SXSW Interactive 2008 – Pre-Morning Wakeup Planning
Slept terrible last night so going to grab the starbucks. Today is the first full day. There are ton of events going on and as usual so many at the same time. The schedule online at sxsw.com is really hard to use. I came across this site that manages the SXSW schedule in a unique and highly usefull manner. If I only had a printer. The first session I plan on trying to attend half / and half of the accessibility and Design is in the details. There are 2 other panels I would like to attend at 10:00 but I don’t see that happening.
Last night attended the mix at 6 party. It was much more crowded then last year. Met a few people in line, but once inside it was really too crowded to socialize. Once again they failed to listen and cranked the music loud. So we all had to yell at the top of our voices to talk to other people. Why didn’t they listen to last year and actually keep the music a bit lower like background noise. It was much easier to talk to people outside.
After staying there a few minutes met some new people and headed to dinnner. Moved location to the Spider House Bar and then off to a musuem for some more socializing. The art on display as Latin virgins and saints. One particular painting really was disturbing. It was a large mural of hell and heaven. The night was going to continue to the next venue but it was nw 11:30 or 12:00 so I opted to head back to the hotel and get a good nights rest. As you could tell from up above that did not happen!
