Anyone going?
I will be there for 10 days...
- vague0
look at how many people give presentations.
50% of them run these insanely ugly blogs, talking about flakey fluffy bullshit, making speculations that amount to nothing, commentary about things they're not good at.
these days i feel... those who can't, blog.

i'm the only one in my office not going... :(
10 days is a long time. Are you going to the film conference?

I don't like SXSW because it give credibility to people who don't know much (in the design field). Holy crap, I might actually agree with vague here!
I saw the speaker list last year and it was "professional bloggers" or "blog superstar" all over... I can deal with a few, but not 50%

I have another panel there this year. I cannot believe how many xxx, bloggers, and useless tech panels there are now a days.
Every year there are less and less "design" blogs
Mine is about pimping out your film's website.

Sadly I won't have the enjoyment of my band and I driving all the damn way to Austin from Chicago in a rented Dodge Grand Caravan packed full of four guys and tons of equipment to play at SXSW this year.
I love music and had an awesome time there last year, but I'm not cutting into my Macbook Pro budget for nothin'.
