Abdul is ready to cover the SXSW Interactive parties! He arrives at GSD&M for the first soiree... Next |
||
|
He eavesdrops on conversations, taking mental notes. Unfortunately, his mental note of "I smell cake" was the only thing he could remember later. Next |
|||
|
|||
|
"Who are you?" inquired Abdul, the nosy reporter. "We are Russell Crowe and Meg Ryan after extensive plastic surgery!" "Oh boy! Another scoop!" smirked the bear, dreaming of selling the story to the National Enquirer. "What a dope," whispered "Russell" and "Meg". Next |
|||
|
|||
| Abdul sees his pal, the fabulous John Styn. Then he sees the more fabulous Miss M, John's lady. "Kissy, kissy!" Next | |||
|
|
||
|
John gives Abdul the boot with his glitter shoes after catching Abdul smooching with Miss M. "Ow! I was just researching a story," claimed the bear. Next |
|||
|
|||
|
Abdul lands face first in the AMD cake. "Yum! Food at last!" mumbled the hungry reporter. Next |
|||
|
|||
|
Abdul goes to another soiree to check out the Sexiest Geek Alive contest. His stay is brief after he notes that the really sexy geeks must be dead because these people are not sexy at all. "The contestants are men! I'm off to the SXSW Web Awards!" Next |
|||
|
|
|||
|
Things are definitely more fun at the Web Awards at the fancy Four Seasons Hotel, where the cute DJ plies Abdul with beer. Abdul has dressed up as the Sorcerer's apprentice, just to keep up with the chic John Styn, who is master of ceremonies. Next |
|||
|
|
||
|
True to form, the incomparable John Styn has on what appears to be the world's largest cowboy hat. Next |
|||
|
|||
|
But Abdul storms the podium, claiming that his hat is bigger! John orders him off the stage. "Mine's bigger" grumbles the bear as he exits the stage. Next |
|||
|
|
||
|
Abdul is cautioned about his behavior by Hugh, the director of SXSW. "Just trying to liven things up, Hugh!" slurs the sorcrerer. Hugh seems appeased as he poses for his annual "caught in the headlights" photo with Abdul. Next |
|||
|
|||
|
After the awards ceremony, John and Abdul make up. Abdul, who doesn't like to share the limelight, is even getting along with Joey the Monkey! Next |
|||
|
|
||
|
Until the crowds leave. Then Abdul attacks Joey! "I'm the only cute stuffed animal at SXSW! Got it? ME! Only ME!!!" Poor Joey is stunned, but recovers quickly after security escorts the bear from the premises. Next page: Report 4 - Barbie dolls and movie directors |
