Despite being a little under the weather, we’re heading to Austin, TX tonight on a red-eye for SxSW (where I hear it’s just as cold as it is here in Seattle).

Gnomedex.com is co-hosting a party with BlogHer.org, Seesmic.com, and Ping.fm – and you’re most certainly invited, even if you can’t be there in person. Why bother registering for a virtual party? Because one of you is going to win a Panasonic HDC-SD100 – but only if you register for the Human Circuitry party as a “I can’t physically come to the party but I WILL watch the live stream, count me in!” registrant. Yeah, that’s probably the WORST ticket title in the history of parties, but it’s appropriately labeled!

  • We will give the Panasonic HDC-SD100 to one of our virtual registrants, so you MUST be signed up to qualify. Join us from the comfort of your own home!
  • The drawing will be done with a random number generator from the party floor at 10:00pm CST. The camera will be mailed to the lucky person soon thereafter.
  • There are 10,000 virtual tickets to be picked up, and we’ll be streaming live from our regular channels (you know where they are). Sign up and then spread the word.

We were trying to find a way to include all those who would love to be at SXSW but just can’t afford to either take the time away from work (or the cost of the trip / conference / hotel / airfare). We are all so very fortunate to be there, and it would be awesome to give someone a tool that could give them the opportunity to create awesome content and get there next year by their own talents!

See you on Sunday night!

There are millions of people in Austin, Texas this week for South by Southwest (the festival to end all festivals). Ponzi and I went last year, but “too much work” kept us at home this time around. I’ve been keeping track of updates through my feed reader, but I was hoping to hear directly from those of you in attendance. Here’s your chance to share your SXSW review:

  • Pick up your phone
  • Call 206-274-7984
  • Leave a voicemail (speak clearly)

Make sure you add your name and URL, so we know who you are and what you do. That’s all. It’s my hope to share your thoughts with other would-be-SXSW attendees. What are we missing? Why should we go next year? Is it all about the parties? Did you lead a discussion? Have you attended a panel? Who have you met for the first time?

Okay, just curious here… who else is NOT going to SXSW or TED?

I can’t even imagine driving across town this week – let alone fly halfway across the country for an organized meatspace confluence. Given the amount of stuff I’ve yet to do (personally and professionally), there’s virtually no way I can even think about doing anything that’s not within 100 feet of my keyboard. We’re having the bathroom upgraded, a fence installed in the backyard, the garage worked over, fighting “fires” on our Web servers, creating and uploading new media, etc. etc. etc. It’s already “too much” for my puny brain to handle.

TED? I’m not important enough for it. South by Southwest? Loved it, but it’s simply not in the cards for me this year. I’m not afraid of missing anything, though – as I’m already missing plenty of information in my assorted (unread) feeds. What would Merlin Mann think?

It’s always good to get the perspective of the person responsible for building a show like SXSW to get a sense for where the conference came from and where it’s headed in the future. At SXSW Interactive 2006, Chris talked with Hugh Forest, Executive Director of SXSW, about his thoughts on this year’s event. In addition to touching on some of the show highlights, Chris and Hugh also chat about Austin and what it’s like as both a place of business and a venue for one of the largest annual conference events in the country.
