Packing for SXSW
I am beginning to pack for SXSW. I have tied a strip of jeans to the handle so I can distinguish my suitcase from others quickly on the turnstile when I arrive in Austin.
I am also bringing an empty suitcase to fill with swag that different companies will be giving away. I can't wait!

Kosher Food at SXSW
Did you know that there's a kosher Deli/restaurant in Austin Texas inside a grocery store? It's so cool I think I might have to go while at SXSW.
The H-E-B Kosher Store and Delicatessen located at 7025 Village Center Drive offers:
-Eat-in or take-out menus with all foods prepared under Orthodox supervision
-Party trays for all occasions and special events
-The largest Kosher wine selection in Texas
-A complete grocery assortment for all meals and snacks
Anyone want to come with me? It's a but far from the convention center but I'm really curious to see if they have any authentic Texas style foods with kosher flare.

SXSW: 125k People and $110 Million to Austin, TX
Just came across this article from a local Austin AM radio station: http://tinyurl.com/25sudp
South by Southwest continues to grow, with a city-commissioned study showing it making a huge economic impact on Austin.
Economist Angelos Angelou says last year's South-by-Southwest poured at least 110-million dollars into Austin's economy, and that is a conservative estimate.
"The event last year was attended by more than 125,000 people," Angelou tells a morning news conference at Austin City Hall.
Angelou says tens of thousands of those were industry insiders and artists who view the March trip to Austin as a necessity to boost new music, films and technology. He says knows of no other festival that brands a city as well as SXSW boosts Austin's title as "Live Music Capital of the World." He also can't think of a similar festival that accomplishes that and contributes so strongly to the economy.
