The Skinny On SXSW09 On Teh Cheap
Like my “About” section says:
The economy sucks. Nothing new there. It’s been 10 months since I’ve been laid off and my contract work and blog advertising isn’t going to afford me a luxury SXSW trip. Why deprive myself? I’m doing it CHEAP.
I am attending both SXSW Interactive and SXSW Music this year. I am going to do so as cheaply as I possibly can and utilize every resource I can find to make this possible!
My trip will span 11 days — from Thursday, March 12 to Sunday, March 22. Interactive is from March 13-17 and Music is from March 18-22.
I am aiming to spend less than $200 total excluding my transportation to/from Austin.
On this blog, I will chronicle my spending and tips/tricks I find or learn during the experience for reference in future years. If you have any of your own, do share!
