SXSW 2011: The tale of the lost man points

So we're here... just, but with far less man points than we started... to be fair I think I've lost out to Ryan on this one

The first points slip from my grasp...

"Hey Rob, where's Marcus live again?"

"I dno you're driving"

"...shit"

It gets better

"So you guys got some money for the taxi"

"...money?"

Ryan get's onboard with the shame...

"You've got a boarding pass for the connecting flight?"

"Yeh, don't you?"

"...shit, we haven't"

It's ok we got the passes... kinda...

"Dude, I'm so unfit, least we're on the tram now. What seat are you?"

"22B"

"Same here... hang on?!"

At least we kept our morals...

"You on this flight too?"

"Yeh, heard they've delayed it a bit for us though"

....

"I'm afraid there's only five seats left"

"THERE'S FIVE OF US"

...

...sorry girls

You may not know this but this blog has been xml based since its inception (in fact there's a longstanding, not yet achieved, task to 'replace' it with a 'better' persistant storage mechanism -- clearly I must agree then, that the perfect is the enemy of the good). But anyway... don't worry. I'm not about to do anotherblogaboutxml.
