veronicabelmont
is this at the same scary, hard to get to location that it was last year?
narendra
@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?
monstro
oh, veronica. that wasn't scary -- that was fun! plus, you can always grab 4 friends and share a taxi.
and, yes, narendra, there are squirrels. texas-sized squirrels.

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 think I'll be just fine "East of the Tracks".

Go ExSE young interneter , ye can't miss it.
Nelwy
hey,
I don't really get it. What is the "I'm attending." for? That doesn't really put me on any guestlist?
isane
Laughing Squid is just so great! I wish I could have been there to support this.
