Photos: Scenes on the eve of SXSW

For years, one of the whimsical features of SXSW has been a giant pile of Legos in a corner of the Austin Convention Center, there for anyone to play with. On Thursday, the evening before SXSW officially begins, the pile of bricks sits seemingly untouched. Soon, though, there are guaranteed to be creations of all kinds in the area.
