I think I first learned about SXSW about 18 months ago. It hadn't been on my radar at all over the last couple of years. Partly 'cause I figured how important could it be and not be in the Bay Area?
Anyway, I'm over my Bay Area-centrism somewhat 'cause I visited Austin last year in the spring and saw the buzz this "festival" called. With music and film added, it's not really just a conference.
I'm planning on attending this year for the first time. It helps that I have family living in Austin with whom I can stay (decent hotels are expen$ive there). So I'm off for the weekend of March 11-14. Now I just have to book tickets and pay for the conference.
I'm looking forward to real Texas barbecue again with my family.
