One of our favorite things about Toons is the shuffleboard. I’ve been playing shuffleboard there since way back in 2004 or 2005.
Oh, and if you couldn’t tell from my friends’ shirts, these photos were taken during World Cup, which is why this douche kept blowing a vuvuzela in my face.

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.
