Here it is ... my first SXSW. It really kicked off last night with Ray Benson's birthday party at La Zona Rosa. I didn't stay late enough to rub elbows with the Red Headed Stranger, but just being in the vicinity was good enough for me.

Today: trade show booth set-up, event set-up, a Board meeting, and then our Annual Membership Party. I'm tired already, but excited.

Since we're meeting at 10 a.m. this morning, I woke up early enough to flip through the morning news shows. I had the luck to flip past the 7OO Club and left it on for a minute. I'm really not here to offend or criticize, but I will say this: after watching for four and a half minutes, I had an absolute flash of clarity about the state of our nation based on the numbers of our voting public who rely on this program for their news. Watch it once, you'll see.

I guess I'm one to talk since I rely on Jon Stewart to fill me in on current events.

Okay, I need a nap already, and I haven't even looked for parking yet. Hope everyone is having a muey terrific Spring Break, if you get one!
