It has been years that I have been wanting to go to SXSW and gawd it did not disappoint, I truly, entirely, blissfully enjoyed it.
Rather than a full summary of it, I thought I would attempt to do a summary "a la Fetron" in numbers. Here we go:
- numbers of days missed of SXSW: 4 -> This was the event that I could not wait to get to, so of course I had be sick before it started. I developed a pretty bad case of bronchitis. Interdiction to fly from doctor, plus anyways I was sick as hell and did not want to contaminate all of my awesome @sfembassy roommates (not best way to make friends right?), so I hold my horses until all was cured and arrived only on Monday, therefore missing most of the Interactive conference...oh well, at least I was fresh and ready for the music!!
- numbers of panels and keynotes attended: 4 and 1 on that last day, as opposed to that ambitious schedule I had planned, ha! Reports were mixed on the quality of the panels, but I rather enjoyed mines and I absolutely loved the keynote I saw.
- numbers of embarrassing fall from slippy stairs: 1 -> on my first night mind you, way to impress my fellow ambassadors.
- numbers of bruises: 3 huge ones from the fall, and then a few other ones from Austin's apparently rough nights
- numbers of RV ridden: 1 -> the RVIP lounge, moving Karaoke awesomeness, who knew that could exist?
- numbers of songs sung in a moving Karaoke: 1 -> "ca plane pour moi"
- numbers of places checked in: 20, thanks Foursquare oh and thanks for that party again :)
- most checked-in at: @sfembassy the awesome place I had the chance to stay in, thank to Gabe & Amy from Sonic Living. An article was even written here on it.
- numbers of concert in my living room: 1 -> the awesome bay-area based Ferocious Few -> superbe timelapse of their live here and the whole Ustream here
- numbers of pedicab taken: 3
- numbers of steps taken: 151,496 steps or 65.3 miles!! Thank you Fitbit for recording that! (and okay there might be a lot of dancing and jumping in there)
- numbers of Tweets sent: 66 including tweets of almost all the bands/DJ that I saw
- numbers of bands/DJs seen: 23
- number one band discovered: super hard to do because there were so many awesome shows. If I had to pick only one then I would say that my favorite discovery was Bear in Heaven
- number of days that went as planned: none but thoroughly enjoyed it -> I guess that's where I can see the comparison to Burning Man, too much stimuli, too much choices to follow an agenda
- numbers of slices of Pizza taken: 6 -> one each day more or less
- number of breakfast tacos eaten: 4, miam by the way
- numbers of salad eaten: 1 -> I must have walked a few miles to find that place but oh that salad felt so good
- numbers of Bloody Mary, Beers and Vodka consumed -> yeah that is not an easy one to track but nothing too crazy boss ;)
- numbers of vitamins taken: 1 everyday religiously, did not want to get sick again
- numbers of hours slept: way not enough
- new awesome people met: oh many awesome new people were met <3>
