If you come to South by Southwest, prepare yourself. Bring many books. People want to touch them, and no matter how many you bring, the crowds will outnumber the books on display.
Build up your beer tolerance, you’ll drink beer more than coffee, water or anything else. Look presentable, you’ll run into friends, former colleagues, journalists, musicians, filmmakers, bloggers, and Twitter followers.
Remember: It’s a very small world. Get ready to meet people from all the sites you frequently visit and respect. (Hello Mashable, imeem, Moo, Etsy, Zappos, Make, Creative Commons, etc.)
We’re off to eat some BBQ and rest our feet after our second day on the floor.

Don’t dare your colleagues to get Blurb tattoos.

Hey Allison.
It was great to meet all the Blurb folk at SXSWi. It was fantastic and all of the MOO crew that were there had a fabulous time. I just wanted to give credit to our friends at Threadless. While MOO, Etsy, Threadless and Timbuk2 threw the party — the Threadless guys found the DJ.
We’re so glad you had fun. I was amazed at the moves on the dancefloor.
cheers from London, UK
