Field Notes Inside an Integrated Communications Agency

Meeting a lot of people so far. Ran into Bryan Zmijewski (from high school) and his coworker Jeremy.  Asked Steven Johnson to sign my book with a silver AIGA marker - I think the marker sort of threw him off. Met a couple of guys (Ian and Christian) from Deep Focus and got an update on a great friend that recently left the agency.

I had a delicious dinner and mojitos at Dona Emilias.  I have to be careful or I will eat every meal at Dona Emilias.

I just landed in Austin for SXSW. Looking forward to registering tomorrow morning and getting into the swing of things. I am going to blog while here and twitter and pownce regularly.

Look for Gin_Gin on Pownce. Gingin on Twitter or stay-tuned to this blog.

If you are at the conference, I have darts, luggage tags and pens I am going to be handing out. I'll be sure to twitter when I shoot them in the panels!

Karen Ingram (my sister) has really awesome postcards. If you see us, stop us we have stuff to give away. 

I am heading to SXSW Interactive Week March 7-11. Anyone else heading out there? The panels look really interesting. The only one I am 100% sure I will go to is "Logos: Why They're Irrelevant and Can Actually Hurt Your Business" by Bryan Zmijewski. I went to high school with Bryan and have not caught up with him since then. He's going to have both Ingram's to deal with since both Karen and I are going.

This will be my third year (alum 2004 and 2005).
