I just got back from SXSW in Austin, TX. I had a great time and met a lot of great people. I also got to hang out with a lot of people the I know from the interweb but don't get to see very often, like Steve Garfield. On Mon. night we went to the Red Eyed Fly bar in Austin for an event called Fray Cafe. I didn't know about Fray before, but its a website with a rich history. It was one of the earliest blogs before "blog" was a word, and it featured original, personal stories submitted by people around the world. Its still going, and each year at SXSW they do a live open-mic event where people tell their own stories. It was a lot of fun. Steve ended up telling a story about the first time he saw Elvis Costello in 1977 ("My Aim Is True" tour), but he had originally intended to tell a story about FireAnt.
