1/30/2004 7:51 am - Austin, Texas - It's almost March again and the video crew is forming for another round of SXSW. I'm heading off to NYC to meet with Academy Award winning film maker Jerry Panzer where I'll be picking up that new VX. Damon is one of the crew chiefs again this year and maybe the crew could have another potluck barbecue out in Cedar Creek. I may just evite this.

new computer has yet to be ordered. So- maybe you can just use my taping

skills- or maybe I can brush up the editing after a class...marie marshall

Monday, Feb 24, 2003 - I guess the first gig for a volunteer will be the bag stuffing and the tour of the dv editing room on March 6th? Is that the right date? I'm looking to find some folks on the dv crew who might want to get together for some touch up sessions on video editing software before things get hot and heavy at SXSW. I think it rocks that I got on this crew, what a stroke of genius! What fun! We have some rooms where we can put up out of towners and I have a friend coming from NY who will be staying with us from the 5th throught the 14th but will be needing a hotel room to share around March 14th since Dot's relatives will be using our guest rooms then. Who was the person at the DV meeting at the SXSW headquarters who was looking for folks to share a hotel room with?

Feb 21, 2003

I met with the dv crew and got a lot better idea of what to expect at SXSW and what I'll be doing. Now, just waiting for my assignment and waiting for the gig to start.

This is my SXSW weblog. I paid to go last year. This year I'm a volunteer on the Digital Video Crew. So, here starts my daily log. You can read the introduction here, then you'll have to go to my Spring Weblog topic to continue reading and add your own comments if you like.

What is SXSW?

"Austin's eclectic melting pot boils during the South by Southwest entertainment industry summit. Record-company executives, producers, dot-commers... and other movers and shakers descend on the city looking to discover the next hot musical act or independent filmmaker." -New York Times, February 17, 2002

In March 2003, over fifteen thousand participants from the music, film and internet industries will converge at the Austin Convention Center over ten days to participate in three distinct yet related festivals, conferences and trade shows. Since its debut in 1987, SXSW has evolved into a unique global event focused on the creative side of the entertainment business. Designed to function on many levels, SXSW is a place to showcase work, market products, foster relationships, discuss the future, learn and teach.

Daniel Lanois has been confirmed as the SXSW Music Keynote Speaker.

Some of the notables:

Beck, Jeff Beck, Tony Bennett, Peter Bogdonavich, Billy Bragg, Stewart Brand, Sandra Bullock, David Byrne, Shawn Colvin, George Clinton, Johnny Cash, John Carpenter, Chuck D, Ray Davies, Josh Davis, Jonathan Demme, Mark Dery, Atom Egoyan, Robert Fripp, Janeane Garofalo, Philip Glass, Peter Guralnick, Larry Harvey, Ethan Hawke, Dennis Hopper, Ron Howard, Herbert Huncke, Elizabeth Hurley, Wyclef Jean, Martin Landau, Lawrence Lessig, Courtney Love, Nick Lowe, Marilyn Manson, Roger McGuinn, Moby, Willie Nelson, Randy Newman, DA Pennebaker, Iggy Pop, Amy Ray, Robert Rodriguez, Todd Rundgren, John Sayles, Nathan Shedroff, Kevin Smith, Patti Smith, Steven Soderbergh, Bruce Sterling, Quentin Tarantino, Billy Bob Thornton, Guillermo del Toro, Allen Toussaint, Tom Waits, Lucinda Williams, Dwight Yoakam, and Neil Young.
