Only 361 days until SXSW 2001

Live from Austin, TX

What can one say about a day that begins with a presentation by Mr. Whole Earth/Long Now and ends with a kegger at Bruce Sterling's house? Well, the interjection "whew!" comes to mind. SXSW2000 has certainly provided its share of good times, and today's assortment was emblematic. So many creative, energetic and preternaturally friendly folks in one place. Big fun.

The weblog roundtable was, as expected, a relatively spirited discussion on the evolutionary use by individuals of this new medium. Proponents, practitioners, naysayers and detractors alike contributed thoughtfully to the mix, and the whole thing was ably and amiably guided by moderator Derek Powazek. No big surprises, but lots to chew on in the coming months. As Nikolai noted: "Only 361 days until SXSW2001."

Thanks to Ev, Meg, Paul and the whole Blogger crew for the nifty t-shirts.

Today: Knocking about Austin freestyle, and — inevitably — the return to reality. Stay tuned for pictures, pictures, pictures...same Brad time, same Brad channel.
