SXSW Road Trip

Merin and I decided to drive from San Francisco to Austin for SXSW. We're bogging about being on the road to SXSW and what we discover along the way.

We're also road testing internet radio (SomaFM on the iPhone especially) and finding that unfortunately there are too many places on the interstate in the southwest that it still doesn't work reliably.

In addition to the blog, we're posting some updates on SomaFM's twitter (be sure to follow @somafm!)

SXSW "Scene"

The Friday night Sixth Street scene in Austin, Tx, during South by Southwest last year. Just so you can get an idea of what it will be like.
