Most unexpected meetup ever So last night I'm at this SXSW party, where I met a lot of people. One of these people was a cute guy with glasses and sideburns who sort of reminded me of someone else I'd met recently.

Tonight, who should I see but this same guy, and his look-a-like right behind him! Naturally I insisted on taking a picture of the together, after which we got to talking. He says to me "you remind me a little of my friend Specklet". Wait a minute! I know Specklet! I've drunk whiskey with Specklet! And by the way, being compared to her is one of the better compliments I have ever received.

Me3dia, it was a pleasure running into you. Let's do that again soon. Anyone else in Austin this week?

Ha, cali! As soon as I read "cute guy with glasses and sideburns" I thought "me3dia". This is great.

Where are the pix?

Last year, there was a huge file of featured artist MP3's on the sxsw site. It doesn't look like they've done the same this year. Which is a shame, because I really loved listening to it.

Here's photographic proof! Great meeting you, too, cali. Glad that the Specklet was able to bring us together.

That is outlandish! Love when these things happen. You must have somehow picked up on the secret bunny signal.

Wow, that's all kinds of crazy! I'm very glad to have been a part of it.

And cali, I'm so very happy to be compared to you! Woo!

I'm scared to touch that torrent. I never finished last year's (best find: The Kills), and the last thing I need is more MP3s in my inbox. Damn you, SXSW! Damn you to hell! *shakes fist*
