Massive queue for Q keynote
There looks to be about 2,000 people in line to hear Quincy Jones’ keynote address. But it should be worth the wait: There’s a grand piano set up on the stage.
(Note: an hour into Quincy’s keynote and he’s gone nowhere near the piano. Nice use of video screen, however, airing Ray Charles singing “My Buddy Quincy” in 1991.)
Kudos to SXSW for having the keynote later in the afternoon that usual. All the day party folks are off in search of their first half dozen free drinks of the day, leaving a little more room for the most serious.
