Well, the weekend has begun. Short recap:
Most people flew in, dropped their bags at their hotels and headed off to Breaking Bread with Brad, the usual kickoff to sxsw. There were over 50 people there, most of whom I managed to recognize (if not remember their names). The we were moved along in favor of the crowd waiting to see Loretta Lynn perform, so we started roaming the streets in search of someplace that would serve alcohol and not check ids, or at least not require them for entrance, since some people were not of the proper age and others had forgotten their ids. In California. We ended the party portion of the evening at the Omni, where much alcohol was consumed, and a lot of lipstick was left on cheeks.

Then we came back to the hotel and had some greasy pizza.

Personal alcohol tally: 3 Shiner Bocks, 2 cranberry vodkas, and a vodka collins (suggested by Shaun). And no hangover this morning. Awwww yeah.

Now we're off to Kick!, after picking up some sunscreen ('cause it doesn't matter that it's overcast ... I'll burn anyway).
