by Southwest (SXSW) 2004. This year Nick signed up for Film, while Walt and I continue to attend the Interactive festival. Also, Ted and Michelle are here this year because a short film they did was accepted into the film festival. So far, so good. It’s great to see Nick and Walt again. I’ve missed them since last year.

PS. Both last year and this year I had layovers in Houston and each time I’ve seen famous people in the airport. Last year I saw Vern Troyer, who plays Mini Me in the Austin Powers movies. This year, completely opposite physically, I saw David Robinson.

    That is absolutely uncanny! First mini-Me then The Admiral? That is just really weird.

    Also, gotta love the “No People” sign on the engine. Nice shot.

    don’t you think that no people sign should count as “Street writing”?

    How does it feel to be stalked by famously statured persons at the Houston airport?

    I saw Babyface in the Houston airport, a year ago; boarding the plane I had just left.
