SXSW

South By Southwest Festival is right around the corner! 

I have actually never been. Which totally bums me out. Every year I want to go but it seems I'm always broke this time a year.  For those of you who don't know what SXSW is go to their website and check it out. Here is a little intro from their website:

"The SXSW® Music and Media Conference celebrates its 25th Anniversary in 2011. Reaching a quarter of a century of being the biggest and most anticipated convergence of all things music, SXSW is ready to keep the reputation alive by programming the best event yet.

By day, thousands of conference registrants network in the halls of the Austin Convention Center on their way to do business at the SXSW Trade Show: The Exhibition for Creative Industries, sit in on informative panel discussions featuring some of the industry's key players, gain insight from legendary keynote speakers or plan out their abundant party schedules. At night, SXSW showcases hundreds upon hundreds of musical acts from around the globe on over eighty stages in downtown Austin. All this and so much more, combine to make SXSW one of the most revered music events, year after year."

(Quick little distraction, I'm sitting here blogging while the kids are watching Blue's Clues and it was ending, so Steve was saying bye see you later and Jocelyn started waving at the tv. Too cute!)

Any way, I really want to try to make it this year, and I'm working on getting a press pass. Man, if I can pull this off it will be awesome!
