words and pictures by Brian Solis
During SXSW Interactive 2009, interesting, notable, and unexpected geeks as well as the Internet Famous filled the streets in and around the conference and the after hours parties.
Some of my best encounters happened simply by walking from point A to point B.
I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the stories…
