SXSW Countdown: Two Days

It's a gloomy, icey day in New York, and I'm dreaming of Austin. So, here's some SXSW miscellany that I've collected this afternoon. I leave on Friday. If you'll be there, add me as a friend on Twitter so we can keep track of one another. I also plan to Festmob.

  • Jette (who will be joining me for a StudioSX chat on Tuesday) has put together an awesome guide to SXSW film venues. I've now made a note to skip breakfast on Monday so I can drink a milkshake whilst watching Fish Kill Flea.
  • Speaking of that StudioSX thing, it's been an, uh, less than productive year, so they're billing me as "Karina Longworth from Vidiocy.com." Thus the uptick in recent blog posts. Hopefully it won't matter that traffic on this site hit an all-time low just last week.
  • I've been sent so many documents claiming to be the "SXSW Master Party List," that I'm just on the verge of being so overwhelmed that I'll probably do a lot of what I did last year: hang out at the hotel eating room service slliders and watching Superman 2. But if you're feeling more adventurous, here's a guide to Interactive parties. Even I might not be able to resist something called "The Great British Booze-Up."
  • Matt Dentler has too much cool, inside-SXSW film stuff on his blog to single any one item out.
  • Morgan Spurlock, who produced the SXSW documentary What Would Jesus Buy?, encourages the rabble to try to talk their way onto the premiere party guest list.
  • Finally, Kyle Bunch and Nick Douglas have wisely re-launched Blogebrity, just in time for Sunday's SXSW panel which Kyle is moderating, which also includes Nick, Amanda Congdon, Casey McKinnon, and me. In related news, who wants to meet up at around 4pm on Sunday for some power drinking?
