For several days before the festival, I’d been telling Internet provocateur Loren Feldman of the aggro satire video site (with puppets) 1938media that when I saw him at South by Southwest, I was going to give him a hug.
At first he resisted, shooting off a string of profanity and protest on Twitter. But I knew that I could wear him down over time with my incredible persistence. (Just ask my wife.)
That hug was finally delivered in the TechSet Lounge, about 4:05 p.m. You can see it below.
