I'm registered!
Every year I hem and haw. Should I go to South By Southwest? Last year I was a panelist, so the decision was made for me. I started off on the wrong foot (strep throat!) but had a blast once I got better. I also went to Apple Computer with Rocketboom, and was caught up in the utter insanity of RB's first video ad. Oh man, what a ride.
I didn't propose a panel on time this year, so I'm just a free agent. But I can't pass up the chance to hang with Steve Garfield and Zadi and Casey and the usual lovely suspects. Oh! Here's something odd: None other than Odin Soli is on the list of speakers. You know, Plain Layne, the most notorious fictional blogger of all time (I'd say). Here's a few pics of my interview with Odin for Blogumentary.
If you're going to SXSW, see you there!

I wish I could come so bad, but between money for the trip and shooting a wedding that weekend to pay for "Video on the Net" the following week, I don't think I'll be making it.

Clintus: Oh crap, I forgot about VON conference. Ummm. Well if I get rich I'll see you there. :-)

And do you think we can finally ask Odin who the pics of Plain Layne really are of? Cuz I still wanna track her down!

no doubt!

Can't wait to see you, Chuck. You're getting a hug the size of Godzilla.

I am still an undecided voter on going to South By Southwest Interactive.
I am leaning towards going.
I think I still have until February 12 to register (if I want to make on the List).
Your take on attending.
