SXSW 07: I'm in your state, stealing your runaways photo

What's left over of the GDC 07 crew -- Niero, PR Nightmare and myself -- have just landed in Austin, Texas, for the South by Southwest Interactive festival. We're not 100% sure on what sort of gaming juice we'll be able to squeeze out of this thing, but rest assured, we'll bring the heat.

After catching the red eyes last night -- literally, all three of us have red eyes -- we're just about set to begin the Austin runaway search. We've counted two so far, one at the airport and one holding a sign on the way to the hotel, so the roster is filling up -- local girls, get in while you can.

Oh, and how could I forget, Will Wright will speak here on Tuesday. So, definitely be on the look out for that. Until then, keep us in your prayers and dreams.

To be honest, I've never heard of SXSW. I wouldn't mind getting paid to go there though.

It's mainly a huge indie music festival, but they just so happen to be having an "Interactive" portion and of course, Will Wright will be here. So, yeah, we're here.

I'm pretty jealous, SXSW has a fantastic lineup. I was gonna try to go, but I chose Coachella/Vegas instead.

Damn if it weren't for a friend's wedding I'd finally be able to attempt to meet the Dtoid crew in person (I'm in Houston). If y'all have never been to Austin you should be in for a damn fine trip.

And if you get the munchies may I recommend a burger at Fran's on south Congress. Tiny bit of a drive but well worth it.

I'd like to take this opportunity to declare my man-crush on Mr. Summa. I bet you smell like cigarettes and stale puppies.

You people... just let the fuckers smoke, its not like people lives depend on their actions. Let em enjoy their nicotine. No one gives you shit about your bad habits.

if I'm not mistaken, those are Camel Lights also, don't forget that endorsement. I mean, everyone knows looking cool gets kids to smoke, and look how freaking cool Summa looks with that cigarette.

Did you know the starbucks logo is actually a mermaid opening her fins to be penetrated?
I'll bet you didn't Jack.

Either way, fuck it - why does nothing exciting like this happen in England? All we get are boring meetings for suits to discuss how well Fifa XYZ did last year.

Hey, I never said that smelling of cigarettes was a bad thing. I quite like the smell, and it's better than smelling like the inside of John Goodman's chaps.
