I talked to Jessa tonight and I think she might have convinced me to go to Austin at the same time as the South by Southwest Festivals and Conferences. The conference itself is mighty expensive, but the word on the street is it’s good to go just to be in town while the conference is going on, even if you don’t get to go to the sessions.
I’d really like to do the sessions however, but I don’t think my job will pay for me, and I know I can’t afford it.
In any case, here are some questions for my readers. What can be done in Austin during the week of the festival without going to the conference? Where do people stay? Anyone from “here” want to go?

*shrug* I’ll be at the conference, so I’m no help. =)
Are you INSANE???
The best thing about SXSW at all is All The BOOZE You Inhale while out on the town!
(I swear that Shiner Bock must be a Huge Sponsor for the event.)
Yeah, but really – how early can you start drinking?
It’s Texas, M-D. With some attendees, it starts with their first morning 6 pack at 8:00 a.m.
(Lite beer, to be sure. It’s more of a breakfast beverage. The Imported hard stuff comes out after 3:00 p.m.)
I…I have no words.
