Austin During SXSW

On Saturday, Josh and I were trying to figure out what to do when he had a great suggestion — walk around downtown checking out the SXSW scene. It was gorgeous outside, so off we went.

We started off more in the west section of downtown, where there wasn’t a lot of activity.

Then we headed over to Sixth Street and to the Convention Center.. where the activity was more.. but still not a lot..

And then we stopped at Chupacabra for margaritas and general people-watching

Getting our interactive on.. using free Clear Wireless at Chupacabra on the ipod touch and watching a bing car go by asking if Iron Works or Salt Lick has better BBQ..

And finally.. stepping it out.. and walking by the Belmont on our way back to the car..

  1. That looks like such a lovely walkabout! I especially loved the roller girl and the progressive margarita shots. Yum (the margarita, not the roller girl).
