Right after my ski trip to Snowmass, CO in March I went to SXSW with the homie Genese of I Don’t Do Clubs. For those of you that don’t know, SXSW is an annual music, film, and interactive conference and festival held in Austin every year.  I went to the interactive part and specifically the Blacks in Tech portion.  I have been to Texas before but it was my first time in Austin. I really liked Austin. It was a cool laid back town. A lot of Mexican influence. Especially with the food. Below are some of the pictures from the couple of days I was there.
