Thank You Brad: The Second Time Is For You
As the dust settles on SXSW 2009 and the old lags make their reservations for 2011 (we sorted our Austin 2010 trip last year), I want to take a moment and thank Brad and the team for all their work on the Baby! this year, and in previous years. It’s a privilege to have the Podcasts co-hosted here, and I sure hope that they bring back memories for some of you, and bring a different SXSW to others as you wonder what to do until March next year.
So thank you, one and all.
But just before I disappear into the night, you do recall that Brad was speaking at Fray this year. You mean you missed it? Well, lucky you…

Oh. Oh my. I’d rather forgotten that Ewan had a camera there. (It must have been the post-storytelling whiskey shots and Shiners wot erased my memory.)
Two things, for the record: I realized afterward I’d flubbed the date in my recollection of the story. Examining my journal afterward, I discovered my second time occurred on March 13, 1982, not March 15. I apologize deeply for so misleading my audience, particularly after chiding them into a call-and-response on the point.
Second, I was not the only and by far not the best storyteller at the event, as is the case each and every year I mount the stage. Fray Cafe is one of my very favorite SXSW-adjacent events, and I urge readers one and all to make time for it next year.
Thanks, Ewan, for your contributions to the Baby! and (I think) for sharing this video with the world. Ya rascal, ya!
