If you ever wanted to have a free 5 day drunk, this is the year for it. I have never seen so much corporate money poured into sxsw since 2000. Hey, remember 2000? It was right before 2001. |
If you can resist the free corporate booze that is going to be thrust in your direction every night, you’ll be witness to the largest SXSW Interactive Austin has ever seen. There are so many evening events, both official and unofficial, many of my friends are already resigned to the frustration that there is no way to be all the places they want to be. Imagine having a ticket to disneyland, and only an afternoon to visit. Aside from everything going on in the daytime, just look at all the parties.
(10:46:44 AM)linearb@gmail.com/Home: I was thinking of tagging all the corp parties at SXSWi “corp booze”
(10:46:57 AM) linearb@gmail.com/Home: then linking to the tag in GA
(10:47:08 AM) linearb@gmail.com/Home: but then thought nahhh, bad idea
(10:47:21 AM) whurley: rofl
(10:47:23 AM) whurley: you’re so back :D
Many of the parties will require SXSWi admission. For everyone who has bitched about the price of SXSWi admission, check out the cost of other similar tech events O’Reilly’s ETech is a couple thou — and the big cherry TED conference is about ten thou (if you’re lucky enough to get an invite). Think how much liquor you will be pouring down every night at SXSW. Yes You. Now imagine if you had to pay for that liquor. Now, look at me with a straight face and bitch about the price of admission.
