After Kick! and after attending some panels in the afternoon, we met up with Ted and Michelle for dinner. Nick, Ted and Michelle are all here for the film festival so they were off to see a showing of Supersize Me after dinner, while Walt and I attended an Interactive party thrown by Frog Design. I wasn’t really into the party so we only stayed a while before heading back to 6th Street, having a beer, then returning to the hotel. When Nick arrived he taught us how to play Texas Hold’em and we stayed up playing with change until about 3:30 a.m.

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.

Without missing a beat, I returned to New York, worked a full day and then joined everyone for a night out to wish Thea farewell after finishing her second to last day at our company. I’m exhausted but it was fun. Good luck, Thea. You will be missed!
