My flight leaves at 7:13am CST early on Friday morning; I’ll be heading down to Austin, TX for the South By Southwest Interactive (SXSWi). For those who don’t already know, SXSWi is basically THE web developer/designer conference to go to. Woo, nerdfest!
I’ll be there from Friday until Wednesday of next week. That’s a whole lot ‘o nerdin’. I couldn’t be more excited. Panels start at 10am and last an hour or two. The last panel of the day is 5pm. I’m not sure I’ll be able to stand being in panels the whole day, every day, but I’ll do my best.
