Our goal is to bring the SXSW and Austin, TX experience home to all our readers who may not be able to attend this year’s event. This is our first time at SXSW, as well as our first time in Austin, so to aid those who haven’t been here before either we’ll be discussing the fun/cool stuff we find.
Paul and I just got back from checking out all the night life on 6th Street here in Austin, and it’s definitely where we’ll be the rest of the time we’re here (at night anyway!). 6th Street is similar to Bourbon Street in New Orleans or Marshall Street in Syracuse, NY where it’s club after club all the way down the street. I’m not sure if the roads are blocked off every night, but they were definitely not open for traffic tonight. College students from the University of Texas, SXSW attendees, tourists, and other locals crammed each establishment until they all overflowed onto the streets. Street food vendors were making a mint from the 2am bar crowd pouring out and feeling hungry, and everyone seemed to be having a fantastic time.
After Fleshbot linked to a Fred Durst sex video a little over a week ago, you’d think that the news would be all over the blogosphere, but you’d be wrong. It may have to do with the fact that Fred Durst in a sex video is a completely unappealing thought, but regardless, Durst has fought back and slammed Gawker with an $80 million lawsuit. The lawsuit might actually take hold though because Gawker hosted the movie for a few hours instead of just linking to it. First rule of this industry: hosting = liability.
Sometimes you come across an article on the Web and you figure it was written just to upset some people so that they would write about it. In these cases sometimes it is best to just move on and never think about the article again. However, there are times where a person says the stupidest things in the world that go against everything you are preaching to your clients and you have no choice but to do a write-up.
First let’s get one thing straight. This site that you are reading right now is a blog. Now that we have that out of the way it’s time to open the can of (insert your favorite saying here) on Mr. Clint Dixon (first time I had to use the new ‘nofollow’ link attribute). For this entry’s sake, let’s assume that his article is what he really believes and that this isn’t some joke.
