Ready To Go At South By Southwest


Posted by Mitch Wagner, Mar 11, 2007 08:56 AM

I'm here in Austin, Texas, for the South by Southwest conference, four days of Web 2.0. I think I like Austin. Getting off the plane, a woman pulled me aside from the crowd and asked me what flight I'd been on. I said where we'd originated, and she said we weren't the flight she was waiting for. "But," she added, "I'm glad y'all landed safely." That's the kind of friendliness you expect in Texas. In San Diego, where I live, she would have said, "Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude" and in New York, where I'm from, she would have hit me over my head and taken my wallet.
