Are there any illustrators, comic strippers (the non-skanky type), or bonafide doodlers interested in an art jam session?

For The Story of [fill in the blank], I'm hoping to rustle together some folk's artistic impressions of the SXSW festival -- publishing under the moniker of The Story of SXSW. If interested look inside this wee post...

Getting psyched up for SXSW02, I started looking over my photos from previous years. Have you attended SXSW before? Take some pics? Let's see 'em!

i know that there are at least two of us, so i'm thinking that maybe there are more people who are going to austin this coming weekend without a sxswi registration. so, as julie mentioned, can we get a listing of the non-sxsw/sxsw events open to us?

in addition to these, if there are enough people interested, how about a side event or two during the daytime when most everyone is at panels?

I am really excited about Vox Nox on Monday night at the Red Eyed Fly at 7pm. Come out and hear Cory Doctorow read from Down and Out in The Magic Kingdom, Mark Meadows Pause & Effect: The Art Of Interactive Narrative, Derek Powazek Design For Community, Philip and Mikela Tarlow Digital Aboriginal and myself as I read the dirty part from Rodriguez The Demon. Should be more than your average reading.

We now have a flyer for the LiveJournal Party on Monday, March 11th at 8pm - 1ish at Elysium Nightclub, 705 Red River in Austin. You're all invited and there will be some great music and interesting guests, but absolutely no book readings are allowed! Just a bunch of geeks hanging out with scantily clad camgirls and dominatrixes. Evil fun.

Also, we'll be at the LiveJournal booth (P4) during the Interactive Festival Trade Show. How come more groups don't have booths? We asked nicely and they gave us one. I hope we're next to the Jim Beam booth. (Is drinking bourbon and playing poker allowed on the convention floor?!)

Brad Fitzpatrick (LiveJournal's founder) will be speaking on Monday 11th, 3:30 PM on a panel "Open Source Tools for Online Community and Collaboration".

As a sidenote, I was sent a huge stack of SXSW Trade Show day passes. If anyone needs one, let me know and I will see if I can get one into your hands... or better yet, get one online while you can - the site is being taken down on Saturday. (Thanks to Hugh for the details!)

It seems like a lot of folks will be staying at the wonderfully spartan LaQuinta-Capitol. I'll be there, sharing with America's Favorite Lawyer, Mike Wasylik. If you're going to be at LaQuinta, hit Comment and let's just see how many of us are there...

KICK! has moved. The kickballl game at noon Saturday is now taking place at Auditorium Shores, part of Town Lake Park. Sorry to change the venue at this late date, but this should make it much easier for people without cars to get to the park, as it's within walking distance of the Convention Center.

We'll be meeting at the Stevie Ray Vaughan statue, please let your friends who are attending the game know about the new location.

The Notes Exchange is go! As we discussed earlier, there are so many great panels and peer meetings this year that there's no way to catch everything you want to see. Reading someone else's notes is the next best thing to being there. If you'd like to participate, jot down a few notes at the panels you attend and paste them into the exchange.

OK, here's a first-timer question. Should SXSW attendees bring laptops if they have them?
