This afternoon, I’ll be heading to Austin, TX for a little conference called South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive. When I say little, I should probably mention that there will be at least 6,000 people there, with a few thousand more for the other portions (film and music) for good measure.

The first (and previous) time I went to SXSW was in March 2007 where I and a few other team members picked up AgencyNet’s awards for our work on ownyourC.com, attended a collective hundred-plus panels, attended a few sponsored parties and enjoyed the local live music and food. Austin quickly proved itself to become one of my favorite cities, a city I likened to a “much bigger Downtown Fort Lauderdale.” To read about my experience at SXSW 2007, read my 4-part recap.

Should you be attending, feel free to meet some of us from AgencyNet: Joining me will be Augi (who’s also my best friend), Omar, Lindsay, some woman named Larissa… and if our CEO feels better from last weekend’s pneumonia, Richard Lent.

For those of you who’d like to experience SXSW vicariously, I’ll be posting daily updates on AgencyNet’s blog ANidea.com, in addition to tweeting, pictures and video from the rest of the team.

You can contact/locate me while I’m in Austin through the following:

I’ll be returning back home next Tuesday (St. Patty’s day for the drinkers out there), and will post a recap on here shortly after.
