My whole issue with going to SXSW has been this: since moving to CA, I just haven't wanted to pay to go. I'm a cheap bastard, and memories of driving down from Fort Worth, getting a comp media badge, and shacking with pals are still strong in my mind. Yesterday I learned that I could, indeed, go to SXSW on someone else's dime. At 6:30 this morning, I was looking for round trip flights. My dreams were squashed when I discovered I couldn't get a flight 8 days in advance for less than around $700—almost my entire budget for the trip.
So it looks like I'm left behind again.
We have a new crew in the pits with us this year, so I'm actually looking forward to filling the office with more of the fun, games and indulgences from last year. We've got a much larger group preparing to go geek at WizardWorld. And we may actually hold the First Annual FU SXSW Office Olympics. More to come.
Everyone went to Austin for SXSW leaving only a skeleton crew behind.
These are the adventures of a ragtag bunch of dedicated employees.
The forgotten. The abandoned. Those Left at Filter.
