#SXSW Music = Condoms

sxsw-swag

So I’m ready for the conference to start, but when I was unpacking the Swag I noticed something funny. Now, I went ALL IN and got the Platinum Badge for SXSW 2010 — That means THREE (3) separate Swag bags for each track of the conference, Music, Film and Interactive. Advertisers seem to get their monies worth of product placement. One sheets, Magazines & Postcards, OH MY!

But ONLY in Music do they give you condoms.

Does that mean that Filmmakers don’t have sex? Too busy editing? Maybe. But does that mean we don’t expect Interactive nerds to be, well… Interactive? At least we’ve got A single tasty fortune cookie to keep us busy (Thanks @phonebooth). Although, getting a Lucky number doesn’t necessarily mean you get Lucky. And my fortune “Fortune smiles upon you today… in a Phonebooth.”

I didn’t now they were looking for IN BED alternatives.

Alright back to the conference (or to the shower and off to catch the bus, Not FREE like Chapel Hill-Carrboro Transit, but reasonable for the week). I saw so many awesome #NCrulesSXSW peeps last night and can’t wait to see more today. I’m also excited for Improv for Freelancers, an Interactive Conversation led by my improv friends Amanda and Jordan Hirsch. Improv Friends AND Improv @sxsw FTW!

#SXSW Eve

sxsw-packing

In ONLY four short hours (a WHOLE Work Week‘s Worth of time according to @tferriss — Say THAT three times fast) I’m heading to the airport with @jeffreylcohen for SXSW. I am excited to get back to Austin to play (READ: Austin, TX has an INCREDIBLE improv community) and soak up as much as I can from SXSW. Last year inspired me to continue pushing forward with programs at the theater and excited to develop my own personal brand (you know). I’m totally packed and ready.

Sneakers (x2)
Denim (x2)
Flip flops and socks (Outkast)
Boarding Pass
DSI Stickers (x500)
ZW Cards (x300)
Flipcam and Tripod plus Extra battery
Laptop supplies with powerstrip
My Awesome NEW phone
Surprise Gifts

Wait. One. Minute. Did I say I was ready? FUNNY! I’ve got 3 hours to blog, answer a dozen time-sensitive messages (since I’ll be on planes until Noon CST Thursday), and get some WAY overdue tax forms printed out and ready to be mailed. I should also shower. No shaving though, ZW Beard returns MARCH 2010.

Btw, You can follow the NC posse headed to Austin at #NCrulesSXSW.

THANK YOU to my gracious host family Asaf Ronen, Tom Booker & Dexter.

Expect constant updates.

/AWESOME

Caveman Power

I’ve got a lot to write about this week — My blog did not keep me honest in February. I did not LIVE blog the NC Comedy Arts Festival as it was happening like I wanted to, and a LOT happened. But it’s over (24 days later) and I’m back to regular life and working on the theater. Two rehearsals today for DSI Witness News and March Madness. Btw, Our new DSI Company performers are AWESOME!

But I don’t have time for details. I just wanted to let the world know that NOT ONLY am I pushing myself to film ZW Works Out EVERYDAY in March (should be interesting since I’ll be in Austin, TX March 11-21 for #SXSW) but I am starting Stage One of the Caveman Power Diet. AHHHHHH!

So, in honor of the daily grazing and one-time daily feasting that starts TOMORROW, I am enjoying a latenight snack from Holland. Stroopwafles! Soft Waffles, Caramel and Rene Duquesnoy FTW!

My trying the caveman diet was inspired by Kevin Thom.

What do you think?
