SXSW Links & Lists

 

I'll be doing more than my fair share of keeping Austin Weird starting tomorrow night. 

What am I looking forward to most about SXSW?

• DRAFT. HOUSE.  Happy place X 1000, so seriously the best movie theater chain in the world
• Not working. I love my job (usually) but it's really been quite the month there, since returning from Sundance.   Vacation. Now. Please.
• People-watching.  I'd say pointing and laughing too but I'm a decent human being ,so.
• Seeing my friend Audrey. OH WAIT NO SHE'S NOT COMING GODDAMMMNIT
• Oh yeah - movies.  I hope to see between 30-35 movies, and my plan is to focus on narratives since I'll be drowning in documentaries next month at Full Frame.
• Also the Alamo Drafthouse.

Next, through the wonders of Twitter, I've come across a few solid links about what's playing at SXSW that's worth my time. Since I'm not a writer, I'm all to pleased to link to these instead of making my own list of what I want to see.

Lastly my friend linked me to this post about what to pack for SXSW and it made me laugh a little.  Soooo glad I'm not a girly girl.
