I’m not at SXSW this year, but I might as well be. True, I don’t get to run into my friends and colleagues in person, and I’m not rubbing elbows with some of the most famous people in the interactive digital world… but from the blog posts and Twitter stream coming out of Austin, I get a pretty good feeling for it. Enough that I don’t even feel jealous.
I do have one tiny request, though. How about not blogging about the cool swag you get? I can take the talk about cool demos, captivating panels and sparkly parties you’re attending… but if I see one more reference to that Crumpler bag they gave you, well, it’s gonna get ugly.
Okay, now run along to the next event. And bring your camera… the rest of us will be waiting.
