SXSW Interactive - Orange Badging it this Year.

 

I did the platinum pass last year and it was totally awesome/exhausting. By the time I got to music I was pretty wiped out, went, but wasn't nearly as into it as the geek fest that starts off the festival. 4-5 movies a day is pretty intense too.

 

Can't wait for this year's festivities and my friends coming in to town! I will keep this page updated so you know how to find me. Those of you staying at my place, I will give you a key to make edits to this page.
