To say that my first day at SXSW was interesting would not be doing it justice. Getting from Point A to Point B was rough at times, and trying to figure out venue and panel logistics was a whole new ball game, whether it was actually trying to get a decent spot in line or looking for the best panel at the expense of missing out on other things.

Having said that, though, the day was incredible. I met John Kasich and Elizabeth Warren, got to meet with a panelist on reflective sand for the climate, and let myself get lost i the flow of the day!
