It is that time of year again. SXSW starts this coming Saturday. We will be there – will you?
(Now you know the reason behind the mad rush to fancy up the Fresh Photography site!)
Not only will this be a festival full of geeks, but on top of that there will be events for the knitters too! I met Julia at SXSW thanks to her Clapotis, so it will be fun to return with her after all this time. I am a much better knitter now than I was then. Not only will we be at the conference, but there are plenty of knitting things to go around!
– Saturday morning Sit & Knit at … ok, Austin peeps. Help remind me where it is at.
– Saturday evening at 6:30 – knit gathering at Hill Country Weavers. Vickie Howell of Knitty Gritty has a panel at SXSW that ends at 6pm, so you have time to do both! I can guarantee right now that I will be late for this. I know that there is no way I will make it out of that session at precisely 6pm, get together with Mike, get to the car, and get to HCW. I will try, but I don’t have a good vibe about it at all.
– Sunday at lunchtime, back at Hill Country Weavers, 11am – 1pm is the bloggers meet & great! My attendance at this one depends on what panels conflict with it, but I’m going to try to be there.
Hope to see you in Austin!

I so wish I was going!
We haven’t specified an end time for the Saturday night thing at HCW, but there are multiple parties going on that night that the geek who wants to schmooze, may want to attend. We may just let Suzanne throw us out when she is ready. Saturday A.M is at Cafe Caffeine not too far from HCW from 10-12. I don’t know if I will make that, but will try – I did intend to make some of the panels. Can’t wait till you get here!
Sigh. Hill Country Weavers! Eons ago I took a spinning class there. Can you say green with envy?
You mean I get to go to SXSW *and* knit too?
I’m in heaven, I swear it!
Can’t wait.
