Scott Beale and I are in Austin, Texas attending SXSW Interactive and have had the opportunity to again hang out in real life with popular internet memes, Tard the Grumpy Cat, Blake Boston aka “Scumbag Steve” and Nyan Cat creator Chris Torres. If you are attending SXSW, you can meet them at Mashable House on March 8, 9, and 10 (full schedule). “Scumbag Steve” even performed a bunch of rap songs!
Here’s some photos:
