SXSW: Joystiq is here!

by Kevin Kelly { Mar 10th 2007 at 3:10PM }

We've arrived here in Austin, Texas where we'll be bringing you news from the enormous South by Southwest conference. SXSW started as a music festival, grew to include film, and now has an very substantial interactive portion. This year they've beefed interactive up with tons of video game related panels, speakers, and exhibitors. Oh, and nothing huge ... just Will Wright giving the keynote. Zing!

We'll be bringing you coverage from the panels, photos from the show floor, visits to the ScreenBurn Arcade, stopping by to chat with PMS Clan / Frag Dolls, stories from Austin, and of course we'll be liveblogging Will Wright's keynote. With any luck, we'll also follow him to his car and demand a demo copy of Spore. So look for a report on that here, or a photo of us on TheSmokingGun.

Have fun here in the River City, fellas. I hope that you find the time to enjoy the film fest in the midst of doing your jobs.

Hey, if NCsoft Austin is there, drop on by and ask them about Aion for me.

I didn't see anyone who screamed Joystiq to me at screenburn today but I got to see some of the sexiest women in the world (I'm talking the Frag Dolls and the PMS Clan).

I live in the ATX. You are in the best city in Texas. There are tons of places to go visit around downtown Austin, and just around the city. Oh yeah, traffic and parking is horrible. My roommate said every single hotel is booked. wow. Email me any questions.
