This should be an interactive conference. So how much interaction will there be later as everyone’s batteries die as there are minimal powerpoints in the halls […]

Austin to Vegas – last day and Snow Patrol

IMG_3672 Originally uploaded by RachelC. I’m now leaving Austin to travel to Las Vegas. Austin was great..and weird. Apparently an island of sanity in the state of Texas.

SXSW Music has a completely different vibe to the Interactive Conference. Many people don’t come out till dark, some streets are closed off, and music assaults your ears from all directions. My chance to stay for the extra time came through Rick Segal and MusicIP, who covered the cost of the music ticket for me. […]

SXSW – Beastie Boys Audience Interview

The final panel of today is an interview with the Beasties boys. Queuing was mandatory, but the attendance appears to be the same as the Bruce Sterling monologue on Tuesday.
