It was my Wonder Boys moment.
Bruce Sterling invited the SXSW Interactive bunch to a post-party at his house, which just happened to be right down the street from Tim. About 600 people came and filled the place with booze, geek talk, prettiness, stinkiness, and an all around good time. Highlights include:
Free Titos.
Asking David Weinberger to take a photo of Tim and I without realizing it was David Weinberger, “A-list blogger”.
Hitting it off with David Weinberger.
Swapping Wolfram stories.
Meeting Carl de Cordova and talking architecture, Everquest addiction, and Training For the Apocalypse (”interesting”).
Peeing in Bruce Sterling’s Bathroom.
The real indietim.
George, negrophile.
“Oh, have you ever seen the Big Lebowski?”
Getting told a bad linear algebra joke.
3 enviable porches.
Talking to a slew of tech-famous people and not even knowing it.
A bowl of corks.
Psycho Eels fan.
Shoe compliments.
Random Hyde Park notables like the Fresh Plus cashier and Quackenboosh Todd who didn’t seem to mind hitting on me in front of Tim.
Drunken frat boy, speechless, resorting to the power of *the dance*.
Here’s a few photos I took.
Sterling’s pics of the aftermath.
