Cindy and the SXSW team were awesome enough to put Sunday, Jon, and myself on the guest list last night for the Web Awards (or “Webbies” as Sunday says is the industry term). Eugene Mirman hosted the event and was pretty hilarious. Not quite as funny though as the Ninja that accepted awards for those not in attendance. On that note – it was a shame that the winner of the Student category was not there to accept – what an honor to even be nominated as a student for SXSW, but to not show up?!?
