Going to SXSW
Today I officially decided I’m going to Austin for South by Southwest 2005—although only for the music festival. It was tempting to join the web elite at the interactive conference this year, since now I actually know some of them (unlike when I went in 2001 and spent most of my time feeling thoroughly out of the loop), but I just couldn’t get that much time off.
Anyone else out there planning to attend? If so, what shows are you planning to see?
Update: Here’s who I’m thinking about seeing (hopefully the final schedule won’t force any difficult choices):
- The Album Leaf
- Ash
- Lou Barlow
- Bloc Party
- Calexico
- Graham Coxon
- The Dears
- Doves
- Grand National
- Kasabian
- Keren Ann
- Kings of Convenience
- Stephen Malkmus
- The National
- Son Volt
