The SXSW Experience
In roughly 3 days I’ll be enroute to Austin, TX to take part in the SXSW (South by Southwest) Interactive conference. I’m bound to be a bit overwhelmed by the festivities and elbow-rubbing parties, but I won’t lie, I’m pretty excited to meet in person the numerous amounts of online buddies I’ve made and collaborated with over the years.
To be honest, I’m clueless in regards to the seminars and presentations taking place due in part to the mess of information on the SXSW site. If anyone has put together a “SXSW Guide for Dummies”, let me know, since I’ll be running around trying to figure out what seminars/presentations/discussions will be worth attending.
If all goes as planned, I’ll be hanging with my travel pals Dave Seah and Eric Shepard and will most likely document the entire experience here, over a series of 5 days with exclusive photos and anecdotes-o-plenty.
Let me know if you’re going to be there since I’d like to meet and greet as many people as possible so I have something to write home about.
Austin here I come!

Dave: I can relate, considering I’ve got plenty to get done beforehand and little time to work with. Should I ready the cardboard sign? “Dave Seah”
Mike: Mmmm. Let’s hope whatever they have down there is as good as Rochester’s offerings in fine, Indian cuisine.
Paul: If it’s not a disembodied head, well, I don’t know what to say really. :)
Pete: Oh yeah, I would never forget. We’ll be in touch soon.

There’s been so much rave going on about the SXSW Conference that it makes me wanna hop on a plane and stop by. You have a legitimate reason to be excited. I’m looking forward to the play by play on the event.
