On the heels of a very successful Winter X Games Europe in Tignes, France, I left Europe headed directly to Stubb’s BBQ in Austin, TX for the Live Diggnation Event! Over 3400 rabid Diggnation fans crowded Stubb and were there to witness cool friend of Digg, Leo Laporte chug a beer and crowd surf. I’m excited to say that TriCaster XD300 was there to bring the fans even close to the action!

Although the Revision3 event wasn’t an “official” SXSW event, it was THE event to attend on Saturday night! The VIP section was a Who’s Who of tech and press.

Two of my daughters love singing the national anthem! Our oldest daughter started off singing the Star Spangled Banner a few years ago and our 5 year old wanted to get in on the fun. Tonight, Sage and Natalie sang the national anthem at the Upwards Basketball awards ceremony. Enjoy.
