South by Southwest (SxSW) is the end all be all for some geeks. I’ve heard numerous stories from colleagues and friends about the pure geek glory of going to SxSW. Oh the dreams I’ve had of meeting Amanda Gravel, Sarah Perez, Louis Gray, Wayne Sutton, Gaeia Brown and tons more bloggers and friends that I’d have to travel all across the U.S. just to see! I know what you’re thinking, who doesn’t have this dream every year? Me, actually.
I first heard about SxSW when Twitter debuted at the event. However, last year Twitter users took SxSW to an entirely different galaxy for me. They made it a priority.
UPDATE: See the crazy amount of Retweets generated here and here! Keep those retweets rolling in!
I pine, I burn, I parish! I WANT TO GO TO SXSW!
It’s as if my geek credentials depend on this one event. I know that they don’t, but who doesn’t want to add hilarious and awesomesauce SxSW stories to their repertoire?! Don’t lie because I sure do!
I want to meet the geeks on Twitter that I’ve wanted to connect with face-to-face for over a year now. I want to hear and see, first-hand, the innovation of services that will be introduced. I want to hear the secret tips that bloggers pass to one another after the panels end and the tweet-ups begin, the name dropping…the beer. Alcohol really doesn’t play an important role in my reasons for wanting to go to SxSW, but damn will it feel good to be able to drink with everyone now that I’m finally 21!
Most importantly, SxSW would be a trip outside of my normal surroundings. In my neighborhood, technology doesn’t really exist. Not the type of technology that not only exists but spreads like wildfire at SxSW. It’s even hard to find that type of spirit, community, and innovation here in Atlanta. But I digress.
A Good Candidate For A SxSW Interactive Badge
I’ve written for ReadWriteWeb, am well known among the social media and technology scene, and Fast Company has noted me as one of the most influential women in tech. I manage a podcast and Twitter site (EverythingTwitter) with Chris Miller, and am involved in the Girls in Tech Atlanta chapter as the Director of Communications. I’m attempting to become more active on the Atlanta tech scene, which is my local tech community.
Well, I think the following sentence will give the previous paragraph a run for its money:
I’m going to SxSW!!! #geek
ReTweet Me
Of course, that sentence isn’t true right now. I’m entering the Blog World contest to win a SxSW pass/badge. As part of my plea to win this contest, I’d like to ask you, my visitors, to retweet the link to this post if you think I’m a good candidate for a free SxSW Interactive Badge. You can use the following link if you’d like: http://bit.ly/rtcorvida .
The retweets will show up towards the bottom of this post.

Thanks for entering Corvida. A great sincere post! I hope we get to meet in Austin.
I hope you make it Corvida! Someday I hope to as well, but you absolutely deserve to be a part of the SXSW scene. Good luck!

<h2 align=”center”>What Makes the Ugg Bailey Button Boot Such a Hit?</h2>
It's simple. UGG Australia has morphed together their two most popular styles. They started with the ever-popular UGG Classic Short Boot and then added a Wooden Button from their best-selling, as seen on Oprah, UGG Cardy. Put them together and you get this year's must have UGG style – the Ugg Bailey Button.
The Bailey Button is available in 5 colors including Black, Chestnut, Grey, Chocolate and Sand. California-based retailer Footwear etc. has received all 5 colors into stock at their 7 stores and is already seeing positive results. Footwear etc. Manager, Andrew Monarch, said "It is not a matter of IF the Bailey sells out, but how quickly. We highly recommend that our customers secure their boots early before it's too late."
Right, it is not a matter of IF the Bailey sells out, but how quickly. So we highly recommend that our customers secure their pair early before it's too late.
The UGG Bailey Button is also very versatile as it can be worn up or folded down for a different look. They feature a soft foam insole and a genuine sheepskin lining. If you haven't experience the comfort of authentic UGG Australia Boots yet then your feet have been missing out. Give the new UGG Bailey Button a try today or if it's not for you, there's always the popular classic styles including UGG Classic Short, UGG Classic Tall and UGG Classic Cardy.
But remember… don't wait to get your UGGs. Every year people procrastinate and then they can't find the UGG Boots they want. UGG Sale–Shop early for the best selection. The closer to Christmas you get the harder it gets to find UGGs.
