Looks like I’ll be going to SXSW 2008 again this year. It’ll be my second time. Right now I’m just waiting on my email confirmation and then I’ll book my flight tomorrow. This year should be even better because I’m staying right across from the convention center. No more cabs and shuttles! I still remember the area pretty well and I know what to expect from the event. If anyone else is going to be there and wants to meet up, drop me an email (chrispian[at]gmail.com).
I may try to do some event blogging while I’m there, but mostly I’m looking forward to learning from all the talented folks who’ll be there and meeting new people!
Update: Looks like everything is all set! Woot!
it’ll be great to finally meet you!
Hey Chrispian! We met at a party at last year’s SXSW (I forget who sponsored it, but the venue was the Fox & the Hound) and talked about Refresh Austin – glad to hear you’re coming back! Southy-By is always a great event and a good place to meet folks. Drop me a line if you want to meet other folks, we locals will likely have a decent size contingent. :)
Hmm….
Darren – Indeed. Looking forward to it. It’ll be cool to finally meet face to face.
Alex – I do indeed remember you, and several other of the locals that made it to the Fox & The Hound (man, that was a cool place, I hope they have something there this year). I’ll send you an email so we can meet up while I’m down there.
Patrick – I know man. I just got a deal I couldn’t refuse!
Can I tag along? :)
Of course. If you aren’t too bogged down with all the swag! ;)
I was another one of the Refreshers that met you last year. Great to hear you’ll be headed out again!
Grant, good to hear from you. Looking forward to seeing everyone again!
