On Friday, I’m going to Austin, Texas to attend the South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive conference with Walt and Nick.
I’m excited, #1, to go to the conference and to see and hear well respected web professionals and to be immersed in the atmosphere. I’m hoping for it to be completely refreshing and motivating, something that I really need right now.
#2, I’m looking forward to seeing my Californian friends, Walt and Nick, who I haven’t seen for over 1 1/2 years.
#3, on Saturday is the SWSXi’s Kickball Kickoff. It’s “an open-invitation kickball game designed to help (cringe) kick off the festivities at the South By Southwest Interactive Festival.” This should be muy interesting since I haven’t played kick ball since 6th grade.
#4 I’m mildly excited about checking out Austin. I’ve been to Texas a few times and have been unimpressed, for the most part. From what I hear, Austin is very cool - great artistic and music scene, a rising technical center, great places to go out, etc. We’ll see. I think I’m more excited just to get out of the city and the cold for a few days.

Been to Austin a few times.
Years ago I was stationed in the military
At Ft Hood just north of Austin towards Dallas
Austin is the state capital of Texas
It was a little more liberal then other parts of Texas
Anyway it probably changed in a big way since I was there.
But have good time.
