As you all know, SXSW fever is officially here. Although I have been living in Austin for 13+ years now, 2012 is going to be my first year of actually experiencing the phenomenon that is SXSW… And I am committed!! I have not purchased a wristband, but I have a plan. I am taking days off from work, have carefully selected the shows I want to attend, created a special SXSW email account for my RSVPs etc… So as soon as this cold front moves away, I am going in!!!

But before I make the big jump… Do you have any advice so I can make my SXSW experience as fun and hassle-free as possible? Let me know what your tested strategies, tips & tricks are for how to beat the crowds, find parking spots, get good foods, not miss the not-to-be-missed shows etc…

Anything helps!! Thanks 🙂
