My new friend Shawn did a day by day recap of SXSW. Great idea! Since these are late writeups (I am actually now home from SXSW), some of the details might have already been forgotten, especially because the whole SXSW experience is one big blur.
Friday was the first day of SXSW so the lineup of events was quite small, providing only two panels for the day. After waiting in the line for my badge and meeting the EchoDitto crew, I headed over to the Dabble, Dabble Toil and Kick Ass career related panel. Nothing new or novel there, but no biggie as it was the first panel of the event. Next I headed off to the Bankrupt Your Startup Panel with panelists Andrew Hyde (startupweekend.com and the recent vcwear.com), Joshua Strebel (Obu Web Technologies), Sean Tierney (Jumpbox) and a unicorn. Yes, you read that right. A unicorn. The panel had so much potential, but none was achieved as the whole event was a joke with Godzilla slides and money being thrown around. Once again, no biggie. Still just the first day at SXSW.
That night I hit up the Friday Night Mix at Six and met some great people such as Michael Pilla of Indie Flix, Robb Wood of an uber stealth project and the Path 101 team consisting of my blogger friend Charlie O’donnell, Danielle Collins and Alex Lines. The crew of us headed over to grab some dinner with some friends of Charlie’s at Opal. The dinner gang included Josh Guttman of Sphere, Jason Falls of Doe Anderson, Richard McGinnis of Radian6, Shawn Morton of CNet and Profilactic, Nick Huhn of Yum! Brands, and Todd Earwood and Nicky “Lindy” Key of DailyIdea.tv. Good times!
