Over at Cruftbox a great post, What to know about SXSW Interactive, which gives some excellent tips on attending the Interactice part of South by Southwest.
I long to go to both the Interactive part as well as the Music Festival. Some day I will have the funds to take a week off and head down to Austin for some fun and learning. But, for those of you going now, you should definitely check out these tips, lots of good ones in there.
