Woke up this morning to a familiar sound; the sound of sleet hitting the window. However, when I opened the blinds I discovered that it was actually large clumps of snow hitting the window. Austin was about to experience a very rare 'Snow Day.' I immediate started anticipating a slew of entertaining tweets from the 'AwesomeAustinites'. But first, I had to satisfy my own need for being goofy and going bonkers for the snow.
I want to give a shout out to @megankeate who caught up with me at the SXSW Interactive Mixer last night. She took the time to compliment the blog and the TwitterTalentedTen.
Also, if anyone's still buzzin' from the USA Hockey win over Canada earlier this week and would like to get more into the sport, this weekend offers a great opportunity. (Goes great with this weather.) The Texas Stars play three games – Friday and Sunday at home, and the Saturday game will be televised on FSN from San Antonio. The Stars will be hosting a viewing party (always fun) at Contenders Sports Bar in Cedar Park. I'll be hitting up each event this weekend, so if anyone is inclined to come along, please feel free to gimme a shout.
All right, enough stalling. I now turn things over to today's TripleT. Enjoy the snow, everyone – before it turns to slush.
