Torrential rains welcomed us to Texas last night, which we found rather soothing for our parched Southern California soul as we dashed from 6th Street bar to 6th Street bar catching up with old friends.

We’re a day or two late to the SXSW party, but we promise to make up for it with lotsa dirt on your favorite interactive designers, a one-on-one with Ze Frank (we were practically drooling), an appearance by mediabistro.com mom Laurel Touby, and of course, plenty of smoked meats. Stay tuned!
