With South By Southwest Interactive 2007 only a week away, I’ve been looking over the schedule of panels to figure out where I want to be and when. Really, I have. Or at least I will. But first things first, right? Right.
With that in mind, I’ve started my planning by figuring out which parties I want to hit up. At the same time, I’ve received some e-mails and IMs from people who want to meet me down in Austin. I definitely want to meet as many of you as possible, so here’s a schedule of places I intend to be. Please, don’t be shy. C’mon up and say hi.

As these events go down, I’ll be taking tons of pictures and posting them to flickr — and they’ll automatically make their way to the venue pages linked above. Please do come by my flickr photostream and tag and notate them when you find yourself in one of my shots.
Also, don’t forget about the Web Standards Creativity author hunt for your chance to win a free copy of the new book by myself, Simon Collison, Mark Boulton, Dan Rubin, Rob Weychert, Ethan Marcotte, Ian Lloyd, Andy Clarke, Cameron Adams, and Derek Featherstone We’re giving away 10 copies at SXSWi!
I’ve got a couple more ideas for pre-SXSW blog posts, but I’m not positive I’ll get to them. So, if I don’t, I’ll see you all in Austin next week. I can’t wait!

I’ll be at a lot of those places. So I’m sure at some point we’ll bump into each other… :D
002 // Jonathan Snook // 03.01.2007 // 8:35 PM
Yeeehaw. I don’t know how you’re going to fit that all in. I had to keep my list fairly small. :)
003 // Jeff Croft // 03.01.2007 // 9:25 PM
I don’t know that I’ll get it all in, Jonathan, but I’m going to try! :)
004 // Ed Sharrer // 03.01.2007 // 10:21 PM
Wish I could make it down to Austin… sigh
I’m enjoying the new design, Jeff. Of the various iterations of jeffcroft.com, I may like this one the best.
005 // Michelle Foster // 03.01.2007 // 10:38 PM
I didn’t realize my schedule was so busy…. ;)
006 // James Asher // 03.02.2007 // 1:08 PM
I’m sure I’ll be attending most of these as well. I have this little inflatable duck from somewhere, I wonder if I should try and get Ze to sign it. Hmm…
007 // Mike Stickel // 03.04.2007 // 11:03 PM
I’ll be around a few of those as well, looking forward to saying hi.

Hi Jeff,
Just came across your post. I’ll be at SXSW as well - feel free to shoot me an email if you want to meet up!
Cheers.

I don’t know if this has been officially announced (the location moved), but here are the details & location of the frog party on Saturday night:

I just moved back to the Austin area in November (after being away for 8 years), so I’m stoked that I get to attend a SXSW again. I know for sure I’ll be at the Frog party on Saturday.
