SXSW. Oh, SXSW. Where to begin? Well, Bob Garfield was there. AgencySpy was there. Ashton Kutcher was there. Twitter Founder Evan Williams was there. iJustine was there. Everyone was there. Some loved it. Some hated it. Some of the content was good. Some of the content was truly terrible. Here, in no particular order, are some of our notes from the five day conference. Not unsurprisingly, most of them do not have to do with panels.

- Sixth Street is a panalopy of late night entertainment. Pizza. Half-dressed women with strange body paint. Hot college women in hot pants and boots.

- Amanda Coolong is in a LOT of pictures.

- The Driskill Hotel is where all the (self?) important people can be found later in the evening.

- The Foursquare guys are really nice.

- Coloblow says poopin' is good.

- Booth babes can be found on the sidewalk.

- Joe Jaffe still never shaves.

- Lisa Bettany and Sarah Austin are really pretty.

- Bob Garfield still thinks the entire advertising business is going to end in chaos.

- Cute dancers dressed in sexy lingerie still the main source of entertainment at ad conferences.

- Allie Sullivan knows how to rock a boa.

- Not all keynote interviewers are qualified to interview.

- Some tables will always hold a special place in the heart.

- Krista Neher never fails to strike a perfect pose.

- In Austin you can find really strange looking creatures on the sidewalk.

- Some people like to wear lettuce on their head during lunch.

- There's always a pretty girl working alone oblivious to all the people staring at her.
