Ryan’s SXSW Tweet Journal Day 0 – Ryan Reaches Austin

Greetings CriterionCast readers! Day 1 of SXSW has come to an end, and for all of you not following me on Twitter, I thought I’d share my journey for the day. I’ll return to annotate my adventures, but for now, here are my raw thoughts, slightly out of context. I made sure to delete any @ replies I might have made to people, where you wouldn’t be able to see the initial questions or responses.

One thing to keep in mind with the timestamps: my Twitter feed thinks I am still on West Coast time, so it should be adjusted + 2 hours, for Central time.

Good night everyone, I’m shutting everything down, all packed and ready for the airport in a few hours, see you in Austin! #sxsw

I’m so glad I didn’t fly Southwest to Austin for #SXSW, huge line avoided. Alright Frontier, don’t let me down.

Connecting to my Austin flight, should be here an hour or so. (@ Denver International Airport (DEN) w/ 31 others)

Eesh it is crowded here at the Denver Airport. Also, the Frontier flight was the bumpiest/scariest I’ve experienced in a while. #SXSW #whine

Proof that hard work pays off. Or that it’s really easy to get one of these. #SXSW http://flic.kr/p/7K7BK9

Hanging out at Vanessa’s with the most chill dog in existence. He just plopped down next to me on the couch and hasn’t budged. #SXSW

Also at Vanessa’s: the most hyperactive kitten in existence. Its running laps around this place, & scaling anything it can get its claws on.

5:07 PM Mar 11th via TweetDeck

I’m at The Liberty (1618 1/2 E 6th St, Austin) w/ 2 others.

6:18 PM Mar 11th via foursquare

It’s a little eerie, how much Austin feels like San Diego. Maybe hanging out with SD ex-pats has something to do with it.

8:07 PM Mar 11th via TweetDeck

I’m at H-E-B (1000 E 41st St, Red River St, Austin). http://4sq.com/5G9aQy

8:13 PM Mar 11th via foursquare

About to watch either Erasing David, or Crying with Laughter, which to watch?

8:54 PM Mar 11th via TweetDeck

On an allergy note: these claritin are totally not letting me sneeze, despite this adorable kitten running around, tempting my sneezes.

8:58 PM Mar 11th via TweetDeck

Film friends in Austin: I’m heading to downtown early tomorrow, despite nothing happening panel/screening wise. Want to grab breakfast?

9:00 PM Mar 11th via TweetDeck

Oh my god, when will this “Twitter: The Criterion Collection” video die? It’s filling up my Criterion search box, every freaking day.

9:10 PM Mar 11th via TweetDeck

Currently watching: Erasing David. Why would anyone want to hide from the world for a month? ;)

9:51 PM Mar 11th via TweetDeck

Whoa, a #SXSW press email just revealed a bunch of email addresses, instead of sending it to the group.
