Below are some photo highlights from SXSW. You can find more coverage of SXSW on my blog, plus many more pictures on Flickr (soon) and on Facebook here and here.

Shashi Bellamkonda ponders what meat to eat next at Fogo de Chao
Sarah Townsend and Tessa Horehled, joining me for the Whrrl party
Signing a shoe of protest from an amputee that does – ironically – stand-up comedy
Lara Lebeiko signs the shoe. My message: "Kick butt."
Rohit Bhargava juggles rocks at the Belmont; thousands of SXSW'ers flee for their lives (actually he did a fine job, as you can tell from this shot)
After this, a new law was passed banning taking pictures of yourself in the rear view mirror while driving
Fun fact: Austin is the capitol of Texas; not so fun fact; this used to be George W. Bush&39;s office
At Lamberts, this Niman Ranch ribeye slathered in mustard butter with a brown sugar glaze is one of the best cuts of meat I&39;ve ever eaten
No, this is not an error – I just wanted to look at it again
Craig the coder climbs a tree… I started to think maybe I&39;ve been at SXSW a little too long
A socially sensational way to end the show, at Pure Volume with Steve Hall, Baratunde Thurston, and Lara Lebeiko

Show comments Hide commentsOh gee. Can’t get over that Niman Ranch ribeye. Mustard butter with brown sugar glaze? Wow. Thanks for the pics. I always think of Austin in the spring-time…
They carmelize it on with a creme brulee torch. One of the best things I’ve
ever eaten.
