Day four at SXSW and if the decor at our dinner spot was any indication, things finally got weird in Austin…

Nomnom:

The food was delicious, but the ambiance was even better at Ranch 616.

Not an official member of the waitstaff, but an attentive host at Ranch 616 nonetheless!

Overheard:

“Snapchat is like your college bar. Instagram stories are more like ‘drinks and dinner’ for older folks.” – One gal to another before a session got started.

 

 

Celebrity-ish sighting:

Tennessee Titans’ Derrick Morgan talking about his “Huddle Ventures” initiative in the Comcast Social Media Lounge.

Free stuff:

Speaking of the Comcast Lounge – free espresso bar for registrants and we only found out about it on Monday. #Fail

But we did spot an opportunity to cuddle puppies! #Win (Although neither of us personally cuddled a puppy for fear of coming home with one… #SelfRestraint)

A puppy activation? We're in!
