you just sang that in your head didn’t you?

so i still don’t have a cable to update my photos, which I’m gutted about. when i do, i will let you know and they will be tagged sxsw on my flickr account, the details of which can be found on the righthand side of this page.

well, what can i say? Austin has a LOT of bars!!! we’ve taken the opportunity to consume a few afternoon drinks and so far everything’s gone swimmingly. that of course is with the exception of the door incident. i was in the hotel lobby with a friend that i’m sharing a room with. she decided to head back to the room to have a shower and after 5 minutes, i decided to make my way back to the room as at this stage we only had 30 minutes before we were due to go out for dinner.

anyone who knows me would be the first to tell you that 30 minutes is not a lot of time for me! it takes a lot of work to polish this old rock! so i get back to the room and try putting my card in the door only to find that the door isn’t unlocking. so at this stage i politely do a little tap on the door to get in to the room. i could hear the tv on in the background and was conscious that she might be in the shower, so i thought i would give her 5 minutes.

5 minutes later and i’m still stood outside of the room, so i decide to knock more loudly. as more time passes, my knocks are now getting more and more impatient and i’m getting quite miffed that i should be in the shower by now. with that the people staying next door returned to their room and gave me a really odd look - which i just put down to the fact that i must look “english”.

following another 5 minutes of knocking, a door opens behind me. as i turn around, it was my boss - which seemed incredibly strange as i was staying 3 floors lower. it was only at this stage i realised i had been hounding the wrong door. the person in the room probably looked out of the peep hole and thought that i was a mad nutter. with that, i literally ran to the lift and when i got to the right room - surprisingly the key worked!
