It’s finally here… THE South by Southwest (SXSW) road trip.

Shawn McEntyre (@tehshawn) is joining me for the trip to Austin, TX for 5 days of Film and Interactive Media goodness. We’ll be throwing updates on Twitter and hoping they stick like cooked spaghetti on a refrigerator. Twitter was featured at SXSW a couple of years ago. Last year it had trouble keeping up with SXSW attendees. According to all the reports I’ve seen, SXSW is expecting a larger crowd than last year. Combine that with Twitter’s ever increasing userbase and it spells mondo trouble for getting updates out in a timely manner. If I can’t get Tweets up, I’ll be blogging from WordPress mobile and updating with pics and video later.

A few interesting events taking place:

Saturday, March 14th:    Diggnation Live Show at Stubbs. Part of the Bigg Digg Shindigg. Kevin Rose (@kevinrose) and Alex Albrecht (@alexalbrecht) are taking the thunder to Austin for a night of loud, rauccous entertainment.

Tuesday, March 17th:   Total Rad Show (TRS) Live Show. I don’t have the exact location and time just yet. It’s more of Alex Albrecht (@alexalbrecht), with Dan Trachtenberg (@DannyTRS) and Jeff Cannatta (@JeffCannata).

With the live shows, multiple screenings and film and Interactive Media panels I have on the intinerary, I will be exhausted when I get back Wednesday morning.

If you’re going to be there, hit me up. I’d love to meet you.

See you in Austin

Kudos to @mediapeople for sending this to me.
