For ten days, Austin, TX is going to morph from a pleasant little metropolis to a post-apocalyptic wasteland of free beer, music, badges, sales pitches, networking, and couch surfers. Yes, South By Southwest is nearly upon us and, since I live in Austin, I’ll be here to provide all the gory details. But, like any battle, its best to plan before entering the fray. So, all next week, we’re going to give you all the tools to survive SXSW, with a series of posts spotlighting who to see and who to skip. Here’s the tentative schedule:
Monday: Film and 3/13-3/16
Tuesday: 3/17
Wednesday: 3/8
Thursday: 3/19
Friday: 3/20
I’m hoping to include all kinds of YouTube and MySpace links for sampling before you commit and, together, maybe we can make sense of the mess of day parties and showcases that is about to descend on ATX. Lone Stars and Breakfast Tacos on me everyone!
