We want to satiate your geekgasm, and by we, I mean Veronica Belmont, Casey McKinnon, Glenda Bautista, Ryan King and Ariel Waldman.
An advanced course on enjoying SXSW - attending the best panels, meeting interesting people and achieving geekgasm - without making a mess. SXSW is huge. With lots of panels, tons of people and even more free drinks, sorting through all these options can be a daunting task. While you don't want to plan every minute of your time here, a little bit of planning can go a long way. We'll share our previous experiences of meeting people, painting the town red, and still making it to a panel or two. Plus, we'll dish out our best tips, from where to hang out to who to hook up with - or, more importantly, who NOT to hook up with!
P.S. We got shafted on room size, so if you want to see this most awesome panel, get there early!

hey ariel,
We have some great rooms available offsite at BarcampAustin 3 that you're more than welcome to use if you like.
See
http://barcamp.org/Bar...You don't have to do anything other than show up and do your thing. Either way, hope to bump into you guys when in town, and we love Pownce :)

I so wanted to attend SxSW this year but can't.
Please tell Casey that "nimble2" sends her lots of luck.
She should know.

I sooo wish I could make sxsw this year. Unfortunately, there is something called an "iPhone" (I don't know, I live in Canada, never heard of it), and something is going down with that which has got me up to my ears making iPhone themed gaming sites... it's a little sickening actually... and cruel since I don't have one myself...
sxsw sounds infinitely more exciting though. I'll make it next year (though I said that last year).
