Heading to Austin
I've got an early morning flight to Austin today for the South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival. I got up to the sound of rain on the roof which MUST be an auspicious sign for the festival. We were on our 142nd day without rain. Even the New York Times had written an article about the drought in Phoenix. I'm convincing myself this is a sign of good things to come. Life giving moisture on fallow fields.
I'm also working on a fabulous little laptop with airport. I know everyone and their brother has been using wireless for centuries but I blog from home (late in the evening when no one is up), so it's never been a big issue for me. The more festivals I visit to blog, the more valuable this wireless game becomes. I'm actually on a FREE public wide area LAN at Sky Harbor in Phoenix. How fabulosa to blog with such ease.
I'm anxious to see what SXSW is all about. They've got a lot more attention on music and interactive than Sundance. I'm told their film section isn't as strong (although I have no personal knowledge of that).
