Just arrived.. and feeling very buoyed as I managed to park the hire car just beside the Hilton which is 200m from the Convention Centre entrance. How about that for a good start! And weekend parking on meters is free in Austin!
Hoping to meet up with a few Twitter folks… while I was driving over last night there was a huge informal Twitter meet-up.
In case you haven’t been following my twitter stream I am in USA this week for South by Southwest SXSW Interactive
Hey am planning my SXSW days…. boy are they risking being very crowded!
I plan on live blogging the ones I attend and adding other stuff as it happens and I get a chance and so here ‘s a probable list of what you’ll be getting on the menu over the next four days… all times are local to Austin TX.
