As some of you may know both my daughters are studying Drama in London. Last time when I visited them I met two friends of Kim, Georgia Munnion and Lauren Hopkins.

Ideas and alibis are very much alike. Everyone has plenty of both. Some are good, and some are bad. The big difference is that while no one has a problem using alibis, very few are willing to consistently act on their ideas (me included). Excuses, Excuses.

It’s April. The weather is starting to get nicer, Easter is around the corner…and hundreds of people are going streaking! No, you don’t have to be nervous about heading outside today.

I started working on a recap post of this year’s SXSW, and every time I did, it turned into a short novel. There’s a lot of exciting stuff that goes on there. Since few people, other than say…my mother, want to read about my trip in that much detail, I thought I should trim it down. So here is my recap, in 350 words or less: SXSW 2009.
