My first SXSW, I spent 10 days in Austin, Texas armed with a video camera, a digital SLR and my mac! In my hand a platinum and photographer pass giving me access to almost all events and venues in town for the film, interactive and music festival.

Raincity Studios and Bryght hosted a party with our friends at Blue Flavor and Newsvines.

Bryght had a booth in the Convention Centre, where I spent the best part of my afternoon chatting with geeks and rockstars alike. Helping Colin and kk to promote Backstage and our services.

Ponzi stopped by one afternoon and did a podcasts with me and one with KK, you can listen to mine on the Chris Pirillo Show.

It’s that time of year again, where hundreds of web geeks make the
long trek down south to city of Austin for South by Southwest
Interactive. Now, anyone who has gone to SXSW knows fairly well
that the best part of the conference is all of the parties that go on
after hours. With that said I am happy to invite you to South by
Northwest sponsored by Blue Flavor, Bryght, Newsvine and Raincity
Studios. There will be lots of beer, wine and margaritas to suck
down. Be sure to bring your digital cameras because there is nothing
more bloggable than drunken web geek celebrities.

Raincity checking in from Torino, Italy where we participated in a symposium on Web 2.0 and the Olympics in collaboration with New Media BC.

We’ve been very busy over the past week working on various events, meeting local new media companies and building our network.

Back in Canada, the Raincity team is busy; we have many cool projects going live this coming month and the production team is working hard to create and develop various projects for our clients. We’re also helping Bryght develop their next product, Backstage, due to beta launch at SXSW next month.
