Picture Show: Street Scenes from SXSW

It was perfect weather for taking it to the streets yesterday in Austin, which is why our feet were a couple of blood-filled balloons by late last night. Good thing there's plenty of street pizza and bizarre performances on 6th street to stop and (rest) watch. Yesterday was no different;...

It was perfect weather for taking it to the streets yesterday in Austin, which is why our feet were a couple of blood-filled balloons by late last night.

Good thing there's plenty of street pizza and bizarre performances on 6th street to stop and (rest) watch. Yesterday was no different; it was certainly overflowing with SXSW street oddities.

After the jump, we were able to take the pressure off of our ~~swollen blood sacks~~feet for a moment to capture the best SXSW street scenes. Stay tuned for more from SXSW Saturday, of course.

Hopefully we can complete some bingo today.
