This weekend was nothing short of incredible. I can't remember the last time I've had more fun. We did it all. Everything I had planned to do this weekend was fulfilled to the very last detail and then some. Perfect.I got a huge charge out of attending the live Diggnation event at SXSW in Austin. It was something like a rock concert only with nothing but nerds, geeks and faboys/girls (yes, there were girls there ;).
While waiting in line outside Stubbs, I met Nic, a fledgling podcaster who recently started a show titled, "The Sunday Show". After Diggnation was over, we went around recording interviews and such for his show. We interviewed pretty much everyone from the Rev3 podcast crews who was there.
Then I got to meet Kevin Rose. We got our photograph taken together (which is unfortunately a bit grainy as it was dark). He seems like a really neat guy. Meeting him actually caused me to attach a human quality to him that I had not before considered much. He's flesh and blood just like any of us (and pretty darn cool IRL, too).
At any rate, I can't wait to attend SXSW next year full on! I'm going to make sure I get the entire friggin' week off for that one. It's just that great!
I Saw "Watchmen" today, just before leaving Austin, and it wasn't exactly what I expected. I suppose I was expecting a sort of gritty superhero type of thing but it wasn't really like that. I suppose it just didn't contain the impact I expected. I'll have to see it again and perhaps just break down and read the graphic novel (it will be my first of these), and perhaps the story will grab me. Currently I have neutral feeling towards it. The music was also pretty out of place for the most part. I dunno, I'll just have to give it another chance.
Right, well, I'll be off then. G'night, blogosphere!
