Guess Who: Sxsw Edition
Fred Armisen!
And...
LeVar Burton!
Both were doing a Q&A at the Sennheiser+Paste Magazine Interactive Studio and Lounge. LeVar was really laid back and spoke about a new Reading Rainbow application for the Ipad. He also spoke about Star Trek and his new show on TNT.
Fred talked about Portlandia and how lucky how felt to be as successful as he has been. He really worked the crowd and at one point went through the crowd to go to the bar and give the bartenders hugs and photos. As he was making his way back to the stage he crossed through where I was standing so I had to move out of his way and he sort of shimmied his way against me to get up there. He's rather lanky and soft-spoken in person. Seemed genuinely nice though.
Also, Amanda Palmer was there and she was being her usual amazing self.
Are there any other ONTDers who are attending sxsw? Have you guys seen any celebs? I also saw Mae Whitman on South Congress.
