heading for sxsw
I’m writing this from the comfort of my friend’s condo in South Beach, Miami. Chilling here for a couple of days.
Tomorrow I’m headed for Austin for the annual SXSW Interactive conference, probably the most fun conference in America. Then I’m headed back to Alpine, Texas on Tuesday, where I’m going to be staying for the next wee while, finishing off a large writing project that I’ve been working on.
My decision to go to Austin was pretty last-minute, so I haven’t really made any big plans. I’ve been invited to speak on a couple of panels, the details of which are still be worked out. The other thing I plan on doing is hanging around the Bloghaus for most of the duration, drawing cartoons live and handing them out to people. So if you’re in town and fancy an original “Hughcard”, come pay me a visit. Details here on Stephanie Agresta’s blog.
SXSW is usually a bit of a madhouse, so the best way to keep track of what I’m doing, as always, is to follow me on Twitter.
See y’all in Texas!
"Hugh's Daily Cartoon" Newsletter.
A new cartoon sent out every weekday morning to your inbox [RSS version here.].
A wee chuckle to start your day off right etc.
Alpine sounds like an amazing place to finish a writing project. Definitely one of the best spots in Texas: calm, beautiful, no huge flashy distractions.
Really would like to meet you Hugh at SXSW. I’ll be on the lookout for you. You can follow me on Twitter as I’m Genuine.
You owe me a bottle of Stormhoek!
Tired of being the loser that always reads about these good people attending these fun conferences and never attending, this person here has made himself the promise of to attend one next year. Hmmm, that´s where the Global Microbrand enters the stage…
Enjoy! Looking forward to the outcome of your Alpine stay!
Have enjoyed reading your blog for a few months now. Would love to cross paths at SXSW.
