This weekend was the start of SXSW in Austin.
South By South West is film/music festival that happens every spring in Austin.

I got together with people from Google+ to have a "Hangout In Real Life"
Some of these people traveled across the country to come hang out in Austin.
it was definitely fun to meet these strangers.

Google had set up an open bar for us "HIRL"ers.











I had a lot of fun and without knowing these people I didnt know if I was going to get butt raped or not. Especially since we stayed at a host home.
I might go next weekend to catch the end of the festival.
