This week’s “Austin in 10 Pics or Less” pertains to our Monday night out for the SXSW Interactive mixer. We sure had a lot of fun, check it out:

[PIC ONE]

We arrived at Mohawk on 9th and Red River at about 7:30 and parking sucked because the Frank Erwin Stadium is up the street and the Kansas Jayhawks had come to visit Austin with sad hopes of winning (which they did not):

[PIC TWO]

I’m on the left with devil eyes- we were hanging out with Grant and met tons of other peeps like Ryan, Alex (aka Bald Man), Omar, and Thom- most of whom we’d talked to on Twitter prior to the mixer (thank God I look the same in my pics so people recognized me)!

[PIC THREE]

Benn found the fountain of youth via a couple of cadillac margaritas (margaritas w/ Patron).

[PIC FOUR]

I’m more of a beer girl myself. I was thirsty.

[PIC FIVE]

We shut this place DOWN! At 10:30 there were 5 of us left and the free drinks ended. The staff was staring at us, having swept the bar and started kindly tapping toes for us to leave.

Hipster bar, Club Deville is next door to Mohawk so three of us headed over to close THAT bar down. (they were watching the original King Kong or Godzilla on a bigscreen inside, so we sat on the outside patio- it was gorgeous outside)

[PIC SEVEN]

Scott Belmonte, local tech genius was part of our three-person-party at Deville. He had a trendy shirt underneath the Abercrombie jacket, we swear!

[PIC EIGHT]

As did many people, Scott had his laptop and whipped out his Chris Walken SNL collection and proved how ridiculously good his Walken impression was. I think it would have been funny, even without beer!

[PIC NINE]

We then took the beautiful but looong drive home from downtown Austin to Leander. Maybe that’s why we don’t go out all the time…

So, we did it in under 10 pics- sweet! We look forward to seeing all of our new friends from the mixer at “SouthBy” (I learned the trendy shorthand for South By Southwest this week) in March!
