@veronicabelmont, yes, only there will be a such a line of geeks from scoot to downtown that a squirrel could hop all the way from techie dome to dome without hitting the ground.

are there squirrels in austin?

Great party. Agree with Veronica on the location. Scary? It was dark, but I didn't know it was scary until the cab driver who drive us there insisted that we don't walk the 6 blocks back to the hotel. Hopefully all the geeks will protect eachother from the boogey-man.

It was also the only party I remember that had Session Lager, in my favorite little red-label 11 oz. bottles. Good call, barkeep.

Hey, all-- if you're planning on attending the party, but you don't have an SXSW Interactive badge, never fear: Ask nicely, and I'll put your name on the list.

Just email me at lane -at- getsatisfaction.com and let me know you want to be on it by, oh, next Wednesday 3/5 would be good. (If you've already got a badge, you're covered, so just show up and start drinking.)

I was born in Austin and its a very sad perception that people have of the city when they walk East of the "tracks". Austin is culturally segregated by the I-35 expressway which is one block away from the convention center. The "East Side" has a lot of hispanic people but it would be terribly unfortunate to be afraid of that.

The venue is just 4 or 5 blocks from the convention center and the walk has a beautiful view of downtown and the open sky.

Another great taste of Austin if anyone gets a chance is Barton Springs. Just take the river trail to Zilker park. Awesome Austin experience.

I don't really get it. What is the "I'm attending." for? That doesn't really put me on any guestlist?
