Very cool, and worth bragging about. I try to avoid SXSW, but will be covering NX35 and ACL Fest as usual.

BTW, why is a photographer that shoots rock climbing covering SXSW?!?

I have to attend the event though i must prefer to spend the weekend shooting birds. Good thing the event is being held at Austin, If it were Houston, i would have tempted to bring my birding outfit :)

Awesome, that should be a blast. Just curious, but what hoops does one jump through to get this sort of permit?

I drank beers with this girl that works at SXSW, got her email and bugged the crap out of her.

I sales photographs..... jk..... I'm helping out the sales dept by taking photos of trade show booths etc for people that are sponsors of SXSW so the sales dept can use them next year for promotional material. In turn I get a platinum badge which gets me access to all the shows, parties, conferences etc, as well as a photo pass to photograph anything I desire...

They spelled your name wrong on the badge, "Merock."

One of my best friend's works for SXSW, so I get a badge every year, if I want one. I only went for Metallica last year, but this year I made a weekend of it. Saw some out-of-state friends who came in, took my neighbor along for the ride, met Woody Harrellson and almost McConaughey, and generally partied till my feet almost fell off. Good times. Highlight of the weekend was Cheap Trick, they were AWESOME....easily the best show I saw. Stone Temple Pilots was good, Hole was good.....Cheap Trick NAILED it.
