SxSW
I just got back from 5 days at the South by Southwest Interactive Festival, or as I like to call it, The 10th Annual Austin Margarita Drinking Contest.
Some notes –

SFO
Whenever I see a guy walk from the urinal straight out the door, I often want to yell, paternally, “Hey. Get back here and wash your hands!”
It almost happened yesterday. I’m certain it’s going to come out one day and I’m going to get my ass kicked.

Why are there bio-hazard drop boxes in the SFO men’s room? I can’t have tweezers, but someone’s getting surgical equipment to the boarding gates?

FIELD&STREAM
Waiting to board my plane, I grabbed a few of Continental's complimentary magazines. After flipping through Latin Finance and Black Entrepreneur, it was the equally irrelevant Field and Stream that I spent some time with.

Favorite articles include
~ The Wonderful 20 Gauge
~ Tender Mercies: The Perfect Venison Dinner
and, the one I had to read 3 times to believe,
~ Distaff Distress : How to stay in the pink while in wearing camo
Once this 2-page gem got past the fact that women are often pregnant and will therefore have a very hard time dragging the carcass back to the car, it got questionably offensive. There’s one paragraph on avoiding UTIs and better ways to carry gear, then it was back to “I once saw a New York magazine editor pack in 4 liters of Diet Coke and a cell phone to an elk hunt”.

Next time, I’ll stick to 101 Hairstyles or Working Mother.
