Austin for SXSW

This just in, I am headed to SXSW!

I am so, so beyond excited that excited doesn’t even seem to cover it. For five days straight I will be going to sessions on blogging, social media, design and marketing. The sessions and parties are the most exciting part for me, but for a lot of out of towners just being in Austin is the highlight of their trip. And since I live in Austin, and get to do fun stuff every day, I was hoping that I could help the out of towners with some Austin tips and tricks.

1. I know a lot about queso. Check out my SXSW queso recommendations here! If you are coming in for SXSW and want to meet me for queso, let me know. I’m always down.

2. My friend Rebecca knows all of the good food places. Trust her on this one

3. The weather in Austin is beautiful, but the Austin Convention Center is literally ten degrees. Anyone who has been to NIWeek knows this. Pack a sweater.

So I thought I had more recommendations than that, but for me Austin is pretty much summed up by queso, food, margaritas and the amazing weather.

Enjoy SXSW and let me know if you want to meet up!

I wish I could go to SXSW! But you know, New York is almost good enough.

Also, I like your blog.

Also, I’m going to be craving turkey until Thanksgiving. Thanks a lot.
